About this artwork

'Keter' is the last in the Sephirot series. This is a large painting and always one who struggles mightily to resolve a work, I found no struggle here with the central orb in this work and completed it (without any later urge to make changes) in a single day. Not true, however, for the landscape portals on either side which proved almost to be the death of me - these had to be exactly right so as to maintain the balance and complete the supreme sense… of realness this work projects. We cannot portray the face of God because God is infinite, but we can attempt to convey each of God's 10 emanations - the Sephirot. Keter is the crown and sits at the top of the Tree of Life. I see it as akin to the crown chakra achieved through meditation as well as Moses' encounter with the Burning Bush.

Sandy Sokoloff (b. Brooklyn, NY 1944) attended Queens College, CUNY before enrolling at Boston University School of Fine Arts. He received a BFA in 1966, attended Skowhegan School of Painting and Drawing (1968) and received an MFA in Painting, 1969. He taught at Wellesley College (1969-76); Tanglewood Institute (1971); Boston University (1977-78); Art Institute of Boston (1979-80). He had residencies at MacDowell Colony (1973, 1980) and extensive exhibitions in New York and Boston beginning in 1973 and culminating in 1993 when he reached a spiritual and artistic impasse. After a twenty-year hiatus, he deepened his investigation into the spiritual nature of art. By 2019 he had produced the ‘Sephirot’ series which extrapolates the imagery of ancient Judaic mysticism. During the COVID pandemic he produced the ‘Archangels’ series (2019), ‘Prophets’ series (2020) and the ‘Light from the Lighthouse’) series (2020-21). He began his current Oculus ('Eye of God’) series in 2022.
