He Qi anyone?



The image posted above (The Lord Reigns) is by He Qi and I have loved his art for a very long time. Below is some more info on the who and what concerning the artist. Take a few minutes to look at his fantastic artwork.


"Dr. He Qi
17 Da Jian Ying Xiang
Nanjing, CHINA, 210029



please check He Qi's website: www.heqiarts.com

Dr. He Qi is a professor at the Nanjing Union Theological Seminary and a tutor for master candidate students in the Philosophy Department of Nanjing University. He is also a member of the China Art Association and a council member of the Asian Christian Art Association. He has been committed to the artistic creation of modern Chinese Christian Art for more then twelve years. He hopes to help change the "foreign image" of Christianity in China by using artistic language, and at the same time, to supplement Chinese Art the way Buddhist art did in ancient times. In his works, He Qi has blended together Chinese folk customs and traditional Chinese painting techniques with the western painting art of the Middle and Modern Ages, and has created an artistic style of color-on-paper painting."

He Qi's work has a way of delivering an iconic value by expressing the story of scripture by a colorful and fresh approach. Enjoy!

Thanks for the gorgeous art! Why should Christian art be filled with white faces and western european culture, indeed. Historical Jesus was, after all, North African. :)

Pinks,
My sentiment exactly. When teaching groups of children on a particular Bible story, I try to find unique and striking artwork that helps "tell" the story. He Qi is one of my favorites!

St. Brigid Blessings on the Threshold

In preparation for St. Brigid’s day, I consider the blessings that are with us on the threshold.  What are the blessings, neither at the beginning or end, but in the middle.  In transitional spaces that take up most of our days? I think that the threshold can be a space of healing. An opportunity to see things in a new way. A river that takes us to new places of grace. May you feel the presence of love in your thresholds. May it flow from all our beginnings through to each end. May the space of threshold be a balm like lavender, healing our battle wounds. May we find healing in the inbetween. Healing lives on the threshold. #blessings #stbrigid #taralamontart
