The different representations and symbolisms done in the artwork are truly gorgeous. The artists have delved into our emotions to evoke those things that are very though-provoking. Well done.

News flash for artist Young

Jesus wasn't some Anglo-white-Caucasian. He was a Galilean Jew who most likely resembled modern-day persons of Middle Eastern or Semitic descent.

Having lived in the middle east, I can tell you that I met many Jewish and Arabic people who had the most beautiful blue or green eyes, and even some with light hair and skin. Jewish and Arabic people,on the whole were some of the most attractive people I've met.

I was in Chris Young's high school art class. He was amazing then, and is amazing now. A really classy guy.

Good for you, Chris!

one more news flash...to the first, negative guy, chris isn't trying to tell anyone that Christ looked any particular way. no artist should. his painting is a representation, call it all symbolic if you need to. can't you just appreciate the remarkable work of the artist and be reminded of what the Savior did for you?
