About the creation
The Nineteen Diaspora Paintings: Cain and Abel
Artist name: Rand Archie
A contemporary urban murder scene shows Abel’s body, covered with a white sheet being examined by a coroner. Cain clenches his fists as he is held back by a policeman, while Abel’s wife weeps on the shoulder of another officer. Meanwhile a crime photographer takes a picture of the scene. In the upper left corner appears the biblical verse”The voice of your brother’s blood is screaming to Me from the ground”.
