Arno Carstens, Golgotha, 2019, Original oil on canvas, 1.7m x 1.4m
GOLGOTHA | Aramaic: “Skull” skull-shaped hill in ancient Jerusalem, the site of Jesus’ crucifixion. The hill of execution was outside the city walls of Jerusalem. Its exact location is uncertain, but most scholars prefer either the spot now covered by the Church of the Holy Sepulchre or a hillock called Gordon’s Calvary just north of the Damascus Gate.
"Golgotha is my response to the rampant commercialisation of religion," Carstens says of his 4th artwork for Stacks premier marketplace, Gamma.
The 1.7m x 1.4m original oil is part of a powerful NFT trilogy, the originals of which are currently held in Arno's private collection: Samsara, The Shaman and Golgotha.
