Printmaking Contemporary Practice

James Kearney

Crux

The language of pain and trauma informs the vocabulary of my work. The central themes conveyed in my work are sourced from Christian Iconography and motifs. The sensation of being and suffering reproduced in etchings of classical Artworks and wax sculptures challenging our perception of eternal pain in mortality. My work is linked to that of the bodies’ portrayal in Christian Art and Iconography, the death and rebirth of Christ, the harrowing images of pain and suffering which are displayed as religious doctrine. I am developing an emphasis on true human existence in the physical body.
