Happy Easter... with an irreverent twist!, by Agent Provocateur on Mar 21, 2008 14:12:27 GMT 1, On this happy and pious holiday weekend I thought you all might be interested in a bit of religeous art... what if... Jesus came back to save our souls, what would he charge to open a supermarket?
It's called 'Second coming'
Comments, opinions, swearing, bafflement... are not required but would be amusing!
Have a great weekend, may all your walls be lined with Banksy's ;D

Happy Easter... with an irreverent twist!, by robertlondon on Mar 21, 2008 16:40:05 GMT 1, Are the handles on the scissors hand painted?... no no don't want to start that off again.
At least it makes a change to see something that's not children with weapons of war, scantily clad women with weapons of war, the war, more war, modifying other artists work, modifying the war blah-de-blah... it's all been done to death...
I like the positioning and simplicity of the image.

Happy Easter... with an irreverent twist!, by Heavyconsumer on Mar 21, 2008 17:38:18 GMT 1, there you go agentprovocateur, some swearing for you. Nice piece by the way, I like it's simplicity and the fact that it's actually an original take for a change (although it does rmind me of Christ With Shopping bags a bit), as mentioned by others above. It can't be too bad, as my Mrs hates it - normally a good indicator of quality! Go forth with confidence dude. I would guess your work and style would grow and evolve a lot faster than if you keep yourself locked away working in stealth mode.

Happy Easter... with an irreverent twist!, by jamesreeve5 on Mar 21, 2008 17:47:28 GMT 1, James, have you some better, home-made offerrings for us, or are you not only a complete cvnt, but one who also has no talent?
I have talents, but much like agentprovocateur I am not very talented at art. But if I did post my work I would have the decency to put it in the proper section of the forum and I wouldn't put a misleading title at the top to try and get unsuspecting people to look at my work.

Jesus opening a supermarket at Easter.
It makes no sense... and it's all the better for it.

Happy Easter... with an irreverent twist!, by funyoung on Mar 21, 2008 19:02:47 GMT 1, I rather like it - it seems to say 'i declare easter open, everyone is welcome' not an anti Christianity message so often found these days.
Does have a finite life span though doesn't it - bit like Christmas decorations or my car's convertible roof in England - only really useful for a couple of weeks a year.

See, to me it says "I declare easter open, everyone is welcome...to spend money on plastic eggs, chocolate bunnies and other worthless consumer crap"

Happy Easter... with an irreverent twist!, by jamesreeve5 on Mar 21, 2008 22:20:42 GMT 1, Agent P, if you honestly did not know there was a new artist forum, then I apologize. And I have to give you credit that you aren't trying to sell it to us. It just gets frustrating when so many artists post in the wrong forum. I'm sure you can see it's gotten out of hand as we have some unknown "artist" trying to sell a print of a foopa and a gun for 100 quid.
**I have edited my first post in this thread**
And bigman, I fully support Leigh LeDare. Once he finishes getting his MFA at Columbia he is going to be big.

Happy Easter... with an irreverent twist!, by Agent Provocateur on Mar 21, 2008 23:45:30 GMT 1, no worries james... i honestly didn't know about this place.
i did the post because i had just completed the canvas for easter and thought it would be a tongue in cheek talking point whilst wishing you guys and gals all a great holiday.
i was also hoping to stimulate a little debate about the mass of consumerism that happens at easter (and also christmas). people love the long weekend, but only focus on the chocolate, tv movies and long getaways.
weirdly i am not a religious nut, but fascinated by peoples ability turn a blind eye to things that they don't feel comfortable or agree with.
not to go on... but someone may find it an interesting and amusing thought... if there actually was a second coming, just imagine the hype surround jesus! how many reporters would want an interview. the paparazzi would have a field day. so with all the attention, would he have to hire a pr company? how about a mobile phone or email address? they'd be good to have 
and so with the print i took it one stage further and got him doing an appearance at a supermarket for the grand opening of easter. combining the consumption and big business side of religious holidays with the media hype and interest that would surround the son of god.
mmm enough of my ramblings.
i may return as stealth mode is now off

if you had posted a picture of that spraypainted on the side of a tesco instead of that canvas, I wouldn't have said a word in this thread.

Happy Easter... with an irreverent twist!, by Agent Provocateur on Apr 18, 2008 15:13:05 GMT 1, hi all
just a quick update... and much to my (happy) surprise , the 'second coming' canvas has now sold out ;D. i have the final one to package up this weekend together with one of the special edition 'limited edition' tigers and then that's it for easter this year.
i'd just like to thank the people that bought one, because it was the first piece i have shown anyone, everyone has been a pleasure to deal with... so much so i even added a special stencil onto the packaging so they got a little piece of AP for free ;D
cheers

Happy Easter... with an irreverent twist!, by scavos on Apr 24, 2008 13:47:15 GMT 1, I'll second that coach. I'm very happy with my Second Coming canvas. Nice, clean and simple. Great stencilled packaging and a Limited Edition on the way too. Top work indeed. Photos to follow soon.
I'm very interested in seeing any street work if any has been done. If not then get out there and give it a blast. You'll go down well I'm sure.
