God created humanity to rule with him in the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve were free to eat of any of the trees in the garden, including the Tree of Life, but not the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. The serpent tempted Eve to eat of this tree, questioning God’s voice. The fruit looked good to Eve, and she ate and shared it with her husband. But this action alienated humanity from God, and in shame they were cast out of the garden.
In this two-layer painting, the shiny fruit sits on the outer, transparent layer, partially obscuring the true nature of the tree and its fruit. Underneath the twisting serpent, Adam and Eve, colorless as stone, cover themselves in shame, based on Masaccio’s 1425 depiction of the Expulsion. They try to cover themselves in fig leaves. The fruit of the tree rots. Wolf and fire come to devour. Thorns and thistles cover the ground, representing Adam’s curse. Blood flows, representing Eve’s. A vulture inhabits the barren tree. We await redemption.
Approximately 3.5ft x 6ft (1.07x1.83m) Acrylic and dye on silk. The dyes have been set permanently using a steam-setting process. The top includes a sewn-in compartment for inserting a rod or wire for hanging.
As seen in NYC, Paris, and Tokyo
