Coeurs saignants, la violence des images religieuses - Limited Edition of 26 Print

Coeurs saignants, la violence des images religieuses, is a series of silkscreen prints created through a process, or technique, called quadrichromie (four colours printing). These prints are derived from an original painting, I did in 2019. It is a parody of various religious images, such as the bleeding hearts, which are so often part of the religious iconography It is a fierce criticism of these violent and bloody images, too often encountered in our everyday lives. I photographed an old litograph of these two hearts in an antique store a while ago, as I was looking or searching for props for a movie. I was then working as a movie decorator. I was struck by the refinement of this complex image of two suspended hearts bleeding, but also by its cruelty. These types of images have always been around in various churches, when I was younger.
