Rite of the Black Sun
Acrylic on Canvas
22" X 17"
Rite of the Black Sun was done as an illustration project of Antonin Artaud poetry newly translated by a friend, Bill White, which was in the end unpublished. I simply followed the very visual text of the poem, thinking of Andrea Del Sarto for the figures of monks dismantling Christian symbols. A painting of cosmological mystery, the Alpha and the Omega.
