NATIVITY
Nativity is a very significant Series in the production of the American artist John Vander.
Important large canvases totally dedicated to the theme of the birth celebrated by religion.
The poetics of this series of works are expressed through light, light in a broader sense: pictorial and spiritual.
"I started working on these paintings as if it were a "meditation on the nativity ".
I discovered, while I was painting, that I had to focus on light.
Light in the darkest season. Not only the natural season of the year, the winter solstice, but also spiritual light. Light as hope and redemption. Peace. "J.V.
