The Hem of His Garment by Jorge Cocco

About this Image:The composition is inside a web of intersecting diagonals and arches, expressing the public agitation produced when the Lord walked the streets from place to place. The two main figures capture the moment in which the woman touches the hem of his garment and Jesus turns and asks the question: Who touched me?About the Artist:JORGE COCCO SANTANGELO is a prolific artist born in Argentina. He also lived in Europe and Mexico for many years and now resides in the US. His award-winning paintings and sculptures have been exhibited and acquired around the world by museums, churches, governments and important private collectors. Cocco calls his new style of painting "sacrocubism" because of the sacred subject matter he paints and because he uses some elements of the art movement known as "cubism". Cocco's style appeals to the spiritual intellect by synthesizing objects to simple, geometric shapes allowing the observers to center their attention on the essential and most holy.
