A SITE-SPECIFIC PROJECT IN ONE OF THE DECONSECRATED CHURCH OF NAPLES Painting on a large scale is an expression of an artist's ambition and ego, allowing Chase Palmer to create a world that the viewer can nearly step into. All three works are loosely adapted from the Divine Comedy, with Space Invaders representing Paradiso, Destination Compaction representing Purgatorio, and Little Divers representing Inferno. The subject matter is intended to be entertaining rather than strictly religious or moralizing, and viewers are left to decide whether they can see themselves in these painted worlds full of opportunists, gluttons, and heretics.
