What in the world are modern artists playing at nowadays with these so-called profound pieces of art? The latest controversial piece is a 6ft chocolate sculpture of Jesus on the Cross, aptly named “My Sweet Lord”. It has been made by Canadian-born artist Cosimo Cavallaro and is featuring in an exhibition this Easter (again aptly) in New York. Even though I find the concept and the artist’s ‘wit’ rather amusing, I doubt that much thought went into it. I mean, “sweet” is really as far as the metaphor goes. The other features of chocolate are far less favourable and I doubt Christians will be too happy to be presented with a huge sticky naked edible Jesus.
