Seventy Witnesses, by Henry Gates
Altarworks, by Henry Gates
Being in Time, by Henry Gates
Seventy Witnesses' is third painting 3' by 8' called ReFORM. Abstraction is of Protestant era 1500-2020/21. 70 events are hidden in minute angles of sweeping forms of squares/arcs and triangulars; each labeled as a historical event. The set of three: ZION-1600 to 100 BCE, and Christendom 0-1500 AD, and ReFORM of our times, are available for showing in your church, on request.
This portion of my oil painting shows the tradition of art for worship, in the search for symbols. I have taken Ghiberti's 10 panels from Doors of Paradise, and realized them in oil paint squares 2'x2' each, that may be shown in your church. Other art works create a folding screen often used for personal devotion. Workshop on this art tradition is available.
'BEING IN TIME: Four Elements in Motion. A Colonial Woman in a Life Cycle.' is 400 pages of historical fiction about the Puritan era of 1620-1690. This is available for $20 'On Demand' from Harvard.com.; written by this artist over five years to explore spiritual autobiography; while making a formal historical study of Puritans. I blend creative fiction, art and study.
