John the Apostle and The Book of the Seven Seals
(Juan El Apóstol y El Libro de los Siete Sellos)
Clara Morera
2024
mixed media on canvas
42 x 28 3/4 inches
AVAILABLE
Provenance:
Acquired directly from the artist.
To be illustrated in the upcoming catalog
IMPORTANT CUBAN ARTWORKS, Volume Twenty-One,
Cernuda Arte, Coral Gables, Florida, December 2024.
Clara Morera’s works deal with a broad spectrum of myth,
ritual, literature, social causes, faith, and culture.
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the
artist has been occupied with her Revelations series,
which seeks to connect modern life and current events
to the apocalyptic text of The Book of Revelation.
Morera’s John the Apostle and The Book of the Seven Seals,
2024, is based on Revelation 10:8-10, which describes the
prophet John being instructed by an angel to eat a scroll
with seven seals on it, each seal corresponding to a
catastrophic event. The scroll John eats is sweet to
the taste but bitter to the stomach. The enigmatic
act of eating the scroll symbolizes the metaphorical
act of internalizing, understanding its message, and
making it a part of oneself, despite its potentially
bitter or difficult content. In the context of today’s
information age, "consuming the scroll" signifies
accepting the constant news about a world in crisis,
even if when it is difficult or uncomfortable to confront.
In John the Apostle and The Book of the Seven Seals
(2024), John is depicted flanked by angels amidst a
backdrop of war and disaster. With his hands raised
towards the sky, John reconciles with these harsh
realities, embodying a pursuit of peace amidst the
hard truths of existence.

Apostroph' Apocalypse [#6626]
Wifredo Lam (Lithographs)
1967
acquatint on Japanese paper
20 x 31 1/2 inches
AVAILABLE
Illustrated in Wifredo Lam: Oeuvre Gravé et
Lithographié, Catalogue Raisonné, Musée de
Gravelines, France, 1993, page 91, no. 6626.
Illustrated in IMPORTANT CUBAN ARTWORKS, Volume
Twenty, Cernuda Arte, Coral Gables, Florida, 2023, page 37.
Wifredo Lam's remarkable suite of prints,
Apostroph'Apocalypse, exemplifies his most
audacious printmaking work.
The series was conceived as an art book,
created in collaboration with the avant-garde
writer Gherasim Luca during the mid-1960s,
amid rising global nuclear tensions.
Lam’s draftsmanship reached new heights, reimagining
his iconic human-horse hybrids as weaponized phantoms
soaring through negative space – sensuous, vivid, and
surreal. Beyond the mere assuredness of the line, works
from this series have an uncanny texture and color.
The distinctive shades are the product of a technique
created by Wifredo Lam in collaboration with renowned
printmaker Giorgio Upiglio in Milan, which allowed Lam to
draw directly on plates coated with powdered pigment.
Only 25 copies of Lam's hand-signed and numbered
prints from this series, produced on Japanese paper,
exist. These individually signed and numbered Japanese
paper editions have become among the artist’s most
coveted prints. Lam's 14 plates from Apostroph’Apocalypse,
executed in a bold and experimental process, have graced
esteemed institutions like the Centre Pompidou Paris;
National Library, Paris; Nationalmuseum, Stockholm;
Villa Medici, Rome; Palazzo della Permanente, Milan;
Yokohoma Museum of Art, Yokohama, Japan; Fine Arts
Central Academy, Beijing; Institute of Fine Arts, Hong Kong;
Palais des Beaux-Arts, Brussels; Fundació La Caixa, Barcelona;
Musée du dessin et de l’estampe Original, Gravelines, France;
and the Asian Art Archives, among many others.
