About the Item
A close friend commissioned Sheppard to cover up an old tattoo in the middle of his back that read “VIVA HATE.” Seeking inspiration, he turned to The Book of Hours once again. In the new design, God was depicted with more godly endowments, and angels were shown trumpeting rainbows. Sheppard pondered whether God, as Nietzsche suggested, had died, or instead had transformed like a butterfly to meet contemporary needs and desires. This transformation, he mused, is the hoped-for metamorphosis for all.

Consequences
By Mark Steven Greenfield
Located in Santa Monica, CA
Greenfield's versions are rendered in the Byzantine style of their art historical predecessors, with the black Virgin Mother and Baby Jesus as the central focus within circular compositions, or tondos. These tondos float amongst abstract discs, set within fields of lustrous, gold leaf. The Madonnas predominate before a variety of backgrounds, which were traditionally innocuous. Greenfield, however, presents these backdrops as various revenge fantasies, where white supremacists are cast in the role of victims, suffering the fates...
