Sacred Symbol. Sacred Art.
Jonathan Pageau
Thursday, February 5, 7:30pm
Joanne & Peter Kenny Theatre

The rediscovery of ancient Christian symbolism and the worldview which flows from the web of its analogies can be a source of new life for the Christian artist. This symbolism is not only present in the content and message, but in the forms, the mediums and the very uses of art. Christian art can be a true and honest engagement within the contemporary world, one which neither ignores the visual and conceptual revolutions of the last centuries nor attempts to paste the Christian message on forms and aesthetics which negate this very message. 

 

Jonathan Pageau is an icon carver and writer for The Orthodox Arts Journal.
