Exodus - an oil on canvas religious painting has been ceremonially inaugurated in the church of Saint Meinard in Indiana last Friday, october the 13th, 2006. Exodus is a painting of the Israelites crossing the Red Sea on their way to Ca na'an as written in the Old Testament.
Eyob used his unique brush stroke and composition skills he acquired from his exposure to traditional ethiopian art. This painting is part of the series of paintings for the Ark of the Covenant project in 2005. In this project, Eyob will be blending traditional ethiopian art with modern art. Many researchers have studied and written about the mystery and story of the Ark of the Covenant and Eyob will be trying to discover it with art - to discover the invisible.
Graham Hancock has written a best selling book- The Sign and the Seal on the mystery of the Ark of the Covenant and its history in the ancient Ethiopian Orthodox Church.
Other paintings of the Ark of the Covenant series can be seen in religious paintings and religious drawings.
I really love your works. you have an extraordinary talent. Keep it up
ReplyDeleteYour work hanging in the Lalibella Restaurant has made me smile each and every time that I take my mother, Evelyn, to have dinner there. We lived in Eritrea in the mid-60's. I graduated from High School in Asmara, and am so happy to have traveled to many of the wonders of Ethiopia depicted in your work. That is why your work makes me smile so very much. This has been fun today viewing so much more. Keep up the great work! Many blessing to you,
