About: Rajesh Kumar Gogu is serving as Teaching Leader for New Delhi India EM class. He is a car designer by profession and is currently heading the design studio of India’s leading car manufacturer. Painting is his hobby. For him bringing blank canvas to life is not only a reflection of God’s image but also an act of worship.
The passion of Jesus Christ is one of his favourite subjects to paint. In this painting, he has tried to capture the arrest and trial of Jesus using Isaiah 53 as the base. The painting tries to capture the contrast between the wickedness of man and the mercy of God, the brutality versus the kindness, the guilty versus the Innocent and indifference versus Love.
