Article Excerpt

For the past few weeks, I have had the privilege of hosting an awesome guest. Brian Manley is a Professor of Art at Andrews University. For the past few years, he has participated in Archaeological digs in Jordan. As a professional painter, Brian gathers source materials from dig sites, along with narratives from researchers and archaeologists to visually reconstruct a dig site. In an age of growing interest in modern art devoid of craft or message, it is refreshing to find an artist that validates the need for realistic paintings. (Nothing wrong with modern art…it’s just nice to see a place for realism.)
