Original artwork description:

Large scale portrait. Close up of a face with features contorted in an ambiguous expression of agony or ecstacy. Barabbas was a prisoner who was chosen by the crowd in Jerusalem, over Jesus, to be pardoned and released by Roman governor Pontius Pilate at the Passover feast. I chose him as a subject from childhood fascination in the 1961 film starring Anthony Quinn; Barabbas. Depicted here is John Cusack imagined in the role.
