Images On Christ Project by Daneil Bonnell

Patrons

"Bonnell's paintings have an immediacy. Even looking at them on the computer screen they sort of get into the room with you."

Paul Charman, Writer/Poet

"Seeing Bonnell's work on a magazine cover moved me to actually see the scripture come alive. I knew then that I had to have one of his paintings, and this was a miracle, because I had never owned an original piece of art work in my life. His painting is now the focal point of our home."

John Parish, College Professor

"Just like I know in my heart that Christ's word is truth I also know that Daniel's colors and light on canvas are true visions of what he sees of Christ."

Finn Torjesen, Executive Director, Evergreen Family Friendship Service

One doesn't just look at Images on Christ. The viewer steps into a spiritual world and is changed in the process.

St Paul's Cathedral in London hosted this exhibition in July 2004 of ten gospel paintings never before shown in the UK by the US artist Daniel Bonnell.

"Daniel Bonnell's work is not only striking and beautiful, it also has depth and resonance. Like much art through the centuries, he draws on the inspiration of the Gospels, that somehow brings out not only deep roots but also contemporary impact, that is only right and proper with good art. I personally find I am both moved and inspired by his paintings."

Garth Hewitt, British Recording Artist and Ordained Anglican Priest

"Really amazing"

Clive Burr, Original Drummer for the British Heavy Metal Band IRON MAIDEN

"Your painting of the Baptism of the Christ continues to decorate our Cathedral in Jerusalem. I personally like it, especially the way Jesus comes out from the water almost similar to His rising again from the grave. No wonder we Christians emphasize Baptism as a sign of dying and rising. You may depend on me as a friend and as a supporter and if you wish me to be on your patron list, I count it a privilege."

Anglican Bishop of Jerusalem

"My Bonnell hangs in the most important place in my living room, every day I see something I had not seen before. The painting grows inside me every day."

Steve Starr, Pulitzer Prize Winner

"Hayden-Hays Gallery is proud to represent the artist, Daniel Bonnell. He is a very dedicated, accomplished artist. Bonnell's work reflects his respect of the great masters."

Hayden-Hays Gallery at the Broadmoor

"An active and eager collector of Daniel Bonnell's art, I find his work deeply spiritual. His use of color, light and feeling is not only beautiful and emotive, but also inspired. His art takes one to a deeper dimension!"

The Revd. Paul-Gordon Chandler, Anglican Priest

"Each of Bonnell's fine art prints is a moving message that draws the observer right into the scene in a profound manner and causes you to pause and want to spend time just experiencing it. There is no way to take it lightly."

Richard M. Lieberman, Retired Air Force and Eastern Airlines Pilot
