Michael Murphenko Installation TaborLight. 2012 , Canvas, oil, aluminum carcass, cable, 600 x 350 cm. ARTIST STATEMENT Tabor or uncreated light transfigures - it changes/destroys/rebirths everything it touches. Experienced as the light of Heaven or the fire of Hell, it is equally terrifying and merciless. Meeting of uncreated light turned Moses, Christ and Paul into heretics. Only in uncreated light can we experience the Real - it is the “lifting of the veil”, for a man it is revelation, for the World – the Apocalypse. The installation is an octaptych suspended above the viewer, addressing but not imitating traditional church ceiling iconography. Each piece shows uncreated light erupting – from the head, the genitals, the back, the body, the air, the behind, the centre. Genesis, Eden, Sacrifice, Death, Mother, Father, Human Race - these paintings spin around the central image of an Archangel – not an idealized reflection but a monster of transformation. #MichaelMurphenko #tbt #ChocolateHouse (at Kyiv, Ukraine) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcWWouZuFpE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
