Fast Supper
120cm x 91cm. Oil on canvas.
I’ve always admired Caravaggio’s “Supper at Emmaus”. I wondered what would happen if you updated it into a modern domestic scene, so I gave it a go. Suddenly it’s all fast food and impatience. The sudden belief caused by the blessing becomes disbelief that food might need to be blessed at all, while precious seconds tick by and the food gets cold.
