Oil painting
Jesus
A naked, laughing Christ steps down from his cross and walks along the beach with open arms.
The cross is a white block planted in the sand; the man simply leaves it behind, hair blowing, alive from head to foot. Behind him are sea and surf. There is no agony here and no glory either. The painting keeps the gesture of welcome, and gives the figure back two things the imagery tends to take away: a body, and joy.

About the series
Each canvas in this cycle starts from a title — an expression, a brand, a slogan — and treats it as a subject for classical painting. The result is a chronicle of contemporary public life, in which power, money and belief appear as characters.
