Reflection on the Drawing

a couple of weeks ago via our Christian art account on Instagram, the artist of this drawing, Craig, contacted me. He conveniently pointed out this drawing which he had just complete during Holy Week in lockdown. He conveniently stated that drawing become his interest. i was drawn in by the drawing, its intricacy, its elegance and distinct degree of execution. when we bought chatting, he told me that this turned into his very first drawing of Christ, as constantly he attracts photographs of celebrities. For a very first attempt at drawing Christ, I do feel here's an attractive miraculous accomplishment. Christ's eyes, the nails, the wood texture of the pass, the blood, the Roman soldier's sandals…

The drawing illustrates beautifully what pain, torture and horrendous loss of life Jesus went through… for inquisitive about us. almost immediately earlier than being crucified, He left us with the beautiful prayer we will study in our Gospel of nowadays. within the face of loss of life, He nevertheless idea of us first… The intimate prayer to His Father today is reminder of His love for us and Christ' desire for us to be forever with Him at some point…

I often now analyze this drawing. It has turn into an artwork that i will be able to associate with this time of lockdown. The artist kindly shared with me (and i asked permission from him if I could share this with you) some very own feedback as well about this work. Craig suffers from agoraphobia, a kind of nervousness sickness in which you concern public places, opens areas and people gathering. He said that the Covid-19 lockdown for him turned into nothing ordinary, as he feels he is in everlasting lockdown at domestic on account of his circumstance… Drawing for him is a means to talk to the backyard world, the place he is afraid to assignment now and then. paintings as a bridge to the backyard world obtainable; however also artwork as a bridge to the secret of his own indoors world, the place during Holy Week he was inspired to create this pleasing artwork of Christ being crucified.
