Transfiguration
Acrylic on panel
16.5" x 19"
SOLD

 

Christ took Peter, John and James up the mountain to reveal his true divine self to them. As usual the disciples were dopey, sceptical and slow to identify revelation. In the Bible version, Jesus becomes brilliantly white but partly because paint cannot convey brilliance except by illusion and partly as a gentle and well-meaning subversion, I've shown him instead as a dynamic black man in boxer shorts. For the record, "A Cat may look at a King".
