God’s Love

Erik Jensen (1991 – )

Medium

United States
ca. 2022
49 × 29 × 1.5 in.
Acrylic on canvas

Jensen creates 84 canvases (referencing the twelve tribes of Israel represented over the seven seals of time) to symbolize all of humanity. Though each canvas might not fit perfectly against the neighboring canvases, there is beauty and variety in the whole. Individual canvases might have weaknesses, but there is gold in each one. Jensen’s work reminds viewers that despite individual differences, God’s children are united by their divine natures.

"He loves each and every one of us, and His gold shines through us, should we let it."
