Sacred Sun, Sacred Moon 1975

David Chethlahe Paladin's 1975 artwork, "Sacred Sun, Sacred Moon," is a geometric abstraction that uses color and form to evoke a sense of spirituality. The use of layered geometric shapes, primarily circles and squares, creates a sense of balance and harmony, echoing traditional Indigenous artistic styles. The artwork's title suggests a connection to celestial bodies and their significance in Indigenous cultures, and the use of muted colors evokes a sense of reverence and respect for the natural world. This piece reflects Paladin's artistic style, which often combined geometric abstraction with Indigenous symbolism, creating a unique and captivating visual experience.
