Celebrated Christ

G.R.L
Greater Research Lab
Jesus 'in the Godless streets of New York'

This was the first image i came across, at first i thought it to be blasphemous and i wasn't quite sure if i was offended or not. But on further reading into the site i discovered it was the work of artists called G.R.L, a group of graffiti artists. They had made small maquettes representing Jesus on the cross and had taken them out to 'the Godless streets of New York', and displayed them in public places hoping to get a reaction from people. I'm not quite sure how i feel about the piece, i like the point that G.R.L were making, but do not quite agree with the image of Christ being taking so lightly.
