Leviathan

Leviathan is part of the Up-Cycled collection.

Leviathan and Behemoth are two cupboard doors with pouring paints applied into the inset panel in contrasting colours.

The door itself has been filled and glossed white to resemble a frame, and the inner panel is filled with poured paint.

Samuel has used green and blue tones with black in Leviathan, whereas Behemoth uses red and gold tones with white.

The names Leviathan and Behemoth come from beasts mentioned in the Book of Job in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament.

The contrast in colours between the two artworks led Samuel down the path of Chaos and Calm.

"Both are of Babylonian origin, where they are creatures of the primal Chaos, Behemoth of the Earth and male, Leviathan of the Ocean Deep and female."
