ANYONE IN IT WE KNOW?

Tim Marlow 

WHAT’S IT ABOUT THEN?

Like The Easter In Art Story Judgement Day is another 3 part documentary from SBS (made by the UK's Channel Five and Seveneth Art Films) hosted by Tim Marlow, using art to explore religious themes.

Broken down into three segements Judgement focuses on how artists portray the judgement moment after we die looking at both ancient and modern with Michaelangelo and contemporary British artist Mark Wallinger. 

Heaven is the second part and covers the notion of a blissful realm that we can inhabit aftert death, this is obviously something that has always been covered in art right from the ancient Egyptians to Stanley Spencer's wonderfully inspired vision of Heaven as a small English town. Hell is the third and final part and covers depictions of hell that range from an Islamic version from 15th century Afghanistan, to a monumental work by the British artists Jake and Dinos Chapman which was destroyed in warehouse fire in the spring of 2004.

 

Throughout the series, Tim asks whether artistic depictions of the afterlife are the expression of deep spirituality, or the product of society’s need to police individual behaviour. A very good companion series to Easter In Art and like that production uses such a wide ranging degree of art that we are able to easily grasp the enormity of the topic.
