	Banksy Artwork of Cardinal Sin The Sun December 15, 2011 http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4001060/Banksy-artwork-of-Cardinal-Sin.html BANKSY'S latest artwork has been revealed — a pixelated bust of a priest called Cardinal Sin. The piece is made from a replica 18th century stone bust that had its face chopped off and replaced with tiles to make it look as though the features had been blurred on a computer. It has gone on display at Liverpool's Walker Art Gallery alongside 17th century Old Masters. The artist's sculpture comes after the church became embroiled in a huge scandal about child abuse. And Banksy said: "I guess you could call it a Christmas present. "At this time of year it's easy to forget the true meaning of Christianity — the lies, the corruption, the abuse." Mysterious cult star Banksy — whose works sell for millions of pounds — is best known for daubing cheeky graffiti in public places. Banksy has given this particular piece to the gallery on an indefinite loan. He added: "When I found out Mr Walker built it with beer money, it became my favourite gallery." Reyahn King, director of art galleries at National Museums Liverpool, said: "It's a huge coup and we are sure his work will spark a reaction with visitors."
