The Ninth Gate-The Witch-watercolor, color pencil,42x29.7cm, 第九道門-魔女, 水彩、帶針筆、 色鉛筆、水彩紙

Inspired by the movie "The Ninth Gate," the story follows a demonologist who hires an antique book dealer to find a copy of "The Nine Gates to the Kingdom of Shadows," written by Satan. The book contains nine engravings revealing how to unlock the Devil's portal.  The painting depicts a crucial scene—the ninth engraving—showing the Devil's castle on fire, a witch riding a seven-headed demon, and a mysterious crescent moon in the sky. In the film, the protagonist completes tasks guided by the witch and enters the Devil's portal. In the painting, the witch gazes at the viewer, beckoning, "Come, I'll lead you into the Devil's portal."

靈感來自電影《第九道門》，故事講述一位魔鬼研究者僱用了古董書商來尋找撒旦所寫的《幽暗王國的九扇門》的副本。 這本書包含九張繪畫，這些繪畫為解碼如何打開魔鬼之門提供了線索。這幅畫是關於關鍵的畫面—第九幅畫，魔鬼城堡著火了，魔女騎在七頭怪物身上，神秘弦月掛高空。 電影中，男主角在魔女的引領下完成所有任務，進入魔鬼之門。在畫中，魔女盯著觀眾說：「來吧，我帶你進入魔鬼之門。」。查詢或購買請電郵info@1874artgallery.com。
