About the Item
The piece is based in the narrative poem Paradise Lost, written by John Milton in 1667. The author does a self-interpretation of Adam and Eve’s original sin and their later exile from Paradise. This is a beautifully narrated version from a more open and modern point of view.
One can observe two images set at different levels, so their horizon lines coincide. The first image is a character lying on a shining sheet with her feet foreshortened at foreground; the sky can be seen behind her head, simulating a halo that symbolizes the divine similarity we used to have with the heavenly creatures. Furthermore, she wears a piece of old rope tied to her ankle, representing her inedible earthly nature.
The second image shows the same character lying down the other way around, leaning her feet on the sky and with her back on the floor, representing the fall after the sin. On her wrists one can read a pair of tattoos: Hope and Love, both essential virtues of the characters from the poem.
This diptych, by Juan Barragán, is framed in two separate frames and can be hung together or separately.

Rick Sindt A Quiet Line oil on panel 8h x 8w x 0.50d in 20.32h x 20.32w x 1.27d cm RIS034 “This body of work has been crystalizing in my mind for about five years,” says Sindt, “It is the product of reflecting on how the places I learned the most about myself, and my desires, are considered something that sullies a person, something taboo.” Focused on the experiences of gay men, this body of oil paintings depicts moments that range from tender touches to more sexually explicit acts. “It was important to me that I only represent what I know,” explains Sindt, “I identify as a man, and I am attracted to others who identify as men. I don’t believe it is my place to speak on behalf of other members of the queer community whose experiences I am unfamiliar with.” “In creating this work, I spoke with men who told me about how they hid magazines when they were a kid, took out P.O. Boxes in their small hometowns to protect their privacy, and learned how to cover their tracks on the internet. These secretive acts become necessary when the need to understand yourself is great, but your world is bereft of representation."
