The Fallen

ORIGINAL PAINTING

 

This work explores the narrative of the Fallen Angels and their relationship to technology and the Ego, as it is found in the Book of Enoch. It carries the theme of the original sin, of hubris and its consequences. It is also a call to remember and be true to your inner nature. To be content with what you are and what you have been given.

ABOUT THIS ARTWORK

The Fallen Angels chained in Tartarus are the inspiration for this work. I have relied upon my own imagination to do much of the work, without having to be too constricted by the text from the Book of Enoch. The angels here are not demonic beings in the pit of hell, but angelic, as their only trespass was to become too human. This frames the narrative in a different way. Are we not all like fallen angels - souls banished to Earth but whose home is in the stars? This was also a key concept in the Orphic tradition.

You may remember the text on the Orphic tablet, reminding the soul of its true nature: "I am a child of Earth and starry Sky, but my race is heavenly. You yourselves know this…”

This is the first painting in a series about the fall of the angels, the second being "Shamziah"
