Since the 1980’s his work has been applauded and denied by the public. Whether it’s the politics the image battles or the statement the image makes, Serrano’s works attract an immense amount of attention. Some believe his provoking images are produced simply for the joy of shocking his audience, frequently sighting his work “Immersions (Piss Christ)” (1987). Receiving mixed reviews, Serrano has been condemned by conservative Christian groups and at the same time praised by the arts community for his bold statements. Serrano’s work has exhibited at many galleries internationally. His oeuvre often incorporates bodily fluids such as blood, urine, female breast milk and shit. Serrano currently lives and works in New York City and Paris.
