The 13th Apostle
Alvaro José's unique style in painting is characterized by an elongation and roundness of form, a purity of line, a sense of mass and a languorous atmosphere.
The Thirteenth Apostle
Artist: Alvaro Jose
There have been many depictions of the Last Supper, Da Vinci's being probably the most famous ones of all.
Here the artist paints the last supper, using "pop culture". The apostles share, fries, soda and burgers from Mc. Donalds. We also see Ronald Mc Donald in the back being "The Thirteenth Apostle".
I guess it relies on pure interpretation of the viewer as to what the artist means to say about his "last meal". It could be as simply as bringing his "last supper" to a more contemporary audience.
