"St. Sebastian: 1530 to 2011" Exhibition
Edelman Arts
This event has ended.
Cutting edge artists juxtapose renown sixteenth century Titian masterpiece in Edelman Arts' provocative exhibition St. Sebastian 1530 – 2011.
This inspiring exhibition explores a fresh perspective of St. Sebastian from the Renaissance to the present. St. Sebastian, the universal icon and figure, came into prominence as a visual canon in the early Renaissance as the bound, sensuously semi-nude figure impaled with Roman arrows. This exhibition is anchored by Titian’s portrait from c. 1530, a striking illustration of the artist’s virtuosic abilities to work with light and color to infuse St. Sebastian with life and emotion. In direct view of Titian’s masterpiece are contemporary depictions of St. Sebastian by Doug Argue, Red Grooms, Carlos Betancourt, Eric Rhein, Marcia Grostein, Cynthia Karalla, Cathy McClure, Michael Murphy and Christopher Winter.
