"Angels 4" by Anne Reid Artist brings together the disciplines of prophetic art and abstract expressionism in a work that speaks to those attuned to the invisible. Rendered in rich, layered hues of cobalt, turquoise, and indigo, the figures appear both clothed in mystery and grounded in purpose. Each face is a sphere of light—suggestive of identity without individualism, presence without performance. Their posture is still, yet the strokes suggest motion: guardians advancing through a thin veil between realms.
This piece fits within Reid’s larger exploration of celestial messengers and spiritual thresholds. Unlike figurative depictions of angels that dominate Western sacred art, these beings are diffuse and suggestive, conveyed through pure colour and energy rather than anatomy. The composition resists hierarchy; no single angel dominates. They stand as equals—silent witnesses, perhaps sentinels—embedded within the unseen order of the cosmos.
The night sky above them, punctuated with small white stars, reinforces their cosmic context. They are not bound to earthly gravity but suspended in divine assignment. The viewer is invited not merely to observe but to enter the atmosphere of the painting, to discern through contemplation rather than analysis.
Collectors who seek work that stirs the spirit while refining a space will find “Angels 4” both compelling and comforting. Its ethereal quality makes it suitable for rooms designed for quiet, listening, or rest—prayer spaces, libraries, lobbies, or spiritual retreats. It is a meditation in pigment and presence.
