Ecce Homo Presented to the Crowd Painting by Tiago Azevedo

Ecce Homo Presented to the Crowd Painting by TiagoAzevedo

 

Ecce Homo is a depiction of the flagellated Christ presented to the masses by Pontius Pilate, whose visage, at the upper left, is a study of disdainful indifference. Restrained by ropes, his face bowed in gentle acceptance of his fate. Christ's nude body contorted with a physically impossible but not inelegant torsion is bathed in a golden light.

 

Consistent with the spiritually instructive goals of ecclesiastical art of the Counter-Reformation, everything in this painting is intended to heighten its emotional charge and to underline especially the contrast between the noble pathos of Christ's suffering and the black background which also informs the compositional structure don in a pop surrealist way. There is no illusion of deeply receding space in an atmosphere of dramatic emotionalism and expansive theatricality with a soft, light brushstroke. 

 

The concept of the Christ in Christianity originated from the concept of the messiah in Judaism. Christians believe that Jesus is the messiah foretold in the Hebrew Bible and the Christian Old Testament.

Kris Jenner and the Tale of the Influencers Paintingby Tiago Azevedo

This painting of Kris Jenner aims to capture the ethereal beauty of this pop culture icon in a way that also emphasizes her royalty as an influencer and also reflect on what our celebrity references are these days.

Here she is portrayed almost like a baroque religious figure where her intense look contrasts with the harsh black background where her face is done in a pop surrealist style. She also has a serene gaze that invites the viewers to know more about her.

Kris is a television personality who rose to fame for starring in the reality television series Keeping Up with the Kardashians together with her family. She runs her own production company and has managed her daughter Kim’s career that has skyrocketed in the last decade.
