Rhonda Urdang: Levitation of Bathsheba (After Lucas Cranach the Elder 1526)

Rhonda Urdang: Levitation of Bathsheba (After Lucas Cranach the Elder 1526)

SKU: 2021-00137.
Rated 5.00 out of 5 based on 1 customer rating
(1 customer review)

According to the Hebrew Bible, Bathsheba was the first wife of Hittite, and later of King David. She is most well known for the story when she was summonded by David, who had lusted after her beauty when she was bathing. There is indication that her ethnicity may have been from an African country. My work concerns itself with the intricacies of the collective unconscious. As a feminist artist living and working at 7,000 feet near the sacred San Francisco Peaks in Northern Arizona, symbols and icons are very much a part of my daily life. The revered sciences of antiquity were recorded in secular and religious symbols that sum up certain esoteric principles and therefore form layers of fabrications and enigmatic language. Most cryptograms condense a multitude of meanings into one entity and can be interpreted in a cosmic or human sense. Obscure dreams or nightmares of past, present, and beyond often have no key and can be arduous to unravel. Apparitions or disconcerting images act as truth of reality or are deceptions of paranormal communications that serve to distort or omit the complete truth. My art pierces the veil of remembrance with the creation of unpredictable remnants and is an exploration of feminine mythos intended to leave a seductive mark on obscured alignments. Recollections of cultural personifications and allegory are a vital channel of expression. The recurring pictogram in the cosmology of every people, represents the immense process by which biospheres and all living beings are born. G-d has been a womxn since the beginning of time — a reminder that archeologists believed divinity was considered female for the first 200,000 years of human life on earth. The ovule contains positive and negative forces which together emit camouflaged existence with hidden meanings. The loveliness of the moon has inspired all of humankind since the beginning of time, especially the magical night sky which rhapsodizes our stellar sisterhood. I’m somewhat more myself in my sleep when my body is in a state of slumber — when hybrid images and illusions are formed. — 4/19/2021

    I love that there are so many images, together…offering us the choice of what to focus on…just as in life…but maybe not so much in our dreams. The intricacy and warm browns and oranges draw me in.
