RELIGIOUS ART | NEWS OF WEEK

AOA NEWS
By Tahlib
SPOT PAINTINGS (above) by Damien Hirst are the Talk of Week in the Religious Art world (and the rest of the Art world too). The British artist's main theme is to express ideas about mortality, life, and often spirituality and science. The Spot series is an arrangement of color spots inspired by pharmaceutical chemicals. Hirst, who is also known for his anti-religious series "The Last Supper" in 1999, has 1500 of these Spot Paintings posted in galleries in eight cities around the world this month. Listed below are the art news stories of the past week from the five largest world religions, plus an "other" mix of related news.

Hirsts point, I think, is that the pharmaceutical industry is just as baffling to most of us. Doctors prescribe drugs and pharmacists give them out with the promise that they’ll extend our lives, but really we have no idea. We just blindly put our trust in doctors and drugs. And just like religion, we hold on to hope in the face of the inevitability of death.
