Experience “Tiamat: The Shattering of Primordial Chaos”-an abstract painting where black, white, and red evoke the mythic birth of cosmos from chaos.
In this dramatic abstract painting, Gérald Gaboriau channels the mythic force of Tiamat, the Mesopotamian goddess who personifies the primordial sea and chaos at the dawn of creation. Executed with a palette knife, the work captures the explosive instant when original chaos is fractured, giving birth to the cosmos. Striking contrasts between deep black, pure white, and scarlet red generate powerful visual tension on a 50x60 cm canvas.
Materials and Technique
A unique blend of media-oil, acrylic, charcoal and brick pigments, and Chinese ink-creates rich textures and layered depths. The exclusive use of the palette knife produces vigorous transitions between dark masses and bursts of light, lending the work a raw materiality and intense physical presence.
Artistic Vision
The composition expresses the raw energy of the Tiamat myth. Intense black zones evoke the primordial abyss, while vivid red accents suggest cosmic violence. White spaces represent the emergence of order from chaos, establishing a visual dialogue between destruction and creation. The knife’s dynamic gestures and sharp contrasts embody the eternal struggle between primal forces, captured in the very substance of the painting.
Symbolism
Tiamat, in Mesopotamian mythology, is the mother of gods and the embodiment of the salt sea and primordial chaos. Her cosmic battle with Marduk, resulting in her shattering and the creation of the world from her body, is a foundational myth of order arising from chaos. This artwork embodies that duality: the transformation of chaos into order, the eternal tension between destruction and creation, and the birth of the universe from the fragmentation of the primordial sea.
