ON THE BLUFF VISITING VOICES

The Great I Am Classically trained artist Gerald Roulette came to UP to speak about his life, his artistic process, and his painting The Great I Am, which is installed in University of Portland’s Clark Library. A work of abstract realism, The Great I Am depicts Christ as a person of color, speaking to the need for all of us to see representations of ourselves in the deity of Christ.
