Chains and Flames: Mark Gibbons’s Concepts

THE SHORT VERSION

Mark Gibbons distinguishes the crusading Templars from the monastic Dark Angels through weapons manacled to their wielders, flames and lanterns. Repeated visual motifs survive successive concept sketches and become more elaborate on the leading characters. For Helbrecht and Grimaldus, the process comes full circle as Gibbons later illustrates the completed sculptures. His account shows a coherent set of symbolic ideas guiding the entire range.
