Sacred Hell

"Jorge Luis Borges and M. C. Escher Discussing Then Describing To Dante Alighieri The Poetic Form Of His 9th Circle Of Hell" Hybridization work. Half digital and half hand drawn without rulers to draw the lines. *Blue was the sacred color of hell in the Early Renaissance to denote as a place where people suffered eternally. It was ice cold and blue, rather than red with intense heat. Giotto, Masaccio, Giovanni Bellini, Andrea Mantegna, Annibale Carracci, and Michelangelo's Last Judgement all used blue to reinforce this. However, these artist's used an even more powerful element that wasn't chromatic interpretation. It was perspective. This single handedly giving the illusion of a real and tangible environment. It was technical prowess of material/s and spatial and scientific innovations that renders the imaginary, real. Visceral. Perspective alone, catapulted art from the Dark Ages into one that of Light.. Enter: Quantum mechanics, perception, and the age of mechanical reproduction. It gets bizarre, yet we've been here somehow..
