M+S Cui I confess

I Confess 
Oil on canvas
2018
106 x 90cm 

I Confess employs multi-dimensional superimposition on a single picture plane to produce an image to represent the intertwining and contradiction of the ideal with reality, body, and soul. It attempts to describe the current situation in which human nature gets caught in the dilemma of crime and punishment in multiple time-spaces in times of dramatic social changes.
 —Wantian Cui

Drawing on a painting by Caravaggio, Wantian Cui’s Supper at Emmaus presents this moment of revelation and recognition illuminated by fluorescent lights to collapse time and space, to emphasize its relevance to contemporary life. According to the artist, “This represents the presence of God in daily reality as the human figures are situated in the context of modern life.”
