Resurrection 1
The symbol of resurrection occurs not only in the Christian religion
but is dominant throughout the older European religions, at least all
the way back to the story of Osiris in ancient Egypt and probably far
beyond. Here the symbol is mixed with the image of the emergence of the
butterfly from the chrysalis - or it could be the 'winding sheet' used
to wrap the dead. It is a painting of Hope - something Europe (and
particularly Britain) seems to need at the moment. Maybe Australia
needs this too.
Oil on canvas. 24in x 16in (approx).
