Welcome to Revelation Unraveled. I'm your host, William Tapley,
also known as the Third Eagle of the Apocalypse and the Co Prophet of the
End Times.
Several years ago I did a video celebrating my first year
on YouTube and I discussed my
portrait sculptures of attractive young ladies and
now, this is my 5th year on YouTube, in fact, I will be
beginning my sixth year on July 31st and I thought I would talk about
the meaning of abstract sculptures and
I have discovered that abstract art
does have relevance now circling
the human body is the greatest most beautiful most perfect
most sublime for men all of nature
and of course the reason as because it
is an imitation I love God Almighty
as the Bible says that we are made in the image
and lightness of God however they're is an advantage to
abstract art because you can combine the human form
with other forms in nature such as rocks and boulders
or plan forms and you come come up with a completely new expression land
quite a few years ago I did a series combining the former
open human hand which is expressive in itself
and the form Ave Madonna and Child
and of course madonna's are very popular
and are and have always been a subject for serious art
now let's take a look at some of my examples confining
the open hand form with the Madonna and Child
found this Madonna an child I have used a simple circle to express the face of
the Madonna
and another smaller simple circle of to express the face up the child
I think you can see the rough Lee the former
the hand and I have used to the three basic shapes in nature
triangles circles and rectangles
to express this particular are and of course
triangles circles and squares
are signs of the Trinity this piece is cast and
polyester resin with a powdered aluminum
filler and I believe it gives a rather attractive Metallica parents
now this is one of the very first sculptures I made
combining the hand form with a
Madonna form to create an abstract sculpture
the sculptures made out of concrete and try
but as we sculptors like to say it's cast stone
this is one time I'm earlier madonna's
as you can see this concept of combining a hand
with him and I can be expressed in quite a number of ways
now this piece is cast in polyester resin
with Anna packs a painted surface I believe this combined
open hand and Madonna form is recognizable
also from the back now this is a rather
large balky P so I decided to leave this in my
gallery rather than move it outside
and once again a abstract form in this case an ellipse
expresses the face of the montana and another smaller labs
expresses the face of the child I have subtitle the sculptures of flame
and it is made I love polyester fiber glass
with a Browns powdered filling
now I would undoubtedly call this piece more of a hand
than a Madonna nonetheless the hand form
has been modified by the concept of a Madonna and Child
normally for example the fingers on my hand
turn away from the thumb but in this piece the fingers are banned
toward the thumb favored giving you some what the flavor
up a Madonna of course abstract art can be perverted
just like the human form can be perverted into pornography
pornography degrades the human spirit
and true art uplift the human spirit
and I hope I have uplifted the human spirit with my
abstract Madonna and child's now
