He is Risen

Description

Why is it that Jesus is always represented as a Girly Man in so much "Christian" imagery? I wanted to portray him as a more of a Superman than a bearded woman as in the famous Werner Salman images. This piece is also inspired by Mark Wallinger's "Ecce Homo" statue.

"Art with a Difference
If you are a Christian, don’t be ashamed of it. Work out of the fullness of your
being and give the best you have. You can never be better than you are. Be ashamed to be
less, but you fall into pride and foolishness if you want to be more. This means do not be
afraid. Live out your freedom. Do not let this be spoiled by your sinfulness. Sin takes
freedom away. Walk in his way, yes, but this must be done out of your own convictions,
out of your own understanding, in love and freedom. It is never just the application of
some rules, some do’s and some don’ts. It is more real, more honest. It should be a
commitment." - H.R. Rookmaaker from "Art Needs No Justifacation"

As our church's Youth leader once mentioned, He was a carpenter, experienced with wood and heavy things. He would be quite muscular.
