"Expulsion at the Temple"

Mark 1:21-28 oil on canvas, 36x48”

Mark records a chilling scene in the temple at Capernaum. While Jesus was teaching from the law and the prophets, a man stood up and "cried out" in a voice that was not his own, Mark 1:24: "What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!" (25) "Be quiet!" said Jesus sternly. "Come out of him!" (26) The evil spirit shook the man violently and came out of him with a shriek.

I envision this event from within the man's metaphysical space. From this perspective, I can portray how terrifying Jesus must be to the agents of darkness. In the foreground, people stand diminished atop isolated columns, illustrating how separated from the world possessed individuals often feel. The cup, symbolizing Christ's sacrifice, is boldly displayed in full view of the condemned spirit. I depict a globulous, six-skulled void detaching from the man's soul (middle). Jesus stands confronting it, arm outstretched, repelling the foe. The interior of the Capernaum temple transitions into the astral plane of the man's inner space. Using a two-point perspective, I bend the temple structure to reveal both the entry (middle left) and the back wall (middle right), demonstrating the coexistence of multiple dimensions.
