The holy virgin Mary, mother of God, praying on the back of a pig.This is by Wim Delvoye, a Belgian artist excited by tattoos and pigs. Wim forces the mother of God to be on the back of an animal. Is the animal willing to carry this holy figure? Whatever the response, Wim decided to impose his will to them whether they are alive or dead. For him, works of art go everywhere and express themselves in any kind of situation. Therefore, he embalms the holy pig and its other mates that have his tattoo. It is his way to raise them from the dead then they could live forever as he the god giving life to his works. And it obvious that people defending animals rights are shocked at Wim’s depiction of animal cruelty. Apparently, those effects do not bother him. They are part of nature. There are pieces of art. There are the missing parts that complete his works.
