In this deliberately anachronistic composition, Afflick revisits Carl Heinrich Bloch’s classic narrative of The Mocking of Christ to explore the hidden mechanics of spiritual warfare, shifting the focus to a profound dualism: Possession and Protection.
Afflick’s fusion of 19th-century realism with contemporary symbolism challenges viewers to recognise the ancient battle between good and evil operating beneath the surface of the modern world, a theme common in Afflick’s work.
Oil on paper, mounted and presented in a carefully selected pre-loved vintage frame that gives the artwork an immediate sense of gravity, presence, and timeless importance that a flawless, factory-made frame simply cannot replicate.
