This large original contemporary Christian oil painting of Jesus Christ is one in a short series of large religious works completed in my studio in Exeter. This oil painting took approximately two months to complete as layers of thin oil paint were glazed over dry areas for a luminous effect, especially around the halo. This work is a one-of-a kind unique oil painting with inspiration taken from orthodox icons and my own expressionist oil painting experience.

This painting is new, in that it is an original unsold work of art, but being an original painting there is obviously no original packaging etc.

All my paintings are original works, are signed and come with a certificate of authenticity. My early works often had edges that were unpainted and the techniques I used left areas of the canvas open.

Please note that my early works were stored at my studio and some may have scuff marks here and there. I try to photograph obvious marks but please zoom in on the photos to get a closer look at the work. Also, please check the photo of the back of the painting as unless stated there may or may not be hanging chords or hooks attached. As always, please feel free to contact me with any queries - John.
