Devi Anne Moore White Throne of
Judgment |
||
| For the past fifteen years, Devi Anne Moore has been creating a series of 3D paintings that depict the visions of John's apocalyptic book of Revelation. The artist's intent is to convey the verses in the context of an emotional response, the universal in the context of the personal, the explicit in the context of the implied, a symbol in the context of a point of departure, the narrative in the context of a spiritual reality. The pieces allow for the dynamics of various visions to collide or intersect without a specific time or space, yet making that time and space a tangible reality simultaneously eternal and temporal. Another biblical reference, the book of Hebrews, provided her premise for making her art based on the idea that the things of this earth are referred to as copies, shadows, or dim reflections of the eternal heavenly dimension. This reference motivated her to visually interpret the vivid word pictures of Revelation as constructed paintings combining three-dimensional objects, photographic images and painted illusions. The results literally break through the two-dimensional picture plane. The intention is to suggest that what is of this earth is only a dim glimpse of the true reality of the heavenly realm. And the viewer senses the dichotomy between man's material and earthly reality versus a spiritual and heavenly one. |
