Familiar Painting

This image was actually inspired by a work by Andres Serrano that depicts a sacrificial lamb (a head of Jesus atop a lamb's body) -- it was very evocative but in a haunting, disturbing way. I was at a party where this picture was hung on a wall, and I ended up sitting in front of it for hours. It had a sense of religiosity that I have seen elsewhere -- often in outsider art -- that is deeply psychological, kind of familiar in an odd way, and terrifying. It haunted me for months. And then, out of the blue, this image appeared in my head, and I had to paint it. In a way, it has to do with all kinds of cross-overs -- between different species, between the animate and the inanimate, perhaps between life and death. Perhaps it is about the cosmos in some way -- the fertile void that we are all born out of and the form we take based on its whims of the moment of our birth.
