"This print combines two digitally altered images of Christ. A lack of originality burdens both. One is 'after' a 16th century Italian master, the other is 'after' a Modern British master. There is thus the genius of four different artists brought together. The print was made with Venice very much in mind. It's art, religion and politics, the title being somewhat sarcastic."
