Acrylic on Gallery Stretched Canvas. Original 36" x 60"
Original sold, but Giclée Fine Art Reproductions available.
The Road to Emmaus, like many of my paintings, became something I hadn't expected. I thought it would be entirely abstract, when commissioned by the ELCA for their Rostered Ministers Gathering. Instead, it became a combination of abstract and representational. It became what it needed to be to tell the story of loss, human grief, our journeys and the promise embodied in Jesus' resurrection.
I prepared by immersing myself in different versions of the text, reading sermons, asking clergy friends their take on it and listening to music. I found a choral piece about the Road to Emmaus called "Abendlied" by Josef Rheinberger and used it for inspiration. Choral music is a creative trigger for me. I have had two exhibits now that interpret choral music, Buxtehude's "Membra Jesu Nostri" and Arvo Pårt's "Magificat Antiphonen & Nunc Dimittis. I have also interpreted "O Magnum Mysterium" by Lauridsen, one of my favorites. The Road to Emmaus measures 36" x 60" and is painted with acrylic on gallery stretched canvas. The ELCA has purchased the original, but Limited Edition canvas or paper giclées (fine art prints) are available for purchase.
8 x 13-3/8" Paper Giclée $85 (Needs to be matted and framed to protect. Sales tax and S&H are included in the price.)
12 x 20" Canvas Giclée $245 (Can hang as is or framed. Sales tax and S&H are included in the price.)
36" x 60" Canvas Giclée (Price TBD)
