Angel Numerology
6 september–20 oktober 2024
Angel Numerology is the new Konstdax public work that opens the next artistic program (2024-2026) at Konsthall C, Sacred Spaces, where artists reflect on spirituality, address questions of religion and society, and experiment with occultism.
During his residency at the Research Station, artist Mohammed Tatour produced a series of four large-scale paintings that respond to the Sacred Spaces theme, specifically recalling traces of esotericism from within the Islamic historical tradition.
His paintings depict winged creatures that invoke motifs of birds and angels in Sufi poetry and are encrypted with divine numerology, a sacred science where numbers contain signs and symbols from God. The works tell stories of encounters between angel-creatures that take place in the realms of heaven, hell, earth and beyond.
Mohammed Tatour´s paintings will be on display at the Konstdax public art commission located at David Helldéns torg in the center of Hökarängen from September 6th.
