Bank Pub Crucifix
1989
A raw and visceral oil painting by British artist Billy Childish, rendered in his characteristically bold, expressionistic brushwork. The work juxtaposes sacred and secular imagery, placing a crucifix within the gritty, working-class context of a pub or bank setting. Childish's unflinching, primitive style strips the composition down to its emotional core, creating a tension between the spiritual and the mundane.
