Red is the Color of Stigmata 2 Print - Limited Edition of 1

Icons and religious paintings are flat works of art, but some transcend art and inherently contain a power that forces the viewer to receive an experience of great power that is simply unexplainable. God looks out at his creation through the painting being created, and God not only looks out, but also communicates Himself. The artists is merely a paintbrush of the divine force. And for the human aspect of creation, there is but one holy story that repeats itself again and again, even as the artist's pregnant wife bears witness to his wounds, the sign of stigmata, the sign that God is at work in something, which makes the painting not made by hand any longer, but a powerful relic of God's act of acheiropoeita. Likewise, the photograph has become a work of acheiropoieta. The idea that the artist or the photographer have made or created anything is pure illusion, no matter how firmly each may believe in the power of their own talents. Again, even such talent is merely more evidence of acheiropoeita, all around us, all the time, in things seen and not seen.
