The Word Made Flesh Large Wall Art

The Word Made Flesh is not just a painting; its a visual hymn celebrating the profound mystery of the Incarnation. It artistically narrates how Christ, the only begotten of the Father, descended from celestial realms into our mortal world. This divine act, portrayed with poignant clarity, symbolizes His mission to heal the wounds, absolve the sins, and transform the decay inherent in a world estranged from its Creator.

In this piece, the central figure of Christ is rendered with a masterful application of tenebrism, a technique that breathes life into the canvas through stark contrasts between light and dark. This striking interplay of shadows and luminescence is more than a mere stylistic choice; its a visual metaphor for Christs journey. It eloquently depicts how He steps into the depths of human despair and, with His presence, ushers in an era of divine glory and grace.

The painting exudes a sense of sanctity and awe, reminiscent of the works of the Dutch masters. The skillful use of flake white in the underpainting lays the foundation for a remarkably lifelike representation of skin. Upon this base, delicate glazes are meticulously layered, each stroke adding depth, warmth, and an almost tangible realism to the figure of Christ. Its a technical triumph that serves a higher purpose: to illustrate how the light of the divine penetrates and transforms the mundane.

Every brushstroke in The Word Made Flesh is a testament to the artists devotion and skill, marrying the sacred narrative with technical prowess. The painting invites viewers not just to observe, but to partake in a moment of divine intervention, where the eternal Word becomes flesh, and in doing so, brings enlightenment and beauty to all who open their hearts to its message.

Reproduced from the artists original artwork of oil on canvas.

Based in Saratoga Springs, Utah, Jordan is an atheist turned Christian oil painter, whose artistic voice found form and substance within an unexpected spiritual journey. 

Previously working known by the pseudonym J. Art Fox, Jordan initially painted figurative art and wildlife. While these oil paintings on collages were aesthetically pleasing, they lacked narrative direction and conviction, and ultimately left Jordan with an imperative sense of creating art that could convey more emotional depth and meaning.

Then, in 2022, the trajectory of Jordan's life and art took an extraordinary turn. A sequence of life-altering experiences challenged his Darwinian, materialist worldview, and ignited a spiritual transformation, leading to a conviction in the truth of Christ. As his faith deepened, it began to infuse his art, guiding his brush strokes towards a harmonious blend of the personal spiritual journey and biblical narratives.

Today, Jordan’s mission is driven by an unwavering clarity: to inspire faith in Christ through art that masterfully blends Christian teaching with the oil painting tradition. He aspires to create work that resonates deeply, sparking spiritual curiosity, and inviting others onto their own transformative journey towards Christ.
