ADSUM: CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS ON IGNATIAN SPIRITUALITY
JUNE 17 - AUGUST 7
Paintings that focus on the life and spiritual exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus will be on display in the Community Gallery of the Saint Louis University Museum of Art. Adsum: Contemporary Paintings on Ignatian Spirituality begins with a reception on Friday, June 17 from 5:30 - 8 p.m. The exhibition continues until August 7.
The 25-paintings in the exhibition are the work of Holly Schapker. Large oils on canvas - the Montserrat Landscape, the largest, is 6’ x 4,’ Adsum includes unique textures created by actual maps, leaves, or twigs. "Not a word that is well translated in the English language, 'Adsum' means being in a state of mind where the person is completely available and willing to serve God," says Schapker. "These paintings represent my interpretation of the mission of St. Ignatius Loyola, and (the paintings) have taken me almost three years to complete. They incorporate all I know and feel about life as a Catholic and as an artist."
