Alpha Trinity

Title: Alpha Trinity

Size: 36" x 24"

Medium: Acrylic on canvas

Status: In progress

This piece was started on my 25th birthday, on the second day of work the objects were added. The use of those two objects directly references my painting 'David and Goliath' from February of this year. However, I soon realized that there was an uncanny resemblance to a much older painting which I had stood in front of in 2006 ... Masaccio's 'Holy Trinity', painted in 1426, in the Florentine church Santa Maria Novella.

Here's a detail of Masaccio's Trinity. I'll discuss the piece in a future blog post as I bring it towards completion (It will be included in the Spotober group show, Oct. 15th - Nov. 12th)

As a point of interest, Masaccio was 25 when he painted his 'Trinity'.
