Sax Berlin
Angel Of Peace: Contemporary Mixed Media Figurative Painting

2020

About the Item

In these testing times it's become easy to turn inwards rather than looking outwards into the world. In a painting that is archetypical of Sax Berlin Angel of Peace is a reflection of how our world has changed. Started in 2017 but remaining unfinished until Berlin knew how to conclude it, Angel of Peace is now ready to be seen. The technique, egg tempera, is a medieval one of hand ground pigments dissolved in an emulsion miscible with water and crushed marble for depth highlighted with sumptuous gold leaf. Elevated by Berlin to a higher level Angel of Peace is reminiscent of Botticelli and Michelangelo but with a deeper, heavier effect. Hand ground pigments, crushed marble and pure gold leaf.

    An original egg tempera and gold leaf on board by American female conceptual contemporary artist Rosemary Lyons. What makes an artist a failure? While strolling through the Metropolitan I was viewing the wing piece of a more extensive altar and observed words etched into the golden grounds. This had a profound resonance with me because of my fascination and utilization of words in all of my work. Next I visited the Cloisters and stood transfixed in front of Robert Campion’s “Annunciation” Of particular interest was the lovely white lily that indicates Mary’s purity. On this same sojourn I witnessed the line out the door and around the block of people waiting to get into a contemporary artist’s retrospective. Is that success? My response began with one painting of lilies...
