'With the Milk of a Gazelle, Isis with the head of Hathor heals Hoor's eyes on the Hooreyeson'
This is the first print available of Orryelle's new Colour works. Signed and numbered by the artist out of 77 copies only. Now available for $31 or equivalent in your currency.
The Ancient Egyptian text 'The Contendings of Horus and Seth' (Papyrus Chester Beatty I) tells a strange tale of the healing of Hoor/Horus' eyes by Isis after His epic battle with Set (who is depicted in the corresponding pages of Solve tearing out Horus' left eye). Where lay Horus' sundered eyes, Lotuses grew from mounds in the earth, and on these fed a Gazelle. Horus in His rage after battling Set, angered at Isis' compassion for His enemy, beheaded Her. However She immediately took the head of Hathor (His Lover, whereas Isis is His Mother), milked the Gazelle and with this healed Horus' eyes, which are traditionally associated with the Sun and the Moon, now blooming upon the crepuscular Horizon.
A tiny milky nerve-plexus lotus begins to grow in the back of His eye-socket, while a venomous scorpion echoes His own posture in the merging of apparent dualities with medicinal poisons. The swan-like Alchemical vessel with which She extracts the milk is echoed in the similarly semi-transparent segmented vessel of the scorpion's exoskeleton, through which runs a blood-red thread from sting-tail to red Set head. The lunar ritual involved in the creation and consecration of this work is a prayer for the healing and transformation of the Warrior spirit, an aspect of human nature that must be channelled and focused for the most positive ends, rather than denied or suppressed.
ESOTEROTICA GALLERY
The 'esoteric' is inner as opposed to 'exoteric', so the title may seem contradictory as erotica is generally associated with the physical body and its sexual expressions. But Orryelle depicts more than just the outer forms in their interactions - hir images show the inner kundalini fire which inspires such activity, and the spirits and phantasms which may emanate therefrom. This esoterotic Art is about the inter-play between the flesh and the spirit.
