This CIVA traveling exhibition of icons focuses on the
traditional canon and interpretation of Christian holy images. The work is
defined by a canonical perspective which shows the many variations utilized by
contemporary iconographers within traditional themes. The exhibition examines the historical place of holy images in the Christian tradition
within a modern framework.
The jurors were Xenia Pokrovsky, an internationally recognized Russian
iconographer now living in Massachusetts; John Snogren, iconographer from
Washington, DC; and Jerry Eisley, gallery owner and founder/director of the
Washington Arts Group
