Dana Schutz

Worship Channel (I'm Into Jesus)

2007

A frenetic, large-scale oil painting by Dana Schutz depicting a distorted, ecstatic figure absorbed in televised religious fervor, rendered in her characteristically fleshy, fragmented brushwork. Schutz's signature style of compressed, cartoonish forms collide with visceral paint handling to capture the absurdity and intensity of devotional spectacle. The work pulses with nervous energy, using bold color and warped figuration to probe the intersection of faith, media consumption, and emotional excess.
