Description
A tongue-in-cheek, erotic interpretation of "The Last Supper." Siedman borrows from Old Master techniques in strong chiaroscuro and symbolism (the presence of skeletal Death, the crumbling ceiling through which the heavens are viewed) to illuminate the scene. Siedman's late 1980s to mid 1990s work frequently dealt with the heady juxtaposition of sex and death, and did not shy away from homoeroticism, and thus was often viewed as controversial.
