“She ONLY called HIM When She NEEDED Him” rare, unusual Jesus art – Kata Billups

TITLE : She ONLY called HIM When She NEEDED Him

ARTIST’S DESCRIPTION OF PAINTING: 

2nd pic of me directly in front of this painting to give it some scale

This scenario from my imagination shows Jesus in a purple robe and wearing His crown or thorns.

He is grimacing as he tightens a woman’s couture corset dress.

She is proudly bracing herself for the tugging on her garment and stands aloofly with her nose pointing straight up in the air.

This posture is a universal symbol of human pride. She sees this Jesus character in only one light (as her personal servant). Not as a character who has anything else to offer her in the way of insight or communion or wisdom….

The setting for this piece is one of the rooms of the White House. The woman is an aristocrat from my imagination. Her couture costume is from my imagination. I “designed” a ridiculous doughnut shaped dress for her and fur topped boots.
