Richard Duning — Stations of the Cross and Other Stories

This installation of Richard Duning’s stations of the cross and other stories is comprised of 14 paintings as well as an altar of fetishes and symbolic items. The garden of eden, the resurrection and the rough beast are several of the stories. Duning says “The journey of my painting consisted of looking at these stories as living myths that I approached both as an individual but also from an archetypal point of view. Certainly I referenced the Biblical stories for a starting point, but then I approached them more from the direction of what does it have to do with life as I know it? What does it have to teach me? It has been rewarding to share the work with different audiences and to realize that other people are also experiencing these works from a similar but very individualized point of view.”
