[no title] c. 2001 - 2007

Curator: León Ferrari, born in 1920, created this untitled work. It’s currently held in the Tate Collections. It appears to be a reproduction of Goya’s “Witches’ Sabbath” combined with text from a religious publication. Editor: Woah, what a collision! The somber mood of Goya mixed with the blatant proselytizing. It's jarring, almost comical in its absurdity. Curator: Precisely. Ferrari uses juxtaposition as a form of critique, highlighting the hypocrisy and violence often masked by religious rhetoric. It invites us to consider the socio-political implications when faith is used to justify power. Editor: It’s like a visual scream. The original painting already felt pretty intense, now it’s been amplified, and aimed squarely at... well, everyone. It's a real gut punch. Curator: Absolutely. Ferrari’s work encourages questioning authority and challenging dominant narratives, even when they are deeply entrenched. Editor: It definitely lingers. Makes you wonder about all the hidden messages we're bombarded with daily. Curator: Indeed. Hopefully this piece inspires similar critical reflection on our part.
