Produktbeschreibung
The Artistry of Christ in Nine Faces James Tughan asks us to consider the idea that Jesus was first an artist before He was anything else. The premise of this book in its art and its words is that in all His interactions with His creation, and the persons in it, in all our successes and failures, His artistry is clearly evident. However it is previously unlimited artistry that not only is humbled within human limitation, but which passes through the experience of trauma. The biblical story is one of overcoming it to reinvigorate the creation and artistry itself. James walks the reader through the artistry of his narrative drawing series, Nine Faces of Christ, and its creation to ask us to reconsider artistry as a relational phenomenon, experienced in our contact with the original Artist, Jesus.
Autorenporträt

This work celebrates attachment to visible surfaces of the northern Ontario wilderness but additionally with the less visible human psyche, through a careful use of metaphor. He is also an extensively published artist having had his work appear magazines such as Rolling Stone, GQ, House and Garden, Saturday Night, Financial Post Magazine, and Atlantic Monthly. As an art educator he is a past-serving member of the art faculties of Sheridan University, Redeemer University College and Tyndale Seminary and College. More recently he has been drawn into the world of poetry, through the need to to articulate more directly certain aspects of the world of persons, the world of spirit, both in terms of lament and of celebration. He is the founder of The Semaphore Fellowship and co-founder of the Flagship Gallery, Hamilton and its first born The Portage Art Group, a small collective of Ontario artists focused on mental health and the Arts. He is currently studying the intersection of theology, psychology, and artistry at McMaster Divinity College in the MTS/DPT program, where he is also the current artist in residence.
