Works
In 2004 Pelletier created a modern-day version of James Ensor's Christ's Entry Into Brussels in 1889 called American Fundamentalists: Christ’s Entry into Washington in 2008. Pelletier’s work adapts and expands Ensor's mockery of government, religious and business leaders, recasting the return of Jesus based on modern biblical interpretations of the late 20th century American Christian Fundamentalist and Christian Dominionist movements, especially of Left Behind author and activist Tim LaHaye. The work has been displayed throughout the United States and Europe, usually accompanied by presentations by and discussion with the artist.
American Fundamentalist Movement
Pelletier has written a manifesto that comments on American Fundamentalism. Religion, politics, economy, and corporations are discussed.
