Welcome to the official
web gallery of The Art of Divine Mercy, featuring the beautiful Sacred Art
of Tommy Canning of Scotland.
Inspired by the great masters in Christian
art down the centuries such as Michelangelo and Caravaggio to Carl Bloch and Bouguereau, Tommy’s unique and vibrant style in his depictions of Jesus, The
Blessed Virgin Mary, and the Saints brings to life, in a dynamic way for new
generations, the beauty and richness of the Catholic faith and Traditions,
which unquestionably inspired some of the greatest masterpieces in the
history of art.
Since the beginning of his paintings and
drawings relating to religious themes in the early 1990’s, Tommy’s work has
become known and valued all over the world. His work has appeared on
countless posters, newspapers, journals, book covers, CD covers, T-shirts,
videos and T.V. programmes. Many of His original art works and prints reside
in Shrines, Monasteries, convents, retreat houses, seminaries and places of
religious formation all over the world.
In recent years Tommy has been a guest at
conferences in both the east and west coasts of America as well as the
Hawaiian Islands, giving presentations of his art work, including the
highly acclaimed and popular DVD of The Art of Divine Mercy, which features
John Debney’s stirring music score form Mel Gibson’s Passion of the Christ.
In all his art, Tommy seeks to move and
inspire the viewer to experience a deeper appreciation for Christ’s merciful
heart, and His love and compassion for all mankind.
