Morality Play
Chris Cosnowski
Depicts the Infant Jesus of Prague figure emerging from the shadows of pristine white arches. The Earth he is holding in his left hand surmounted by a cross (The Globus Cruciger) is coming into the light. In the front we see a seal on a red white and blue pedestal balancing a dodecahedron on its nose. This represents humanity with its politics and science. It’s important to note it is a trained seal. The title has to do with the fact that Gnostics believed that material existence to be inherently flawed. An homage to DeChirico.
