Allegory of Caritas (An Act of Love)

This exhibition is a bloody exciting one, literally. At Mucciaccia Gallery’s new exhibition, artist Jan Fabre showcases thirty red coral sculptures of Vanitas skulls, anatomical hearts, crosses and liturgical objects and – wait for it – a series of unpublished drawings using the crimson fluid that flows through his own veins. Yes, we mean blood. Using raw flesh to link the coral sculptures and blood drawings, the artwork showcases the element of humanity through the artist's son’s ultrasounds and invites viewers to contemplate vulnerabilities and needs of humans.
