DESCRIPTION
The amusing vision that one of the angels is meeting a Greek statue with wings, wondering how the sculpture was created and whether one day he might also turn into such a sculpture was the leading thought of that painting.
AT THE GATES might be a neutral place or border where this transformation occurs. That`s why I painted it in grey. And I imagined that each candidate leaves a graffiti tag before the transformation happens. A cross-reference to the artists I grew up with.
What if that was me?
And then what would be my last words?
“May all my sins be remembered.”, would be my answer.

The origin of the depictions of angels can already be traced back to Judaism. Albrecht Dürer had the angels appear in connection with the apocalypse. The early modern period popularized the illustration of small child angels with chubby cheeks.
There was also controversy surrounding the nature of angels: scholars such as Thomas Aquinas pondered the question of how and why.
Aquinas even argued that angels do not have to have bodies. But it is a topic, which is missed out in Modern Art.
Artists like Alfred Schwarzenschild (1920) or Herbert James Draper (1898) painted the “Fallen Icarus”, but as we know that`s Greek mythology.
I would love to say, that it was Caravaggio, who inspired me to create a whole series of guys wearing these massive wings, as I have never seen that in paintings like that before. And a wise man once said: “Create your world! Paint what you like to see in paintings.”
