John Slaby

Bosom of Abraham

Oil on Canvas

18x24 in brown wood frame

Alhough overtly sexual at first glance, this piece is really about the desire for the nurturing comfort and safety of the feminine - a desire that manifests itself at any age. Hence the choice of using a grown man. The child-like fetal position expresses both the fulfillment of this desire, his vulnerability and his connection to the inner child. I chose this title which is a Biblical reference to heaven thus associating paradise with the feminine. Accepted into the Visual Arts Alliance Exhibition, Houston, TX, June, 2016.
