Matthew 4:10 “Then saith Jesus unto Him, Get thee hence,
Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only
shalt thou serve.”



The figure of Lucifer in the Gib Singleton sculpture appears
much like a gargoyle in the traditional depictions from architectural
sculpture. The gargoyle has been traditionally placed on buildings to guard
from evil. They wait and perch for when they should take action. In contrast,
Lucifer is the embodiment of evil. He is waiting like the gargoyle but for
different reasons. Collector Dr. Wayne Yakes inspired Singleton to create this
highly unusual sculpture. Yakes envisioned Satan as one who is bored and uninterested. This is the ultimate curse. Satan is forever
separated from God and what is left? Nothing is left. Existence is forever
meaningless, nothing makes sense, and all of this is wrapped up into this
Singleton sculpture.



“Fallen Angle depicts Lucifer or Satan in the artistic
tradition of Gustave Dore’s illustrations in Paradise Lost or Jean-Jacques
Feuchere’s sculpture in the Louvre. He’s in the pose like Auguste Rodin’s ‘The
Thinker’ because he’s trying to figure out how he got to be King of the bad
people. He loved God, and was His number one angel- ‘the brightest in the sky’-
until he overreached himself and was cast down to rule the evil side. I think
he probably got that job because he was pretty good at it.” – Gib Singleton
