"Milagros"
Contreras Gallery - 2010
AUGUST 4 through 28
This exhibition is based on the Ex-Voto style of painting, with
European and Hispanic origins.
This is a guest artist event, with over 16 Ex-Votos and Retablos
Ex-Voto, taken from Latin, (ex voto
suscepto) meaning: "from the vow made".
Ex-Votos can be a variety of offerings,
to saints, The Virgin Mary, or The Trinity.
Contreras Gallery features the most
popular of the offerings, which are especially produced in Mexico.
They are the hand painted votives
on metal plates, offered in gratitude, and devotion for the fulfillment
of a personal vow.
