Monotype From the Crucified Series by Ray Turner: By His Stripes, Framed

No face at all this time. Only color, and marks that do not fade.

This framed monotype, By His Stripes, comes from the Crucified Series by Ray Turner and is dated 4-29-2014. The title echoes a line from the Book of Isaiah, long read by Christians as a reference to the suffering of Christ. A black vertical band divides the image, flanked by bars of magenta bleeding out to the left and blocks of bright yellow to the right. White strokes run down it like cords, and a pale twist of line crosses at the top. Twenty-seven inches wide and 29.5 high.

It is the brightest image in the series and in some ways the hardest to look at.
