Original Sin V2.0, 2020, acrylic on canvas, gold frame. 28 x 32.
thegapart.com | In Abrahamic religions, its followers have been taught that humans were “kicked out” of Eden for consuming the forbidden fruit. It is collectively believed that Eve disobeyed God by picking the fruit and then convinced Adam to eat it. In my opinion, this anecdote blamed Eve and subsequently on women in general. The painting, “Original Sin V2.0,” raises the question of how women’s history would have changed if Adam had picked the fruit and therefore a male was the one to blame?
