Scott LoBaido, a NYC artist and practicing Catholic has created a new work to illustrate his scorn for the decision of the Brooklyn Museum to show the video art by fellow artist "& Catholic", David Wojnarowicz. The provocative protest painting, according to The Staten Island Advance, "has found a place of honor in Borough Hall" after LoBaido was banned from the Brooklyn Museum. The painting in question depicts Arnold Lehman, director of the Brookly Museum, "shown slouching in the nude on the rim of a toilet bowl filled with green ooze." Earlier this year, LoBaido made the news when he protested the infamously anti-gay Westboro Church with a painting entitled, "The Truth (Welcome Home)" which he sought to deliver to their church in Topeka, Kansas. The good news is that works of both Wojnarowicz and LoBaido are prompting more New Yorkers to talk about religion & art in different ways.
