AGLOU 4

Conceived and realized in 1985 / 86, this painting is the forth one of a serie, it expresses the accession to a certain balance, the agreement of harmony and chaos. Primarily inspired by studies in the field of Speculative Alchemy, the painting is built on the opposition Blue / Red which are allotted to Dali-El Salvador (the saver) and to Christ, other saver, who appears with thirteen recoveries in the form of variations around the image of the Shroud of Turin. Ric, the artist, appears himself Ten times, committed in various tasks: because the subject of this image is indeed the share of alchemical Work that the researcher must carry out in himself and in the world in order to achieve a harmonization of his contradictory Tendencies. The image of Christ adopts, in its various forms is located on the chessboard, the scenes featuring the four Cardinal Virtues (Strength, Temperancy, Justice and Prudence: in blue), and Seven Sins, are in red at the bottom of the left panel. Ric himself sees his face confused with the Malignant in the centre of this same panel, represented by the mask of Satan already present on the chessboard of Aglou 3 and in the arcane of the Devil in the tarot.
