'Fear Naught But God' by Edward Knippers
Monday, October 20th, 2008
‘Fear Naught But God’ is a suite of black and white woodcut block prints by artist Edward Knippers. The prints are paired first with a serious Biblical narrative, then with a more playful circus subject. This is similar to medieval morality plays with clowns and minstrels making commentary on serious themes. “The exhibitions are a way,” Knippers says, “of countering the current trend in the visual arts of ignoring or denigrating religious themes. The human body is an essential element in the Christian doctrines of Creation, Incarnation, and Resurrection. God sees us as we are. The best metaphor for that is the nude body.” The exhibit will be on display at White Stone Gallery through November 9. There will be an opening reception on Friday, October 3, 7-9 p.m. White Stone Gallery is located at 4219 Main Street, Manayunk in Philadelphia.
