Curatorial Description:
“The Four Fallen” is a monumental expressionist work that confronts themes of redemption, spiritual exile, and fractured divinity. The four central figures, rendered in raw, emotive brushwork, embody a haunting presence—children and angels alike, suspended between innocence and sorrow.
Their halos are implied more than painted, fractured by black intersecting lines that resemble both cages and broken wings. The background bursts with chaotic color—blue skies bleeding into fire-like oranges and shadowy depths. At the bottom, an animalistic face looms—a harbinger or guardian of this strange spiritual realm, half creature, half conscience.
These figures are not merely characters; they are fallen angels—not in condemnation, but in mourning. Each one stares outward with a gaze that transcends judgment. There is pain, but also memory. There is ruin, but also a strange dignity.
“The Four Fallen” invites the viewer to ask: what makes an angel fall? And what remains divine in those who are broken?
