Two Winged Ones

   
Two Winged Ones
  • 2012
  • Wash on paper
  • 9 12 × 6 12 inches(24 × 16 12 cm)

  • Signed lower right: BAK

  • Winged pawns. Angels as former soldiers.
    The transformation of the common soldier by the talent of the artist.
    If only we could be made into good deed doers rather than warriors.

    The crisis in Ukraine is the most recent example of leaders who are prepared to discard the lives of their pawns for what end. To them, these pawns are expendable.

    Technically a small tour de force. Water based wash is furtive and to render detail and texture makes this image all the more believable.
