“Here, the artist blends elements of color into shapes and forms to explore salvation and the terms under which his winged and hooded figure, manipulating a marionette whose actions are predicated under the guise of Christianity, delivers it. His works have caused sufficient distress to be vandalized and censored.” (caption, p.118) |
