Title: Artist’s Reflection: "And the Darkness Has Not Overcome Us"
Post by: Shin Maeng on January 29, 2018, 04:50 PM

Abstract:

This piece is called "And The Darkness Has Not Overcome Us". It is based on John 1:5. As I painted this piece. I wanted to point to the darkness that it is a very present reality. As well as the glowing regal-ness of the figure. She is black, tall, strong, wise and clothed by Christ. The darkness is all around but she will prevail. Just as Christ has prevailed over sin and death.

The full paper is attached to this post.

Indeed we are called to live the life of the kingdom on this side of heaven for we are his ambassadors.
