John Cullinane’s work is drawn from media, books, stories and observed moments. He conjures an atmosphere, mise en scenes that are rich in feeling and narrative. Before his work viewers are compelled to ponder, allowing their mind to wind up, as the artist describes, “in a place that they would have never considered… “Hey, how did I get here?””.

In this luminous original oil painting, three angels commiserate in the countryside. A master of tone and composition, Cullinane paints the landscape in brilliant golds and greens, his angels arranged in a triangular configuration. What do they mourn? Have they, like the work’s title suggests, lost faith?

Represented at the National Gallery of Australia, Art Gallery of Western Australia, Parliament House as well as numerous tertiary and council galleries, Cullinane is a collectable artist. Inventive yet timeless, ‘A Loss of Faith’ is for collectors of contemporary and figurative art, as all as those listening for a message from an angel.
