  Hello.....Billie - Digital



Speciale,Phillip-Key to Creation
Key to Creation / Mixed Media / 6 / 27.00 USD

Description: Print, Unframed, Signed, Open Editions This beautiful surreal piece seems to symbolize the beginning and the end. Another rather dark piece by the Artist who utilizes the highly recognizable hands from Michelangelo's fresco "The Creation of Adam" and Giovanni Bellini's "Madonna and Child" which gives it a deep religious feel. The key may open doors to the beginning while the skulls and ravens might signify the end. All under the careful watch of a ticking clock which is permanently nailed to a wall. With roses in bloom and the "Madonna and Child" surrounded by a gothic frame, one can't begin to comprehend where the beginning begins and the end ends. The final twist of this piece is the digital polar inversion of the photo which seems to take the shadow box off the wall and place it on a ceiling just like "The Creation of Adam". This is how the Artist may want it to end.

Phillip Speciale

Biography
 
Statement
Phillip J. Speciale (°1959, Chicago, United States) is a self taught artist who works in a variety of media. Speciale tries to approach a wide scale of subjects in a multi-layered way and likes to involve the viewer in a way that is sometimes challenging. His artworks sometimes directly respond to the surrounding environment and uses everyday experiences from the artist as a starting point. Often these are framed instances that would go unnoticed in their original context. With a conceptual approach, he tries to creates intense personal moments luring the viewer round and round in a world of imagination. Speciale's works are presented with the aim not to provide an idealistic view but to identify where light and the environment are important. The energy of a place and its emotional and spiritual vibrations are always important. By replaying the work for each viewing and pushing the evocative power of the work a little further, he tries to focus on the activity of presenting. The character, shape or content of the presented artwork is secondary. The essential things are the momentary and the intention of presenting. His works do reference a recognizable form. The results are deconstructed to the extent that the meaning is shifted and possible interpretation becomes multifaceted.
