Description FOR THE GLORY OF GOD ALMIGHTY

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


Counterfeit
CJ Tañedo / Tyago Almario
19.5in x 27.5in (oval)
oil on canvas
2009
SOLD

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


/ RIGHT /

Tyago’s half of this collaborative diptych work is a paradox of predator disguised in respectable garb. The artist states that this crow-headed man is symbolic of false prophets intoxicated with power and deception injected by the Snake contentedly nestled around the man’s neck.


/ LEFT /

In Tañedo’s version of the crow-headed man, the skull was all that was left of the crow’s head but his respectable garb with matching blood-red polka dot tie remains intact. The artist elucidates that the crow-headed man representing false prophets fool themselves with their own sham. CJ adds that these skull-headed prophets are most of the time cut each other’s throats unaware that they all follow Death, their one pestilent pastor.

That's ace. The use of brush is very professional on both sides and they work together well. Would you care to share a tip or two for achieving that kind of lively yet smooth result?
