NoddyHolder Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 People are saying this shouldnt have been done because of the timing..7/7 inquest..Theres no doubt the artist is talented but are the detractors correct http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3245896/Artist-defends-July-7-bus-bomb-mural.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Rock Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 It's shocking and quite morbid. Is that 17th century baroque art using mystical light in the style of Caravaggio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mj.scuba Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Certainly a talented artist but I don't think it achieves it's intended aim 'to make people think about the effects of faith'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mj.scuba Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Perhaps if the artist is showing the victims being guided to heaven by angels, he should also have considered illustrating demons dragging the bomber to the depths of hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plain Talker Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 care to elaborate why? Mawkish, for one. Secondly, as Classic Rock says , Morbid imagery. and, surprisingly, thirdly, I agree with mjscuba's comment about it not making people think about faith. (oh, and I liked his sentiment about depicting the bombers being dragged to hell, as well) - sorry, mj has that surprised you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
