This signed artwork presents a composition reminiscent of classical art, featuring hooded figures bowing and curtailed before a sign proclaiming "SALE ENDS". Instead of the expected Madonna and Christ figures one might anticipate in such a setting, the artwork satirises the notion that consumerism has supplanted religion. It suggests a scenario where material goods have taken the place of spiritual reverence among the masses, critiquing how capitalism has come to dominate modern society.
