Immaculate: Reflections of Mary - Opening Reception

“Immaculate: Reflections of Mary”

Group Showing

February 11^th, 2012 through March 17^th, 2012

MF Gallery is proud to present “Immaculate: Reflections of Mary” opening reception February 11^th, 2012 from 7 PM to 10 PM.

The Virgin Mary has played the longstanding role of a mother, daughter, wife, and saint. This iconographic female figure’s influence on artists has been expressed through songs, poetry, paintings and statues throughout history. Today she is represented in film, television, t-shirts, stickers, tattoos, and even visualized on toast, allotting her a most unusual occupancy in popular culture.

Immaculate: Reflections of Mary seeks to reveal artwork influenced by the Virgin Mary.  This unique collection will show us how her image has transcended from a figure in religious institutions into modern culture.

Artists participating in this exhibition hail from a variety of mediums such as printmaking, tattooing, painting, sculpture, animation, and traditional drawing methods. Artists include: Alex McWatt, Un Lee, Liam Sparkes, Shannon Beal, Greg Maillard, John Russo, Dean Raoofi, Matt Ellis, Tamara Waite-Santibanez, Russ Spitovsky, Max Kahan, Martin Mazorra, Daniel Albrigo, Eddie Peralta, Sue Jeiven,
