Jesus Christ: “Nothing Else Martyrs”

"With this extensive multiplication of references, Freston flattens a linear art historical timeline within a single pictorial plane. The original context of the forms he quotes is forgotten, rendered virtually meaningless. Different historical periods and artistic styles are treated in the same manner and compressed into a single frame"
