Love 2014

"Love", a 2014 painting by Kent Monkman, depicts a group of Indigenous people in contemporary clothing mourning a body resembling the figure of Christ. The painting is a powerful commentary on the lasting impacts of colonialism and the resilience of Indigenous communities. Monkman's work often uses humor and satire to address complex themes of history, identity, and sexuality, challenging dominant narratives and inviting viewers to consider Indigenous experiences in new ways.
