Icons aren’t meant to illustrate or to decorate, but to represent the Divine in a way that beckons the viewer—they are most popular in Orthodox churches where they form a part of the religious worship service.
In monasteries, the artist herself says she found ancient wisdom and contemporary icons painted in the classical style.
“The icons were like a window to God,” she says.
This exhibition is not about icons, but shows how the Icon has inspired artist Ludmila Pawlowska’s (Pa-luv-ska) creative vision.
She says her fascination with Icons is the deep sensitivity they radiate--- they have a spiritual power which comes from the Icon itself, a kind of light.
She says to create and capture light has always been the most difficult and greatest challenge to artists throughout the centuries.
This exhibition is her attempt to capture it in her own way.
About 150 works will be on display, including a few traditional icons from the Vasilevsky monastery.
Though it has toured both Europe and the United States, this is the first time the exhibition has been shown in Indiana.
Ludmila Pawlowska was born in 1964 in Karaganda/Kazakhstan, a former Soviet Republic with Ukraine roots.
Her maiden name was a typical Ukrainian name, Vassilchenko and she moved to study at the Art Academy in Moscow at the age of 14. She moved to Sweden 30 years ago.
She married a Swedish man, a lute player, and he manages the exhibition. They have dedicated this tour of her work to the people of Ukraine.
