"Seventh Seal" - Salvatore Testa
Author: Salvatore Testa Title: "Seventh Seal" Oil on canvas - 140x100 cm Canvas with central rod - thickness 2.5 cm Year: 2015   Some figures from every era are gathered in a dreamlike manner. This means that what they do cannot be understood by the rationality of everyday life. However, the knight arrives to judge and weigh, just as narrated in the seals of the biblical apocalypse, the last chapter of the Bible, which has not been torn out or tampered with by anyone, simply because they did not hope it is a prophetic text describing the 3000 years starting from year zero. This also clearly explains why the ancients were often hermetic.   Women linger inconclusively around a shaman. A man has his head in the dark and his body in the light—a clear metaphor to say that those who command their bodies are groping in the dark. This concept can be perfectly extended to the social structure of modern humans where the leader is in the dark. On the right, a peacock extends the undefined field. In the sky, unusual lights. The scene is a nocturnal vision of transition, like a photo taken from a train window. Everything is motionless, but everything trembles, just as everything trembles in the words of the apocalypse. The sharp coloring overwhelms every sense and becomes a concept for those who can enjoy it.
