Jerusalem 3 is part of Anne Reid Artist’s Israel Series, capturing a moment suspended between heaven and earth. The artwork uses saturated blues, turquoise glazes, and pulses of magenta and gold to depict a layered city emerging through mist and memory. A faintly etched Star of David marks the spiritual threshold, glowing on a translucent path that suggests prayer, covenant, and inheritance.
In Reid’s signature abstract expressionist style, color does the heavy lifting. The brushwork dissolves architectural form into atmosphere, inviting the viewer to meditate on the unseen structure of Jerusalem — not as a city of stone, but as a realm of divine convergence.
The foreground light, where the star floats, carries a gentle but compelling weight. It's a place of recognition and crossing — a gate of presence and remembrance. Vertical strokes in the background hint at spiritual pillars, perhaps referencing the temple or prophetic vision. The city's edges blur into mystery, symbolizing eternity encroaching on the present.
Collectors and designers alike will appreciate how this piece elevates modern interiors. Pair with other works from the Israel Series or explore blog reflections like Heaven Through Hue for deeper insight into the visual language at play.
Design Note: This 36 x 64" print shines when set against a dark neutral like Gauntlet Gray, and is beautifully complemented by a warm mahogany floating frame. Ideal for sacred spaces, modern living rooms, or prayer alcoves.
