A stylised plaster figure depicting Christ, reinterpreted through a dark, contemporary aesthetic influenced by heavy metal and gothic visual culture.

The figure is modelled in flowing drapery with exaggerated movement, presenting Christ in a frontal stance with hands drawing attention to the Sacred Heart motif at the chest.

The face and torso are further articulated with high-contrast painted detailing, creating a striking fusion of traditional Christian iconography and modern subcultural imagery.

Executed in plaster and finished with a predominantly dark palette, the piece draws on the long tradition of devotional sculpture while deliberately subverting its conventions.

Such reinterpretations reflect late 20th- and early 21st-century artistic practices, where religious symbolism is recontextualised through music, counterculture, and alternative art movements.

The figure stands on an integrated rectangular base, designed for shelf, cabinet, or altar-style display, and functions as both a sculptural object and a statement piece within collections that explore religion, symbolism, and contemporary visual culture.

Care instructions
