No one seems to listen to him.  I have presented the viewer with many options. The symbols represent the messenger's journey through time. Each one symbolizing a difficulty he has encountered. Melting ice cream for global warming, the Latin "Venum" meaning for sale, "Arcana Imperii' meaning secrets of the empirethe alarm clock symbolizing time is running out, and even the life ring, that is hung in irony as the messenger's hangman's noose.</span><span style="font-family: STHeiti; font-size: 14px;" class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></p></div> Mon, 08 Aug 2011 20:54:06 -0700 http://nathangibbsart.com/gallery-byzantine-betrayal-/old-and-tired---surf-art.html http://nathangibbsart.com/gallery-byzantine-betrayal-/the-money-the-flood-and-the.html <div class="article-summary"><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: STHeiti; font-size: 14px;" class="Apple-style-span">The Money, the Puppet and the Flood - Acrylic on Panel - 30" x 36" </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: STHeiti; font-size: 14px;" class="Apple-style-span">$3100 - Free Shipping - Contact for Hi Res Image</span><br /></p><p style="text-align: center; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal STHeiti; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal STHeiti; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: 'Century Gothic';">Later in time the messengers become frustrated with their progress. They feel as though they are being teased, fooled and joked with. The floods of the great warming have come, and technology has set itself back. The messengers preach to fight against the money and greed, but no one seems to care or listen.</span></p></div> Mon, 08 Aug 2011 20:08:42 -0700 http://nathangibbsart.com/gallery-byzantine-betrayal-/the-money-the-flood-and-the.html http://nathangibbsart.com/gallery-byzantine-betrayal-/sacrifices-the-scribe-and.html <div class="article-summary"><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: STHeiti; font-size: 14px;" class="Apple-style-span">2009 Acrylic on Panel 24" x 48" $3100 - Free Shipping - Contact for Hi Res Image</span><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: STHeiti; font-size: 14px;" class="Apple-style-span">The Scribe came to council after years of his writings influencing the masses needing the last of the secret languages.

The Messengerra as he/she is called attempts to mediate the conflict, but is not against action if needed.  Do they listen to the Lion? Do they listen to the Serpent? What decision does the messenger make about water? The painting contains many symbols, Latin phrases and hidden themes. The Arabic on the flag translates to "Our money is your death" referring to oil production. This surf art is the first step in creating a stimulus of thought and historical reference.  </p></div> Mon, 08 Aug 2011 20:08:42 -0700 http://nathangibbsart.com/gallery-byzantine-betrayal-/negotiations---surf-art.html http://nathangibbsart.com/gallery-byzantine-betrayal-/the-betrayal-of-man.html <div class="article-summary"><p style="text-align: center; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal STHeiti; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">The Betrayal of Man -Acrylic on Panel - 48" x 48" $6300 - Free Shipping - Contact for Hi Res Image </p><p style="text-align: center; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal STHeiti; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> You can see the struggle, the ocean has grown tired of fighting off the temptress, who is created from Oil, Corruption, Reproduction and Pollution. The surfer is torn between his love for the temptress and his love for the ocean. He has fought many battles with his conscience and is beginning to take the side of the ocean. The mermaid is born from a barrel of oil. As she touches the water it is poisoned. The Latin phrase on the surfboard means: "Do not hand us over to a bitter death" and on the book: "Whom shall we seek as help?" </p></div> Mon, 08 Aug 2011 20:08:42 -0700 http://nathangibbsart.com/gallery-byzantine-betrayal-/the-betrayal-of-man.html http://nathangibbsart.com/gallery-byzantine-betrayal-/the-builder-and-the-corpora.html <div class="article-summary"><p style="text-align: center; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal STHeiti; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">2009 - Acrylic on Panel - $3100 - Free Shipping - Contact for Hi Res Image<br /> </p><p style="text-align: center; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal STHeiti; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal STHeiti; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br /></p></div> Mon, 08 Aug 2011 20:08:42 -0700 http://nathangibbsart.com/gallery-byzantine-betrayal-/the-builder-and-the-corpora.html http://nathangibbsart.com/gallery-byzantine-betrayal-/the-salt-the-salesman-and.html <div class="article-summary"><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: STHeiti; font-size: 14px;" class="Apple-style-span">2010 Acrylic on Panel 24" x 48" $3100 - Free Shipping - Contact for Hi Res Image</span><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: STHeiti; font-size: 14px;" class="Apple-style-span">The salesman wandered centuries before the problem. A millennia before the end. He sold to the solution to anyone who would buy. He held the key to a bright future for the planet and its residents. He gathered the forces of the sun and salt and pushed on. Resistance to his solution was great, but the fight would be worth the win. Infinite resource, infinite solution.</span></p></div> Mon, 08 Aug 2011 20:08:42 -0700 http://nathangibbsart.com/gallery-byzantine-betrayal-/the-salt-the-salesman-and.html
