Christian Modern Art Is An Expression Of Faith

By Eric Jimenez


It can evoke many emotions, whether abstract or face of Jesus. The artist may define it as a tangible expression of faith. In any case, Christian Modern Art is beautiful, calming and inspires many Christians to pray and follow their belief in God.

Renderings of the Savior are a popular topic for the leading Christian artists. Thomas Kinkade is one who paints with deep feeling. Collectors buy his work more often than that of any other Christian artist.

Jesus is usually painted with a deep intensity of emotion expressed in His eyes. There are renditions of Him hung on the cross. They may show Him clearly or in the abstract. Many are of the cross alone in all colors and distorted shapes. For example, one shows it in small blue squares and rectangles. Behind the cross is a backdrop of small red rectangles and squares.

There are gold crosses outlined in blue and on wildly colored backgrounds. Jesus is shown in various poses. He is depicted in red on a black or multicolored background. The sorrow is apparent in his body language on these.

The words of various bible verses are done in patterns of all kinds. They may be sad and monotone or bright cheery messages of hope. People can find one of these showing a favorite verse from the bible.

Angels are always a favored figure in Christian paintings and on Christmas trees. They are beautiful and glowing, in pristine white robes with halos on their heads. Others are shown helping people to carry heavy burdens throughout difficult journeys. They sometimes are shown as caricatures from childrens stories.

The abstracts are painted in an amazing blast of colors, or as stylized flowers growing upward towards the heavens. There are dark, solemn paintings that claim to express the sorrow of Jesus dying on the cross. Each of these two kinds are a personal interpretation from the perspective of each artist.

Each abstract can take on different meaning to each who sees it. Colorful circles and other patterns may mean the circle of life to some. Others perceive all the circular patterns as symbols of eternity or heaven.

The secular abstracts created by Jackson Pollock are popular. The religious abstracts are seen in many homes, both as religious symbols and beautiful art. One Christian artist, Mark Lawrence, creates paintings using a unique digital method. He calls this lovely medium painting with light.
