Penitence as Demolition
Jul 27, 2026What it is about
St Jerome, in a blue robe, kneels in penitence before a crucifix, but now wields a modern pneumatic jackhammer, drilling into the rock with a spray of dust as devotion, drawn from a Renaissance painting, is recast as demolition work. His figure is surrounded by hundreds of desaturated, sepia tiles from similar old-master compositions, his robe the only colour. || Maker chain not logged at creation; attribution reconstructed.
