RELIGIOUS ARTS | NEWS OF WEEK
ALPHA OMEGA ARTS
By Disney-Britton
"Saint Francis" by Christina Saj is one of the 48 life-size fiberglass sculptures posing in prayer as part of the traveling exhibition, "AMEN--A Prayer for the World.” Saj chose to depict St. Francis of Assisi to honor the efforts of Pope Francis to mend the broken relationships in the world. She is a painter of sacred icons, whose evocative, colorful forms "betray a fascination with geometric abstraction." She is also an A&O INSPIRE ME! Artist of the Month. The exhibition opened this week at New York’s Cathedral of St. John the Divine, and that makes it my NEWS OF WEEK.
