| Patrick Dougher's “We are funding our own oppression” (Black Disaster Capitalism III)-Collage/Acrylic on paper- 10” x 10” |
Before
COVID-19 living on
Zoom, we were already collecting faces. Not the awkward photos of
Olan Mills, but impressionistic portraits that reveal an inner significance. We see it daily in the Heinrich Hofmann
print in our Jesus Room, and we saw it this week in the portraits of self-taught artist
Patrick Dougher. His Instagram is loaded with portraits, including recent collages of poised subjects masked with halos reflecting both their personal significance and the significance of this moment.
Patrick Dougher's masked portraits are our
collector tip of the week.

Alpha Omega Prize. It is our annual recognition each November 1st of one artist's impact on religious dialogue in America.
