◇ After

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (Apocalypse series) · Albrecht Durer, 1498

The same compressed charge sweeping right to left: the bowman at upper right, the skeleton on the scrawny mount out in front at the far left, bodies going under the hooves. The hell-mouth waits at the edge for them.

“After” is the old gallery word for a work made in open conversation with another. It is a lineage, not a shortcut.

From the release

This art print titled "Four Horsemen" by Jermaine Rogers was originally used for a Foo Fighters, Motörhead Memphis 2011 gig poster.

The left side depicts chaos and destruction with the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse charging on horseback, accompanied by scenes of war, death, and suffering. Soldiers with weapons, skulls, and distorted human figures writhe in agony beneath them. The illustration style is intricate and detailed, with fine linework reminiscent of woodcut or etching techniques.

In stark contrast, the right side depicts a heavenly or transcendent realm with winged angelic figures floating among clouds. An all-seeing eye emits rays of light from the upper right corner, watching over a distant city skyline below. The composition suggests a divide between damnation and salvation, destruction and peace.

The entire piece is rendered in a monochromatic color scheme that shifts from deep red through orange to golden yellow, unifying the contrasting imagery while maintaining the dramatic division. The detailed line art style throughout creates texture and depth, with the artist's meticulous attention to detail evident in both the chaotic and serene portions of the composition.

This powerful imagery reflects Rogers' commentary on humanity's fascination with apocalyptic beliefs and self-destruction, as mentioned in his statement about the artwork's meaning and interpretation of the biblical Four Horsemen.
