Artists discover their inspiration in exceptional places, and retired Atlantic Union College art professor Roger Preston found his at the Museum of Russian Icons.
Preston's exhibition of twelve, small-scale, devotional paintings opening October 1, 2009 at a gala reception, 4-7pm at the Museum of Russian Icons is inspired by the Museums collection of more than 350 icons and will represents the first contemporary display since the Museums opening in 2007. The opening reception will include remarks by Atlantic Union College President Norman L. Wendth at 5:30pm, followed by Museum CEO Kent dur Russell, with a tour of the exhibition by the artist at 6pm.
These Festival icons, or those reflecting significant feasts of the Orthodox Church, reflect the traditional craft, themes and structure of this sacred Russian art form. The paintings merge traditional tempera on wood techniques with contemporary mixed mediaincluding computer generated drawings to create a fresh, modern look at devotional works intended to inspire and reflect deeply-held and personal spiritual beliefs.
This first contemporary exhibition launches a new program of working with artists interested inand their interpretation of the Museum of Russian Icons collected works.
Preston commented, "The museum creates a wonderful setting to develop creative ideas mutually intended for the artist as well for an observers artistic viewing pleasure of both the icons and the building."
The Modern Icons, Ancient Inspiration exhibition will continue through November 21, 2009.
