From time to time I have showed you some art by artist Daniel Mitsui, who has a blog entitled The Lion and the Cardinal, an obvious Patristic reference which never fails to delight me.
I want to remind you of some of the fine things that he has relating to Lent and Easter.
I was looking again at the fine Crucifixion he did.
A glimpse.
A detail.
Another detail.
And another.
And there is a Resurrection.

But Father, but Father!!!
I don’t have the cash to get any of his work, why do you tempt me so??? :D
His work is breathtaking, amazing.
Pure greatness. I like the mitochondria-thingies in the crosses, and the general creepy-crawliness of the whole background. Good work, Mr. Mitsui.
I think all of his work is excellent. I hope to be able to buy some of his work eventually…
There’s something in how he fills in even the tiniest spaces in his artwork with detail that reminds me of M.C. Escher.
Art,
Good point, now that you mention it I see it too.
But Escher’s complexity and detail has a frightening element to it — its end is confusion, dissolution, chaos and death (I’m thinking of some of the peculiar humanoid creatures, and particularly the reflection in Escher’s self-portrait holding a glass globe). Something is missing. And Mr. Mitsui provides that missing element.
Hopefully I shall be able to afford to purchase one of his prints soon.
