It is a consecration, marking the moment the artist answered a divine call to ministry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePortrayed in his late thirties, with his hair in twists, the artist wears a hood that evokes both a medieval knight’s chainmail and an inner-city hoodie: protection for a world that is not always safe. Built over months in oil and wax, its jewel-like color and layered red glazes give the figure a radiance that expresses spiritual conviction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFragments of family images, personal history, and printed words invite meanings beyond a single reading. A gold-plated crucifix and rhinestone tie pins transform the canvas into something approaching a reliquary. These are not decorations. They are offerings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere, the artist’s art form, Abstractrealism, was born: a meeting of the real and the imagined, not a gap to be closed, but a threshold to be inhabited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginal work: oil, wax, mixed media, and found objects on canvas, 2002. Original canvas: 21.5 inches × 27 inches.
