Supporting Education Through Art…

Supporting Education Through Art… August 26, 2015

… I got an interesting email from a professor of an Unnamed College who teaches a course on Catholic Christianity. He said he uses my website to teach his students about liturgical abuses and bad Christian art.

Well, who am I to stand in the way of education?

Behold the Joy of Jesus (by Lindena Robb, Sydney, Australia)
Art by Lindena Robb, Sydney, Australia

The piece is screaming with social commentary about Christ, exploring the relationship between multiculturalism and life as performance. What starts out as contemplation soon becomes corrupted into a carnival of exaggerated jubilation, leaving only a sense of nihilism and the inevitability of a new reality. As shimmering forms become reconfigured through emergent and academic practice, the viewer is left with an insight into their relationship with Christ.

And my mom thought that art degree would go to waste.
