“Testament”
Contemporary Narrative Artists Look at Scripture
-- April 2 through June 30, 2013
Artwork copyright © Douglas Klauba
Fourth Presbyterian Church is proud to present “Testament,” a non-juried exhibit of graphic novel and sequential art based on texts from the Bible.
One challenge in approaching traditional narratives is that of immediacy and framing stories that may be ancient in terms that speak to contemporary life. In this exhibition, techniques of modern visual narrative, such as graphic novels and sequential art, are brought to play as a variety of artists take their inspiration from Biblical tales encompassing both Old and New Testaments, from Genesis to the book of Revelation.
This exhibition is an invitation to see old stories made new and to experience the immediacy of these timeless stories.
The exhibit is open to the public from Tuesday, April 2–Sunday, June 30.
