Ivan KorshunovThe Kiss of Judas, 2017 ·
(from the “KISS!” series)
Graffiti · 105 × 105 cm · Russia

The painting captures a modern perspective on the scene of Judas' betrayal. Judas is portrayed in contemporary attire, underscoring the ongoing relevance of this narrative in our current era. Furthermore, the practice of dressing New Testament figures in modern clothing is a technique that has been widely embraced

in Western art since the Renaissance.

Through this artistic choice, painters sought to convey the notion that God exists beyond the constraints of time and space, and the narratives of the New Testament continue to be a living history that humanity revisits time and again.
