The comtemporary version of the Crucifixion was painted by Harkrader in the early 1990's. An oil on canvas, 48"x48", a contemporary crucifixion with added biblical language that includes the Trinity. The angelic figure with the floating-fractured arm was modeled after a regional cemetery statue that sit on a family tombstone and also sports a broken right arm (minus the floating section). The wing of the Dove (Holy Spirit) curls around the head of Christ to form a halo and the chest of the Dove terminates into the eye of God (Father). A hole in the palm of Christ is testimony to the nail (now missing), all suspended above the red square (blood of Christ). The arm of the cross was foreshortened to allow the composition language. Color capsules float around the canvas, casting shadows & glowing, creating light and depth. The circular 3D hole in the cross forms a triangle that completes the whole composition. Available!
