Listing: Smoke and Mirrors

"The monuments are supposed to commemorate kings and religions, heroes, dogmas, but in the end, the man they commemorate is the builder." J. Bronowski - The Ascent of Man. This is an apt quote for paintings that depict chapels and cathedrals. The paintings unpack the desire for the sublime that the architecture of the cathedral tries to evoke. Art was once in the service of God, but today this artist is not convinced. The cathedral is revealed as a structure of bricks and mortar.
