Ford (after Michelangelo)

Pairing:
The Creation of Adam — Sistine Ceiling by Michelangelo
Image of a vintage Ford automobile

Acrylic on canvas
Dimensions: 30" x 37"

Artist's Insights:
Q. The depiction of Michelangelo's God in the Art Wheels series does seem quite incongruous. What crossed your mind as you put the images together?

A. At first, I thought the juxtaposition was irreverent: the Sistine Ceiling with its sacred imagery interacting with a Ford automobile. But, the pairings fit so well together that I pursued it. Then the painting sold soon after it was completed so I didn't have much time to reflect on the outcome.
