The Word as Image at the Abraham Art Gallery in Texas

PLAINVIEW DAILY HERALD
By Gail Williams

The inscription above Christ’s head in "It Is Finished" reads,
"Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews," written in Hebrew, Greek and Latin.

TEXAS---The written word began as pictographs, or drawings, an art form in and of itself. Artist Sandra Bowden recognizes the beauty of text and brings together ancient manuscripts, musical images and statuary along with her own special touches to portray Christian concepts. Bowden served 14 years as president of Christians in the Visual Arts (CIVA). The Abraham Art Gallery on Wayland Baptist University campus presents “Words as Image; the Art of Sandra Bowden,” beginning Monday, Aug. 12, and running through Oct. 3. [link]
