Original artwork description
Butcher and the priest sets two archetypal figures side by side: one of flesh and knives, one of rituals and absolution. The painting plays with the tension between violence and mercy, using strong verticals and cut shapes to suggest altars, counters and confessionals. Colour shifts from raw reds to cooler, clerical tones, hinting that neither role is purely innocent. Built in oil over time, the surface has a lived-in quality, like a wall that’s absorbed stories for decades.
