Saint+mary

18 x 24 inches poster

This absurd and provocative artwork fuses iconic, contradictory symbols into a single, chaotic vision; Saint-Mary stands at the center, cloaked in divine blues, her eyes lifted toward ‘heaven’, while behind her, a nuclear bomb erupts in holy silence. The Batman signal beams absurdly from a UFO, casting irony over the scene. A giant spider looms ominously nearby, adding a touch of surreal horror.

Beneath it all, a (fake?) Bible quote attributed to Mary, the forgotten apostle: “Feel my titties.” Blasphemous? Maybe. But also, a biting commentary. This absurd invocation strips centuries of sanitized reverence from the figure of Mary—the eternal Virgin, the holy vessel, the unreachable icon—and tosses her into the chaotic discourse of modern sexuality. Is it satire? A raw challenge? A meme-laced cry against the Madonna-whore complex that’s boxed women in for millennia?

Maybe it's a jab at how society fetishizes purity while demonizing agency. Or a mirror to how some women lean into hypersexualization online, perhaps reclaiming power, perhaps feeding the very beast. Maybe it’s just Mary, tired of the pedestal, saying, “Fine, you wanted to make me a symbol? Here. Choke on it.”

This isn’t about piety. It’s about provocation.

The piece parodies spiritual iconography while evoking apocalyptic dread, humour, and speculative myth.

  • Anywhere 18 × 24 inches poster are printed, really. You can have this printed in your local print shop, and I do recommend you investing your money in your community. Printing locally will help folks in your community put food on their table.

    You can also order online through print-on-demand services; all you need to do is upload the file and make your order there; I like Printful’s Enhanced Matte Paper Poster, their posters are always great quality, I’ve never ever been disappointed by their matte posters.

  • This image looks grainy and old because it was designed that way.

    It was made by digital blending, using photography and illustrations with transpositions of noise textures, filters and halftones.
