"The Marriage
of Sex and Religion"
This painting features a resurrection of a woman with
unmistakeably sexual
and transgressive overtones. It is derived from Catholic fixation
of the body
as both a sacred and human vessel and my own fixation/preoccupation
with the beauty of the female form. The barren tree in the right
foreground
reaches heavenwards in a pathotic pose. The two distant mountains
bear crosses and more subtly reiterate the theme of sacrilige.
