"The Messiah's Nose." By Roshane Stephenson. 30x40 Oil on Canvas. I was asked to showcase artwork that commented on race and religion by a wiseman & friend named @aba.udofa for his upcoming conference for @divedeeporg . A while back I was given the vision for this painting from a verse by a rapper named Roc Marciano. The line was, "I'm not a racist, dipped the Jesus face in white gold. I know I know. That's not the Messiah's nose, he had wide nostrils." Roc made me think about the controversy and the commentary around the way Christ looks. One of the many things that deters people of color, specifically black people, from Christianity is the way Jesus is widely portrayed. There are those that believe that the images we see, especially in the relation to Catholicism, are false and also harmful. They view it as we are worshiping the oppressor, thus keeping them away from Christianity all together. I wanted to finally create a piece that sparks conversation and I hope this does just that.
