Year of Work: 2004

Size: 60" x 48"

£10,000 (framed). This painting in art history terms is a very rare image, if not unique, in that it depicts a scene where Judas and the Magdalene are alone with each other. Chris Gollon has used himself as the model for Judas. The note pinned to the tree has words obscured, but finishes with Sorry, Judas. As men do run in the air when hung, Gollon takes this to the extreme of pathos by his use of cartoon-like running legs. The painting takes partial inspiration from the Bob Dylan lyrics: "I can't think for you/You'll have to decide/Whether Judas Iscariot/Had God on his side.."
