Bless 7

2013 – Oil on canvas – 110 x 150 cm (93.3 x 59.1 in)

According to Christian culture, every one has a guardian angel, who accompanies us from birth to death.

The idea of a supernatural entity that follows and supervises us, was already present in other religions and in Greek philosophy. In his “Bless” series,  Philipp Weber shows one of those guardian angels, disguised as a young woman dressed in a white top and shorts of denim but with beautifully painted white wings. Sitting on a rock she gazes at the viewer. Does she look sad or angry? Or even punitively? In any case this heavenly help shares the emotions of the one was sent out to protect.
