Art to Ponder

I think the artist was trying to convey that Christ feels the pain of this fellow's drug habit, but this was not what a great many of my facebook friends saw when this was posted a few weeks ago.  Sacrilegious and sick were the most common descriptive words that were tossed around.  Here are few of my thoughts on this painting....

Are the nunchucks hanging on the doorknob there to clack together and let someone know the door was opened?

Is the hand-print on the door ghostly or did someone forget to wash their hands after they changed the oil in their car?

HATE the expression Jesus has on his face.  I can't decide if he is in agony or ecstasy.  (Tons of people that thought this painting was "sick and sacrilegious" thought Jesus was sporting an ecstasy face)

That gun is so crooked I bet you couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with it.

The artist in me is screaming at all the different angles of the items scattered over the table.  PICK ONE and make the rest of the items match it for goodness sake!  When you look at things in real life do you see all the sides of items or do you have a line of sight and only know--not see--the whole item????

The cracking plaster looks like a map.  Gold land masses and green water....just saying.

For a junkie this guy has the body of a Calvin Klein underwear model.  Maybe the message is better living through chemistry?

All in all I would say "Disturbing" is the best description.
