Silas Crowe · No. 262
The Last Lantern
The Last Lantern is the most human and tender work in Silas Crowe's Visionary Macabre. A lone cloaked figure, leaning on a staff, lifts a glowing lantern as it wades through a swirling marsh of blood-red marbled liquid strewn with skulls, twisted dead trees looming and a distant ruined city dim on the horizon beneath a turbulent sky. Crowe surrounds the single warm flame with churning impasto darkness, so the small light becomes the whole meaning of the picture. Lonely, sublime and quietly hopeful, it reads as a pilgrim crossing the land of the dead — a fragile flame of life against overwhelming night.
An original oil painting on canvas by Silas Crowe, painted to order — never a reproduction. Turbulent visionary oil dreamscapes — blood-red marbled rivers, twisted dead trees and weathered skulls beneath swirling Van-Gogh skies; haunting, sublime and richly textured.
