Last Supper

2020

Fiberglass
530 x 273 x 250 cm

The last supper has been an important artistic subject for two millennia, from the second century catacombs of Rome, via Michelangelo and Da Vinci to Nitsch and Warhol. Its symbolic meaning is universally understood: a goodbye to life and the world as we know it. In AVL’s version every apostle has its own character: lethargically hanging in a corner, sneaking away or hiding under the table. The scene is framed by a cage-like structure that ties it together like a portable shrine, but also implies restriction, either physically or mentally.

Last Supper (2020) was part of the following exhibition(s):
RE_NATURE, Future of Work, ‘s-Hertogenbosch (NL), 2021
The Rebellion, Luxembourg Art Week, Luxembourg (Lux), 2023
