Easter Sunday falls on the first of April this year, so, I have selected four images of the Resurrection by international artists in very different styles as this month's new art offerings from the Sacred Art Pilgrim Collection. American Artist Edward Medina gives us a three-color giclee print of a burial-shroud concealing variation on Michelangelo's famous black chalk drawing from around 1532 of the nude Resurrected Christ from the British Royal Collection. The scene is set in what appears to be the American Southwest where the first rays of the rising sun on Easter morning cast shadows across a rugged landscape. Indian Painter Aatmica Ojha offers us a kaleidoscopic-colored abstract expressionist image of Christ risen from the grave (left), whose outline takes form from paint dripped directly on the canvas in the style of American Modernist Jackson Pollock. We see the influence of the 20th century Dutch Abstract Painter, Piet Mondrian, in the grid-like geometry of American Artist Sidney Jonas Budnick's painting of the Resurrected Christ in the Lenten-Good Friday-Easter liturgical colors of purple, black, and yellow. You can just make out the mark of a nail as evidence of the Crucifixion in Christ's right hand, raised in blessing. The last of the four new artworks is a contemporary icon of the Resurrection by Ukrainian Greek Catholic Artist Natalya Rusetska. The image of Christ bursting out of the tomb is a theme taken from Latin Christian art. His ethereal, elongated body evokes the mysticism and mystery of Eastern Orthodox theology. The quartet of Easter Sunday images can be found in The Empty Tomb page of The Resurrection of Christ gallery of The Life of Christ section. Christ is risen! He is risen, indeed! (John Kohan)
