The Forbidden Fruit, 2014

54x76x116 cm Mixed Media Chapel Brass Belgium (1898) and Silicone

The vitality of the materials used and the persuasiveness of a great beauty, turn this Arnix object into pure pleasure to behold. The dissolute life symbolized by the dominant pig’s head placed above the fragile fruit so delicately laid out in front of the tell-tale text Hoc Est Corpus Meum, which is woven into the old fabric. The antique baroque chapel (dating from 1898) combined with the modern materials that perhaps seem to have no connection, are here elevated into a modern art object. Arnix allows you to experience life and imagine your own complexity of truth and confront it with this ubiquitous classic theme.
