The Fomors - Unleashing the Powers of Evil upon the World
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this and enigmatic artwork titled "The Fomors (or The Powers of Evil Abroad in the World)" created by Scottish artist John Duncan in 1939, we are transported into a realm where myth and reality intertwine. This tempera painting, measuring 101.6x152.4 cm, is housed within the prestigious McManus gallery in Dundee, UK. Duncan's masterpiece delves deep into Celtic mythology, depicting the fearsome Fomorians - monstrous creatures embodying chaos and destruction. With their malevolent presence looming large over a darkened landscape, these mythical beings evoke an eerie sense of foreboding. As our gaze explores this mesmerizing composition, we encounter warriors battling against these formidable demons while sea creatures writhe beneath tumultuous waves. Symbolizing death, blight, drought, and all things evil that plague humanity throughout history. Duncan's artistic prowess shines through as he masterfully captures both the physicality and spiritual essence of these otherworldly entities. Through his brushstrokes and use of color palette dominated by shades of darkness and despair; he invites us to confront our deepest fears lurking within ourselves. "The Fomors" serves as a stark reminder that evil exists not only externally but also within each individual soul. It challenges us to reflect on how we navigate through life amidst adversity while reminding us that even amidst chaos there is always hope for redemption
