This is a painting based on one of my favorite statues in Philadelphia. The title is ‘Angel of the Resurrection’ by Walker Hancock. This statue depicts Michael the Archangel lifting a soldier out of the flames of war. The tall Corinthian columns pronounce its verticality in 30th Street Station, which is itself a grand Art Deco building with 95-foot high ceilings and beautiful chandeliers.
When I view this sculpture I’m reminded of how much we need people to help lift us out of the terrible conflicts and atrocities. This is a reminder to everyone, that there are people in this world doing great things.
This is the last painting I made in 2023 and even though there is much in need of fixing in the world, I’m hopeful for the future.
