This striking abstract work was created by Jean-Paul Jerome. The composition is dominated by circular and semi-circular forms bursting with vibrant colour, intersected by stark black lines that carve up the image. These circular forms are ancient symbols, evoking the sun, the moon, and the cyclical nature of life itself. Consider how the sun motif appears across cultures, from Egyptian sun gods to the solar symbolism in Renaissance art. The power of this symbol lies in its ability to convey the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. The black lines may at first appear destructive, but consider them as a framework, similar to the structural lines in a stained-glass window. They could even symbolize the human need to give structure to the chaos of the natural world. Such lines can evoke a subconscious sense of order and control in the face of uncertainty. In this painting, the artist uses the colours and lines to channel profound emotions, reminding us that symbols from the past resurface to take on new meanings and purposes, thus creating a non-linear progression.
