With The Resurrection, Peter Maier reframes the concept of sanctity through a lens of cultural transcendence. Rendered in his signature Axalta automotive paint, this radiant work fuses divine iconography with modern legends, recasting figures like Jimi Hendrix not as musicians alone, but as mythic vessels of transformation.
A golden aura emanates from the canvas, both literal and symbolic. The halos are not ironic—they are reverent. In this layered composition, resurrection is not only spiritual; it’s cultural, emotional, and artistic. Maier invites us to consider what it means to rise through legacy, memory, and the unapologetic blaze of individuality.
The result is less a portrait and more a visual gospel: a testament to the souls who shaped the soundtrack of resistance and the palette of progress.
