in a casual relaxed atmosphere, then Theology on Tap is for you! This exciting program, sponsored

…” theme with sessions on:

The Gospel according to Damien Hirst
Mr. Tyrus Clutter
One of the most infamous and derided artists of the past 15 years, Damien
Hirst first came to public attention by displaying various animals encased
in large vitrines of formaldehyde. And while recent complaints have dealt
more with his ostentatiousness (i.e. a human skull covered in diamonds),
many miss the underlying Christian symbols and themes that permeate his
work. This presentation will delve into the little discussed Christian
principles that are at the foundation of Hirst's provocative works.
Tyrus Clutter is a painter and printmaker originally from the midwest. His
award-winning work has been exhibited in numerous group and solo exhibitions
throughout North America and in galleries in Europe. Clutter's work can be
found in many private collections as well as in the Print Collection of the
New York Public Library, and the collections of the Museum of Biblical Art,
and the Spencer Museum of Art at the University of Kansas. From 1999–2001 he
was art critic for the Boise Weekly newspaper in Boise, Idaho Tyrus
currently resides in Massachusetts where he has worked as the Director of
the non-profit organization Christians in the Visual Arts
(CIVA) since 2003.
