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.
