Vater Unser 2016

"Vater Unser," a 2016 painting by Rolf Ohst, depicts a large, nude woman bound to a cross. The woman's body is realistically rendered, showcasing her weight and the folds of her flesh. The artist's use of realism highlights the subject's physicality and challenges traditional depictions of the crucifixion, prompting viewers to reconsider the role of body image and religious iconography in contemporary art. The painting, measuring 250 x 150 cm, is a striking and thought-provoking work that explores themes of faith, sexuality, and body image.
