Just in time for Easter, [these regal fresco paintings](http://kimfostergallery.com/dan-hernandez/?ref=killscreen.com) inspired by the videogames of yore are now showing at Kim Foster Gallery on 529 W 20th Street in New York. The show, called Genesis, is the artistic outpouring of Dan Hernandez, a man whose love for classic arcade games is only equaled by his love for Italian Renaissance murals, apparently.

Much of his art looks like something out of a Medieval cathedral or manuscript, but modernized with bloody, game-y pop art. On one canvas, you see a saint with nimbus throwing fireballs Mario-style, while right below him there are holy men throwing down the gauntlet a la *Altered Beast*. Others portray unholy hives of *Space Invaders* swarming the sky, and cherubim raining down missiles.
