Silkscreen on paper, signed by the artist - 12 Prints by Raymond Pettibon Folio of 12 Serigraphs, Published by Ed Boswell in association with Richard Duardo and Kay Koch Printed by Multiples, LA. - Was intended to be an edition of fifty but only forty good pieces were printed for the edition. // The World Came into the Church by Raymond Pettibon, created in 1991, is a powerful silkscreen print that combines expressive linework with thought-provoking text. The composition is dominated by bold black strokes that form an abstracted, gothic cathedral interior, with arches that converge towards the top, creating a sense of upward movement and spiritual introspection. Above the arches, the text reads, “The World Came into the Church,” while below it states, “God Embraces All the Converging Lines of the Universe.” Pettibon’s use of heavy black ink and sharp lines conveys both strength and vulnerability, reflecting themes of spirituality, universality, and introspection. This artwork invites viewers to contemplate the relationship between the divine and the earthly, between structure and chaos, within the symbolic framework of a church.
