Contemporary religious art

From conducting a quick google search on this subject, I have found that a lot of this style of art is still very similar to the old masters paintings. Although I have noticed that contemporary religious art  is getting a slight push from various artists who are using the classical imagery in a new way. 

St. Garf (The Annunciation)Ian Byrne, 2014

Obviously this piece is similar to mine in that it is using a famous figure in place of a religious character. I do actually really like this style, the smudged paint strokes are really nice. 



This stylised piece is really cool, Using religious imagery to create a fantastical being. I may strive to create more in depth pieces with more imagery in them.
