Ezekiel’s Vision

A contemporary representation of Ezekiel’s vision, this painting reimagines the ancient prophetic imagery within a modern context. Ezekiel’s vision, as described in the Bible, includes a divine chariot composed of four living creatures, each with four faces and four wings, moving in perfect unison. Above them is a throne of sapphire with a figure like a man, radiating brilliance, symbolizing the glory of God.

After the Scream

In the midst of his middle-class life, the nude figure curls up on a sofa almost in a fetal position. He emotes a feeling that is best depicted by Edvard Munch in the painting The Scream. A copy of The Scream hangs over the fireplace. Fenton suggests that the social isolation and the resulting melancholia cause the colors of the figure’s environment to intensify and distort as the nude figure contemplates his life.
