This piece represents Endless’ ‘brand worship’ ethos, where he compares modern societies obsession with luxury goods to that of traditional religious worship. The central image is inspired by ‘The Good Shepherd’ – a religious symbol often found within early Christian artworks, which comments on the Shepherds devotion and loyalty to his flock. In Endless’ remake, the lamb is branded with the distinctive Gucci pattern, a representation of the shift in modern priorities. The collage-faced figure is depicted within an archway, which represents church windows and there are other symbols of religious worship and iconography referenced throughout the piece, such as cherubs. Endless created this piece using a combination of hand painting with acrylics, spray paint, photography and digital design.
