“Cristo armado” – Limited edition prints

Description

This is a collage made with black and white prints form magazines and assembled with cello tape.
The original’s measurements are 30 x 40 cm. I like to play with religious iconography in a desire to modernize it and place it on a human and contemporary level.
this literally “armed Christ” illustrates the non-sense that exists in a certain class of Americans who on one hand are fervent Catholics and on the other hand are for the right to possess a gun.

On the larger versions you may see dust and weft of the prints used. this is intended and is part of the original work. However, the digital version has been retouched by the artist to erase some unwanted elements.
