SUMMARY:"Imago Dei" at the Venice Biennale
DESCRIPTION:Luz Art proudly announces the presentation of “Imago Dei” at the Venice Biennale\, running from July 1st to July 21st\, 2024. This distinguished group exhibition will delve into the profound theme of creation\, offering diverse interpretations of the image of God. The curated selection of artworks will reflect on the divine essence of individuality and our unique status as created beings. \nThe exhibition will feature an impressive lineup of artists\, including Mark Hernandez\, Debbie Clark\, Mindi Oaten\, Rachel Neikirk\, Marguerite Anglin\, Kathryn Yarbrough\, Heather Strazza\, Katie Babb\, Katharine Ward\, Wayne Forte\, Muriel Kom\, and Sandra Bowden. \nArtistic creation is deeply rooted in our divine connection to God. The term “Imago Dei” encapsulates this concept\, emphasizing humanity’s ability to forge identities and transform ideas into tangible art. This process mirrors God’s creation narrative in Genesis – a cycle of observation\, reflection\, planning\, and manifesting the intangible. Our creative gift enables us to participate in this divine process\, inviting God’s presence and honoring Him through our artistic endeavors. \nThe International Fine Art Fund\, a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to the development and promotion of sacred artworks\, proudly supports this exhibition. \n  \nImago Dei\nGod says in Genesis 1:26\, “Let Us make man in Our image\, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth\, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” In the creation narrative of Genesis\, it is clear that God makes a distinction between His creation of humanity and everything else He creates. God uniquely creates mankind in His own image. If humans are made in the image of God then we have inherent value bestowed on us by our Creator. If we posses God’s likeness then we are to live in a way that reflects His loving and righteous character. Being like God\, He has gifted mankind with the authority to rule and steward His other creations. The beginning of our story shows us God’s original intention for us and it also shows us how the first humans used our free will to choose what God never intended for us. \nIn Genesis 2:16-17\, God gives the first man a command to not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil because death would be the result. Eve\, tempted by the serpent gave some of the forbidden fruit to her husband Adam and they rebelled against God together. Humanity was expelled from Eden but\, not left without hope. It was the beginning of the longing for the One that would restore humanity to its rightful place. The paradise that was lost in Adam has been found in God’s Son\, Jesus Christ. Adam introduced sin and death into the human condition. Jesus introduced everlasting life by His death on the cross and resurrection from the dead. He will save all those who repent and trust in Him. The Apostle Paul says In Romans 5:17\, “For if by the transgression of the one\, death reigned through the one\, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One\, Jesus Christ.” \n-Eric Turcott\, Principal Theologian \n

SUMMARY:Lucha Libre
DESCRIPTION:Step into “LUCHA LIBRE\,” an evocative exhibition by artist Mark Hernandez that intertwines culture and scripture. Drawing inspiration from the vibrant tradition of lucha libre\, this collection transforms the ring of life into a canvas of spiritual warfare\, inviting viewers to engage with profound biblical narratives. Mark harnesses the energy and symbolism of lucha libre—an emblem of resilience—to illuminate the spiritual battles we all face. Each artwork serves as a visual allegory\, reflecting the fierce journey of faith\, where the stakes are high and the spirit of lucha embodies the fight for inner strength and divine connection.\n\nThis exhibition encourages audiences to explore their personal struggles through the lens of spirituality. Mark invites viewers to confront their spiritual wrestling matches\, fostering an intimate dialogue with God and a deeper understanding of their faith. The vibrant colors and dynamic forms celebrate Hispanic heritage while reminding us of the transformative power of belief. Join us in the spirit of “LUCHA LIBRE\,” and let these works inspire you to embrace your own journey of spiritual warfare\, urging you to rise\, reflect\, and reclaim your strength in the divine narrative.

SUMMARY:"Eden Restored" - Rachel Neikirk
DESCRIPTION:Luz Art NYC presents “Eden Restored” artist Rachel Neikirk.\nIn this exhibition “Eden Restored” silk painter Rachel Neikirk presents heaven as a glorious\, global garden. She draws upon tree and garden metaphors from throughout the Bible\, especially in Genesis\, Revelation\, and the Gospels. Jesus is the Gardener and Vinedresser of a multifaceted garden containing stunning flora and fauna from twelve regions of the earth. The twelve regions refer to the twelve gemstones and twelve kinds of fruit born by the Tree of Life in Revelation 21-22. Within the gardens are men and women representing a restored Adam and Eve from the nations of the earth\, abiding in Jesus the Vine. The seven-foot-tall silk paintings fill the room\, inviting everyone to get lost in imagining the glory that is to be revealed in the new heavens and the new earth. \n  \n\n

SUMMARY:GV635[vs] Divoratori
DESCRIPTION:GV635[vs] Divoratori\nAn artistic project by Valeria Fondi\nCreated in 2014\, GV635[vs] Divoratori is a photographic project by Italian artist Valeria Fondi\, exploring the theme of spiritual hunger through a series of deeply symbolic and three-dimensional images\, inspired by chapter 6 of John’s gospel. The visual journey investigates various forms of inner emptiness and hollow religiosity that\, while appearing to offer spiritual solutions\, fail to nourish the soul or bring it peace. The photographs confront modern dependencies — wealth\, the obsession with luxury\, and media idolatry — ultimately portraying the extreme consequences of an unquenched hunger: disorientation\, isolation\, and madness. \nThe project culminates in two images inspired by the Song of Songs\, where a woman\, exhausted and seated in the shadows with open hands\, surrenders after a long and futile search. It is in the heart of the night that she encounters Jesus\, the Bridegroom of her soul. Her face\, darkened by mud — a symbol of sin’s obscuration — is illuminated as Christ draws near. A living flame glows in her eyes\, the sign of revelation beginning to take hold within her. That light is Christ\, the Redeemer of her soul — the one who nourishes and brings peace to all who earnestly seek Him. \n⸻ \nArtist Biography\nValeria Fondi is an Italian artist and author whose creative journey began shortly after high school with the study of Scripture. A profound encounter with the Gospel has left an indelible mark on her life and motivated her to passionately explore foundational biblical principles\, which now form the core of her artistic expression. \nFrom this spiritual exploration have emerged various projects\, including the poetry collection Blooming Love and the photographic cycle GV635[vs] Divoratori\, a series focused on the soul’s hunger. This visual project debuted in 2014 at Open Art House in Ivrea\, and is now being presented for the first time in the United States at Luz Art Gallery in New York. In 2015\, she published the artistic manifesto The Language of Heaven\, a reflection on the urgency of using contemporary visual language to transform Italy’s collective imagination around the figure of Christ. The text is enriched with contributions from artists of the SVA group in Milan\, with whom she collaborated for several years. \nBefore moving to Venice\, she published her first biblical study book\, Face to Face with the King\, in which she describes twelve one‑to‑one encounters between Jesus and ordinary men and women\, each conveying a spiritual principle from His Kingdom. She is currently working on her first novel\, dedicated to the spiritual realm and the language of the Spirit.
