Abstract

Among the topics involving art, the question of artistic production, valued and secreted in Catholic churches has been studied by various art professionals and related fields. Among the many issues discussed was realized that art appreciation is caused by its location, ie, the more perceived by the public, greater the understanding of the message that the artist sought to convey. Being the art market the controller of the value of an artistic work, very often the access to art works becomes restricted to a few observers. This way, for most of the people, the appreciation of an artwork with authentic quality becomes inaccessible. From this issue, this study analyzed the creative process of religious artworks performed on the panels visible on the walls of the temple belonging to the Catholic Parish St. John the Evangelist, located at the University Square, in Goiania-GO, available to the public appreciation . In that temple is exposed the artwork produced by painter George Wilson, a painter who gathers the recognition of this community. Thereafter, it was emphasized the analysis of the main panels, such as the figure of Jesus Christ at the moment of the "Transfiguration" and the image of the Apostle "Saint John the Evangelist". For the accomplishment of this analysis, it was used the researches in books that deal with this subject, written by renowned researchers, the testimony of the painter, photographs and field visits. Based on the data and information collected, it was possible to reveal the iconography and iconology existing behind those panels. This study revealed the main aspects of the artistic work of religious art produced by artist, this work, which has specific goal, ie the religious orientation directed to all visitors of that space.
