Figurines & Biblical References

A sense of inner void caused by the recent crisis, an overly individualistic western society and digitalization is becoming a severe cultural issue. The uncertainty of the future is feeding into this universal new nihilism. Religions and Ideologies  always contributed to a sense of community by working for a greater good and harmonious togetherness. Interpreted in a  somewhat renaissance approach, fresco visuals of Jesus, Virgin Mary or other saints are becoming more literal than ever. From all-over to placed graphics a darker look that is rich in medieval symbols and gothic church references in architecture, express a feeling of tradition and history. Further iconic references like Baz Luhrman’s Romeo & Juliet or tacky 2000s designs surrounding churches enhance this trend and offer plenty of ideas for retro revivals in print & graphics.
