As Above So Below: A Cosmic Tapestry of Time and Connection
In 'As Above So Below,' the canvas unfolds into a delicate tapestry that explores the profound interconnectedness of the cosmos and the earthly realm. At its heart stands Goddess Laxmi, a symbol of abundance and divinity, poised gracefully on top of a lotus. Within the petals of this lotus rests the figure of Jesus Christ, embodying the unity of spiritual traditions from East to West.
Above, amidst the clouds, the divine companions Hanuman, Ram, and Laxman take flight, symbolising the timeless bond between devotion and heroism. Their presence signifies the enduring stories that traverse the celestial and terrestrial realms.
On the right, a celestial spaceship descends, bearing Adam and Eve as it beams down to Earth, evoking the idea of human origin and evolution. This juxtaposition reminds us of our earthly beginnings and the infinite possibilities that lie ahead.
The oceans of time ebb and flow, unveiling the bygone era of India, while a pirate ship alludes to the complex history of British colonisation. These juxtaposed narratives encapsulate the shared history of two nations, shaped by their interwoven destinies.
Yet, the most striking revelation lies below, where London city exists upside down and submerged in an ethereal underwater world. Amongst the coral and seaweed, beautiful and monstrous sea creatures thrive, embodying the dichotomy of human creations and nature's resilience.
'As Above So Below' is a commentary on the interplay between the spiritual and the temporal, the ancient and the modern, and the cosmic and the earthly. It invites viewers to contemplate the intricate connections that weave through the fabric of existence, transcending time and space, and fostering a deeper appreciation for the boundless mysteries of our universe."
Each edition is a finely crafted piece of art, individually titled, numbered, and signed by Ketna Patel. Depending on the work’s nature, it is produced either as a C-Type print on Fuji gloss paper or as a Giclée print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag paper, both ensuring archival durability and suitability for diverse climates, including humid environments like Singapore. Prints are created at esteemed studios in London, Singapore, or New Delhi, using premium archival materials. Limited to 50 copies per size (150 total unframed), each is shipped carefully rolled in a poster tube. For a slick, glossy, contemporary look, the artwork is also offered as Acrylic or HD Metal prints, each limited to 25 per size. Acrylic prints are made on 5mm thick, 70% recycled glossy acrylic with a premium foil backing that amplifies colour richness and depth, framed in white, black, or natural wood. HD Metal versions utilize dye sublimation on scratch-resistant, waterproof aluminium, producing vivid, sharp images suited for indoor or outdoor display with a frameless floating effect. Both formats come with prefitted hanging systems and spacers for easy installation. Each piece is made to order with a 10-day production timeframe, ensuring exclusivity and meticulous record-keeping to prevent duplication.
