Chris Oh at Sargent’s Daughters

Vignettes repainted by Chris Oh from a highly detailed early northern Renaissance painting transcribe a scene of veneration onto a soccer ball.  In the original 15th century painting, St Anthony honors the Christ child.  Here, he appears like an apparition on another object of worship.  (On view on the Lower East Side at Sargent’s Daughters through March 11th).
