About the Item

This painting is the artist's rendering of Hell. We see hundreds of small faces descending into a fiery swirl of reds, yellows and blues. The faces seem to get darker in color as they get closer to the center of the painting. The outermost swirl of faces are pink with red and blue facial features, then they transition into a light blue, and finally black. Hell started the concept of paintings composed of small faces, representing dead souls. It is also the first canvas of an afterlife triptych. For years the artist had worked on a film project called Lost Lands based on a story by George RR Martin (author of Game of Thrones) and was getting tired of the process. Raising money for a film is called Development Hell for a reason and the souls burning in his painting represent the many liars, frauds and hopeless dreamers he has met during his journey as a director.

MIDNIGHT IN EDEN - Orange, Blue, Brown Adam and Eve in Surreal Garden at Night
By Constantin Werner
Located in Signal Mountain, TN
This painting is Werner's interpretation of The Garden of Eden at nighttime, as he imagines it becomes a hellscape after dark. Animals lurk in the darkness behind an emaciated Adam and Eve, the red eyes of a bull-headed dragon pierce through the darkness. "This was my idea: how about if the the Garden Eden was only a peaceful place during the daytime? Once night falls, dark and cruel animals appear, including bats and giant rodents, ruled by the Snake King (here a giant dragon with a male and a female head). Those frightening creatures represent the suppressed, destructive libido of Adam and Eve (painted upside down from each other to show that they are opposites.) Innocent, they only dream about sin and their dark, unrecognized desires." -Constantin Werner
