Neo-Pop artist Marilyn Artus is pissed-off at how "my" Roman Catholic Church dominates women, and on Good Friday she will make her point with a new portrait, "The Lady of Nazareth Chose to Play Along." This new portrait of the Virgin Mary is a statement of protest of what Artus considers infringement of women’s rights by the Catholic Church and of many prominent conservatives.
The portrait will be unveiled at the AKA Gallery in Oklahoma City, Okla. on Friday, April 6, 2012 (Good Friday). In a press release from her representative, Cory Allen, Artus explains, “My image shows solidarity for the Virgin Mary, not blasphemy."
