Catholic Eye-Candy

In these dark decadent days when stomach-turning blasphemy parades as "art," it is refreshing to discover that not all contemporary art is bad. Behold, I give you three artists whose work you should check out:

1) Michael O'Brien (Canadian painter and writer)
Jesus and His Mother
Divine Mercy


Verbum Caro Factum Est

St. Michael


3) Daniel Mitsui (h/t to Inside Catholic for linking to this Chicago artist)

Crucifixion (see here for an explanation of the symbols)
St. Michael (commissioned to imitate Japanese art)
