“Sabaism the worship of stars or of spirits in them, especially as practised in ancient Arabia and Mesopotamia; the term comes (in the early 18th century) via French from Hebrew ṣā bā' 'hosts (of heaven)', after the presumed etymology of Sabian.”A tranquil sky laden with pinpricks of light, surrounds a golden orb, lending a mystical quality to this celestial piece. Created on circular heavyweight cartridge paper, with All Is Not Lost's signature ink and bleach, 'Sabaism' is a window to the top of the world and maybe even beyond. An intricately detailed horizon punctuates the liminal space between above and below, completing a calming and meditative composition.(SOLD)Prints available.Ink, bleach and gold leaf on paper.50cm x 50cm. 40cm Diameter Show more
