The second piece in this Easter duo is called "Flowering Chi Rho" and represents Christ in all his resurrection and life! I've thought a lot about the contrast of death and life, that thorny crown and the new blooms of spring. I've read that lily of the valley represents purity and humility, and that when handed to another, it communicates that the recipient is incomplete without the giver. This flower is seen at the top of the Chi Rho. // I have decided to offer this piece and the previous one as prints, due to several requests. Please comment below if you're interested. // Flowering Chi Rho. 8x10: $28. // 11x14: $42.
Over the past few years I've had the opportunity to create art for our church, and the various projects always form a new lens through which I am able to see Christ, and a new appreciation for the rich visual content of church history. I've found application for church architecture, iconography, Greek alphabet, and so on to be integrated into the art. This year's Easter sermon series is titled "Rejected • Wounded • Exalted" and the art concept is centered on two contrasting depictions of the Chi Rho--the Greek symbol for Christ. This first piece is called "Wounded Chi Rho" and seeks to communicate the starkness of Christ in his humanity, falling down to earth for us, and rejected and bleeding. I'm praying that I'll be mindful of this truth these coming weeks. // I have decided to offer this piece and the following one as prints, due to several requests.
