Amazing piece, Pica! Love the calligraphy and colours, and it’s quite large – wish I could see it in real life.
Wow. And I love the looming figure. Death in his cowl, sure, but unhacknifyed.
(Hey, it’s the end of the world, I can make up words if I want to!)
Beautiful use of text and the colors are incredible.
Holy wow. Even better at larger size.
I also wish I could see it in person!
The words written across “Death” are a nice gracenote.
I wish I could see it at full size. It’s powerful even here. The horse is a horse of the apocalypse? But it also looks like a cave painting to me — ss though the words were layers of history on the wall of the cave. A great interpretation of the theme.
So complexly, incisively beautiful. Speaking softly but relentlessly to so many feelings and associations. Powerful and wonderful.
Beautifully and frighteningly evocative!
A really beautiful object about unspeakable ugliness.
Some kind of strange metamorphosis. The spirit of it not unlike the beautiful-ugly Indian goddess of destruction, Kali.
Thank you very much, everyone. Despite the subject matter, this was fun to do.
Dale — the figure in his cowl was a total accident. I love those.
R — I’m glad you like the words across Death — I wasn’t sure about it. It was the last thing I did, not sure till the end, but pleased with the result.
Nancy — yes, it was Death’s pale horse, but the whole thing did feel like a cave painting/graffitoed wall.
Now my question is what to do with the thing…
