If It Please You Lord
Keith Achepohl

January 28, 2017 - May 20, 2017
Main Gallery

Get a glimpse into the intimate world of ex-votos with Keith Achepohl's fascinating exhibition If it Please You Lord. Featuring dozens of works on paper, as well as a selection of the ex-votos that inspired them, this exhibition presents an entirely unique look into the most powerful human emotions. Often taking the form of a flat embossed metal sheet that represents either a plea for help to a saint or divinity, or one's gratitude for an answered prayer, ex-votos have been an inspiration to Achepohl for over 40 years.

Each work in this series represents a narrative of the imagined journey of the various individuals whose intimate prayers have been answered, and their corresponding beautiful and tender process of giving thanks.
