Agony in the Garden is a title taken from an episode of the life of Christ. On the night before the crucifixion, after the last supper as his disciples sleep in an orchard, Christ prays to god in a desperate plea to spare him from his fate on the cross. But after being consoled by an angel, he ultimately accepts his betrayal and sacrifice. In Agony in the Garden, Armitano Domingo examines self-appointed suffering in both the secular and sacred worlds, and the virtuous aura that surrounds it.
Marc Armitano Domingo (b. 1996) is a multidisciplinary artist living in New York City. He began studying historical performance on the Viola da Gamba in 2008 and studied at Peabody Conservatory at Johns Hopkins. In 2016 he began working with porcelain under the mentorship of Stepanka Horlakova and quickly turned his pastime into a fully fledged arts practice. Armitano Domingo has also become a leading researcher and performer of the salterio (a type of dulcimer popular in 17th and 18th Europe) as well as an oil painter, focusing on natural and sacred subjects.
