Today we celebrate the Holy and Glorious Apostle Thomas. Saint Thomas was one of the twelve apostles of Christ who is well known for his initial doubting of the Resurrection. Once he saw the Resurrected Lord with his own eyes, he exclaimed, "my Lord and my God!" This scene is often erroneously referred to as "the Doubting of Thomas". In the Greek, the inscription on the iconography reads "the Touching of Thomas" and the Slavonic, "the Belief of Thomas". After the ascension of the Lord, the Apostle Thomas went all throughout the lands, being the most daring and travelling to many remote places such as Ethiopia and India, where in the latter country he was crowned with martyrdom. Having been speared five times, his soul departed to the Lord.

St Thomas, the Apostle.

‘The Incredulity of St. Thomas towards Modern Art’ Piece made in Ravenna, Italy for @Subsidenze Art direction & pic @bonobolabo A tribute to Alberto Burri’s “Grande Ferro R”, a site-specific steel sculpture made in 1990 for the city. Closely located to Burri’s work, the mural consists in an adaptation of the “doubting Thomas” theme, a criticism towards the current bad state of preservation and development of the Grande Ferro and therefore criticism on how it is perceived by the local administrations, as well as among common citizens. When it comes to modern and contemporary art in general, where the horizons of the “immediately recognizable” of figurative and still nature heavily blur, making space to conceptuality and abstraction, the aim is to arise questions regarding the definition and perception of a piece of art as such (through people’s eyes), the loss of importance of a creative act in collectivity through nullifying behaviours, which then leads to questions about weighing the responsibilities of institutions, users, viewers and citizens towards (public) art. #burri #subsidenze #ravenna #grandeferror #muralism #doubtingthomas #stthomas (presso Ravenna, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxVZRnUBiwt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17mr7rujqi552
