The Story
Size:38 x 52 in.
This original painting by Matt Herring, titled "Fallen Angel", is a provocative and visually striking mixed media piece measuring 33" x 47". The artwork portrays a modern angel adorned with tattoos, blending elements of classical symbolism with contemporary street art aesthetics. The figure, bare-chested and covered in intricately detailed tattoos, stands in a vulnerable pose, her hands touching her face with an expression that conveys both contemplation and defiance. A delicate floral crown rests atop her head, while a glowing halo hovers above, offering a juxtaposition between purity and rebellion.
The angelās wings, rich in texture and colour, transition from a soft green to deep reds, their edges dripping with paint, symbolising the fall from grace. The background is layered with soft, muted tones, further enhanced by drips of white and copper paint, giving the entire piece a raw, edgy atmosphere. The figureās tattoos, which include religious symbols, add complexity to the narrative, suggesting a struggle between divine and earthly forces. The use of metallic elements and bold contrasts creates a dynamic, almost ethereal energy that resonates throughout the piece.
"Fallen Angel" exemplifies Matt Herringās ability to blend traditional iconography with contemporary motifs, making this artwork both thought-provoking and visually captivating.
