ABEL BODIED
Anthony Gayton, Photographer
Risqué is deeply moved by “The Death of Abel”. The disturbing photo exhibits a beautiful young lifeless Abel, lying partially on his back with a fleshy drape spilling from between his legs on to the ground as if it were his life force. His arms are drawn back in a relaxed fashion of death while his face shows no expression… only as if asleep. Anthony Gayton does like to “Challenge perceptions of the real and invent truths by telling convincing lies” and certainly leads the viewer down this path making you believe that this is actually Abel. And, one can see that the subject in the photograph is of more contemporary nature than would have been at the mythos of the beginning of mankind, being Adam and (St)Eve’s child.
After a tear fell into his wine glass, Risqué thought “Who could possibly slay such beauty acceptable to God (and Risqué). Of course…it was Cain…or not!”
Risqué wonders… “Where Abel got the fleshy drape?”
