Att våga förnya för att förmedla : Förnyandet av den moderna sakrala konsten sett ur tre konstverks uppkomst tagna från konstprojektet "Kyrkorummet" / To have the courage to renew in order to communicate : The renewal of the modern sacred art seen through the creation of three works of art from the art project "Kyrkorummet"

In this essay the renewal of the modern sacred art has been examined through the creation of three works of art from the art project “Kyrkorummet”. The aim has been to show that renewal of the modern sacred art is best accomplished by the combination of the artist history and Bible knowledge and the open mindness of the beholder towards the new and creative, in order to communicate the gospel in modern time. The large extend of the art project demanded a selection of the art works. Therefore, three were chosen and they show the last supper and the baptism in a renewal way including both symbolism and creativity. To complete and facilitate the analyses, a theme, light and water, have been used as well as relevant theories in art history with Kandinsky as main art critic. Through the art project and it’s teaching, history in combination with present time through visits in different and modern churches, thoughts have been stimulated and the result has been new works of art that speaks of our time. The project has also shown that symbolism is an important aspect in the renewal of sacred art, since it communicates and reveals important truths.
