Kate beheading Holofernes

An adaptation of Cristofano Allori’s “Giuditta con la testa di Oloferne”

“Julia Murakami […] is an artist whose work runs the gamut between the gory and the guileless, juxtaposing beauty in historical and contemporary iconic forms with visions of violence, both explicit and implicit. Her work employs a plethora of media and often results in an unsettling search for balance between mutually repelling poles.”Kenton Turk
