"CHRIS! have you been playing with your XBox all night?"   mixed medium on canvas 30 x 40

CHRIS! have you been playing with your XBox all night?

- the first of four paintings on show at the Congregation installation Brighton Artist Open House Festival of 2009.

Congregation Catalogue now available on line

Based on a 12th century byzantine miniature, with the addition of an x-box control in the hand of Christ instead of the Bible, I am endeavouring to introduce the notion that Christianity may have never come about had virtual reality games been available in the year 13AD. For surely the young Jesus would have been trying to save the world in cyberspace rather than on earth.
