David LaChapelle - XII: He dies on the Cross
David LaChapelle's work, XII: He dies on the Cross is a chromogenic print on Dibond made in a limited edition of 7 examples and 5 artist's proofs.
In this work Jesus has arrived on the cross, immortalized in a gaze of pure compassion toward the Eternal Father. Before him is his mother Mary, her hands clasped in prayer, wrapped in an indigo robe.
In the twelfth station, the Son of God reveals himself as such, crying out to heaven the famous expression "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Covered in tears and sweat, Jesus is about to face death and atone for sins, left alone by his father.
The work XII: He dies on the Cross was made in 2023 and measures 20.8x15.7 in.
The Stations of the Cross Series
Way of the Cross is nothing more than a Christian devotional path that consists of processionally passing 14 crosses, pausing at each one to pray to Jesus. These crosses are called stations: this Christian-based spiritual path inspired LaChapelle for his 2023 series Station of the Cross.
LaChapelle tells a sacred journey in a profane surrealist key, starting from the place where Jesus was condemned to death and ending with the place of the resurrection.
Profane in that Jesus is in the guise of Italian musician and actor Tedua: in 2023 the rapper released his third album dedicated to the Divine Comedy, a record for which LaChapelle signed the Covers for the two parts, Inferno and Purgatorio. The Genoese singer interprets the figure of Jesus with incredible pathos, reminiscent of the part he played in Michele Placido's 2022 film, The Shadow of Caravaggio.
Imbued with theatricality, the devotional itinerary is dismayed by symbolic figures inspired by the medieval and post-modern eras. However, LaChapelle repurposes the Christian iconographic repertoire in kitsch: he remixes semantic codes, drawing on the notoriety of images to provide us with new meanings related to the contemporary world. Plastic, sculpted, exaggeratedly colored, the subjects of LaChapelle's photographs reinterpret the secularized visual culture of the sacred. Thus, the artist engages the viewer in his reflection on today's conception of religiosity.
