Third Morning
Acrylic on panel
12" x 17"
SOLD

 

Mankind sleeps before the newly-opened tomb. The saviour of the world in the body of an Ibo tribesman stands stretching in the morning sun under his makeshift awning of human skin. Mary Magdalene is in the foreground, pale, heavy with loss, modest, feigning sleep. The tailless lion patrols restlessly . His physical strength and courage are of no avail here, this is a spiritual resurrection.
