Ken Jan Woo, is a highly talented Chinese born artist who created the magnificent icons at the Our Savior's Church in New York City. His icon of
St. John is one of the best I've ever seen. Too many artists make St. John look like a little girl. Woo's St. John is a young man. I also love his
St. Joan of Arc , his
St. Augustine of China and his
Blessed Mother Teresa. The next time I'm in New York I will definitely take a cab to see the church and to look at the icons of
Our Lord and the painting of
Our Lady. There is so much lousy religious art on the market and in our churches that we really need to support beauty and talent when we find it.
