A series of 14 paintings by the British artist Rachel Howard which were commissioned by the Murderme collection. The series is based on the Stations of the Cross but is also a broader commentary on the universality of human rights abuses and people’s capability for cruelty towards each other.
Rachel Howard uses household high-gloss paint, creating tension between the pedestrian, the utilitarian and the essentially romantic. She employs gravity to influence the paint’s direction, with layers of poured paint building up, allowing a combination of the weight of the gloss, precision and chance to determine the landscape of each work.
