Jewish Jesus Art Exhibit

Darrell Urban Black is an American visual artist originally from Brooklyn, New York who now lives and works in Frankfurt, Germany. His artworks have been exhibited in museums and contemporary art centers in Cyprus, Argentina, France, the UK, USA, Japan, Greece, Switzerland, Denmark, Russia and Australia. In April 2001, he was nominated for the German government prize for promising young artists. For the exhibition entitled "The Zeppelin in Art, Design, and Advertisement", held between May 11 and July 30, 2000, Darrell created "The Invasion." In the nomination letter, he was cited for his exceptional abilities in various art works. Another piece of art, referenced in the letter, was titled The Cosmic Linen, executed with a unique glue and acrylic on linen technique. The image was described as "universally appealing and representing a topic which concerns all of us - the universe." Darrell has expressed his interest in the JewishJesus art exhibit with these words: "I feel any exhibit attempting to bridge the divide between Christians and Jews, is a noble effort worthy of attention by visual artists of both faiths. And since Christians, share so many similarities and history with Jews, we should use the universal language of creativity to help start a conversation between our two great people, in an attempt to foster positive dialogue and hopefully mutual consensus. For example, my artwork titled Guardian of the Crypt shows an eternal flame in the middle protecting a Jewish and Christian crypt, my other artwork titled The Prophecy, has an angel of God holding a book written in Hebraic. For the exhibit Darrell proposes �to create a crest or seal of two images that intertwine to combine the two religious faiths together with an inscription of peace and unity that is written both in Hebrew and Latin.�
