Let There Be Light (this guy is on to something)

He Qi, a prominent Chinese painter, believes Christian art should be bright. "I read the first chapter of Genesis, the creation, and God says, 'Let there be light.' So God's creation is a very, very colorful world." This idea goes against the centuries-old tradition in Chinese academic art — minimalist still lifes and landscapes usually done in black ink on white paper.
















































































    
                                                                                                                            



Gideon and the Angel
David and King Saul
Jonah
Solomon's Judgement
Elijah and the Ravens

(Can you tell which biblical story is being represented by these brilliant pictures? I gave you an easy one first.)
