Art is a primary vehicle for conveying spiritual and religious experiences, from intense personal insights to the shared stories that help form a community. “Continuum: Figuration and Abstraction in the MOCRA Collection” highlights two general approaches employed by artists to express the religious and spiritual dimensions. Figurative works portray or reference the human body, often with a narrative element. Abstract works don’t attempt to reproduce visual reality. Instead, processes, materials, and colors take on greater importance.The exhibition title, “Continuum,” hints at the fact that many works don’t fit neatly into one category or another, blurring the distinctions between the figurative and the abstract — yet we might encounter the transcendent anywhere along this spectrum.
“Continuum” is on display through December 15, 2024. More info at: https://www.slu.edu/mocra/exhibitions/continuum-gallery-guide.php
