IMPRINTS, a group show and Richard Vargas' GOD'S COMICS
The IMPRINTS exhibit invites us to journey into experiences that leave lasting impressions as we reflect upon memories that have the power to both hold us captive and set us free. Be they traumatic or cathartic, these imprints stay with us and leave us changed. From birth to death there are myriad events, some small and some monumental, that change who we are and how we see the world. IMPRINTS speak to the happenings that, although personal, are also human and universal: love, fear, triumph and grief.
In conjunction, MAC is excited to present Richard Vargas’ GOD'S COMICS–a compelling collection of powerful work that comments on religion, and the history of art, while incorporating both personal and universal signs and symbols. “I’m trying to embrace my frailty as man and religion as my crutch,” says Vargas. “The ocean represents the depths of the unknown, but it’s also All-Knowing,” he continues. Confronting concepts such as salvation and the inevitability of death, Vargas’ paintings are one man’s deep dive into existential contradictions.
