'Immaculate Conception' the newest painting by Sarah Joncas @sarah_joncas for #BabyMama opening this Friday! ✨ Modern Eden Gallery proudly presents the 6th edition of our portrait show. 'Baby Mama', is inspired by medieval and renaissance religious depictions of the Madonna and Child. A hand-selected lineup of top contemporary figurative artists will bring this archetype into a modern context, using present-day imagery and iconography to put a new twist on the classical icon, and interpreting Madonna and Child through the modern lens. #moderneden #801Greenwich #SF #SarahJoncas (at Modern Eden Gallery)

INSIDE ISSUE 32 // WHAT MESSAGE ARE YOU SHARING WITH YOUR AUDIENCE WITH YOUR REIMAGINING OF RENAISSANCE WORKS? I’m trying to convey that we are more similar than we are different. I try my best to free anyone who is willing to listen. I ask, ‘Why do we continue to allow others to hide our identities?’ Renaissance paintings have been defined by society as priceless and untouchable. These depictions of traditional beauty are white and exclusionary. I’ve always looked at those paintings and asked, ‘What about me? What about people of colour?’ Our story and our beauty can be just as beautiful as what the institution says is priceless and untouchable."

INSIDE ISSUE 32 // THE HAPPY, DANCING PEOPLE! THE COLOURS! THE BALLOONS, JELLIES AND CANDIES! THE DOGS AND OTHER ANIMALS! YOUR WORK HAS AN AMAZING JOY TO IT THAT IS UNMISTAKABLE, SO WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO DECIDE ON THIS OEUVRE WHEN SO MUCH OF THE ART CREATED TODAY PRESENTS A SERIOUS FACE TO THE WORLD? "That is a very good question and I am not sure that I know the answer to it. I would have to describe my childhood and youth as very difficult, at times traumatic. I actually think that that darkness has driven me to want to paint a world that is colourful, light and free. Maybe an insistence on focusing on the beauty in nature and humanity. I think a lot of people see that as trite, but it really comes out of an act of self-preservation for me, not out of a lack of awareness of the horrors of humanity. I am very much aware of those and spend most of my time thinking about them. But it's funny, when it comes to painting, I gravitate toward lightness and pleasure and away from pain. It's a type of therapy for me." Read our exclusive interview with @susannah_martin in Issue 32 of Beautiful Bizarre Magazine.
