The Music of the Spheres

Original title: L’harmonie des sphères

A keyboard comes down from heaven onto a white cathedral with golden domes.

The piano keys fall like organ pipes, or shafts of light, onto a building that recalls Christ the Saviour in Moscow, which was being rebuilt in those very years. A base of grey stone carries the weight; everything above is white on white with a breath of blue. The old idea of the title is made visible: sky and stone, in tune.

About the series

Each canvas in this cycle starts from a title — an expression, a brand, a slogan — and treats it as a subject for classical painting. The result is a chronicle of contemporary public life, in which power, money and belief appear as characters.
