Kosta Kulundžić is a French Serbian artist, born in Paris in 1972 and living in Hawaii. For several years he has been working with the representation of Christians saints and mythologies. He transposes biblical stories with contemporary popular culture, deploying codes of action movies, graphics novels and video games.

The grandson of an orthodox priest, he was nurtured by the specters of religious warfare, Christian dogma, and the burdens of martyrdom. Immersed in the narratives of the gospels, he populates them with his own heroes. In each of his canvasses he invites us to consider the battle between forgiveness and guilt, sin and grace, linking these ancient stories to the exaggerated and stylized violence of modern cinema and graphic novels.
