RELIGIOUS ART | NEWS OF WEEK

ALPHA OMEGA ARTS NEWS
By TAHLIB

Who would you turn to for a new look on an old story like the Garden of Eden? NYC's Museum of Biblical Art turned to 19 living artists, including Barnaby Furnas for their interpretations in creating the exhibition, "Back to Eden: Contemporary Artists Wander the Garden." The exhibit explores the influences of the Genesis story on artists working today. Dripping wet with fresh color, "The Fruit Eaters" (above) by Barnaby Furnas captures that moment earlier today when a pale toned Adam and Eve ate the golden apples while encircled by a bright red serpent. For those seeking new ways to see old stories, "Back to Eden" (above) is my NEWS OF WEEK.
