Rare images retrieved from the web and [...]

Wagstaff depicts himself as Jesus Christ and twelve others as his Apostles, in a modern reworking of the popular religious theme. Instead of portraying a ‘true likeness’, the artist makes the connection between first century religious outlaws and modern day iconoclasts. The viewer is challenged to put aside preconceptions, and explore the possibility of the [...]
