7 deadly sins - envy

7 deadly sins - envy

mixed media (metallic acrylic paint, printing ink and inks) on wash&draw paper A3

.. inspired by conversation with DAMcD and some Roy Skogvold’s works
.. visual contemplation on the nature of ‘sin’ as being an integral part of our human make up … symbolism of bronze/gold/silver colour to accentuate the preciousness ( preciousness of the perceived value we often attach to our sinful preoccupations as well as preciousness intended for our bodies) ... bright colors for a loving design … blots and drips to symbolize the tainting of the otherwise perfect relationship between the Creator and the Creature …...
... there is a traditional categorization of sins … these days perhaps rather outdated by realization that sin as such does not really hold some exact categories …. nevertheless I am upholding – very loosely – these categories for the sake of series of images on this theme …. armed with my sons ‘atlas of human anatomy’ .... looking more closely and lovingly onto “the clay” we are all made up of …..

    I like this seven deadly sins series. It’s like Gerald Scarfe meets Gray’s anatomy! Do you draw, or have you considered drawing, in a medial school pathology museum? There is a wealth of this sort of stuff to look at and draw and play around with.
