Christ Church Cathedral, with the support of the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Ohio, is sponsoring a two-month run of Icons in Transformation, a dramatic, large, high-profile, international art show by acclaimed abstract expressionist Ludmila Pawlowska.
The work of the expatriate Russian now living in Sweden is deeply influenced by traditional Eastern Orthodox icons. It's "highly original, in-your-face abstract art with a deeply spiritual feel," says Mike Phillips, who is co-chairing the Cincinnati event with Priscilla Dunn, both members of the cathedral.
There are as many as 180 pieces of Pawlowska's work, plus a collection of 24 traditional icons made by contemporary artists at monasteries in Russia. A portion of sales of any art and voluntary donations will go to the YWCA for a program that benefits girls who are at-risk.
