I visited one site of an oil painting artist: Anselm Kiefer
His works make me feel of old type drawing with patterns here and there, and a special image repeated in his works: a snake. In the article written about his exhibition, they explained the snake is used as a symbol of himself. That interests me.
And yes, I found a painting named “Resurrexit” (1971) in his galleries and it did have conceptual meaning and also related to my lesson in class. You can see at once: symmetrical, balance is really in the painting.
At first I just think of a lonely snake coming nearer to the end of the wood and totally didn’t notice of the wood stair on top of the picture. I think the stair is another picture, but after reading the explanation, I know it has the relation between it and the wood with the snake.
As it was explained, the very far point at the end of the wood, there is a building and the snake headed to it. The pinewood stair on the top of the pictures is thought to be a stair leads to heaven. However, Kiefer had converted his studio into the building and pinewood stairs are the only access to the studio. So we can understand where is the link and why is it.
Below is another painting which also has the Snake

All paintings are really special. The colors, the snake, the house with the wood-texture. All of them created a environment which remind me of a strange feeling. A feeling which I often had when I was young. I really like the colors and texture of these painting.
Thank you, T! I also had feeling like you, the colours remind us something we see in the childhood, something mysterious.
