This sequence of sculptures, appropriately known as Churchtanks, by specialist Kris Kuksi provides a questionable re-imagining of cathedrals as intensely armored tanks. Like much of his body of work, Kuksi's items in this selection review structured religious beliefs and opinion on values by mixing the faith-based structure with army force.
The combined press designs are meticulously designed, offering the highest details in both the Baroque-inspired homes of praise and the modern commercial design of the combat vehicles. Through this visible juxtaposition, the specialist is able to start a discussion. Kuksi's bio on his website states:
"Kris feels that in the world today much of mankind is oftentimes frivolous and fragile, being driven primarily by greed and materialism. He hopes that his art exposes the fallacies of Man, unveiling a new level of awareness to the viewer."
