A new LDS artist coming onto the scene is Mark Mabry. Unlike Mormon artist Arnold Friberg, who uses a paint brush, Mabry uses photographer to create his art.
The is exhibit is called Reflections of Christ and has been at the LDS visitors center in Mesa, Arizona for the past nine months or so. Like Friberg, Mabry is from Phoenix and got his start doing commercial work.
The traveling exhibit is in the Boise State student Union builder September 8th-14th. Then for the Mormon church’s general conference it will come to Salt Lake City, Utah.
Although the photos were not commissioned by the Mormon church, a book is being published under the LDS owned publishing company Deseret Book.
I’m sure the exhibit will come under great scrutiny from many members of the Mormon church and other Christian churches just like when Arnold Friberg’s picture of The Book of Mormon caused controversy. But I believe that this revolutionary art will play an important role in teaching people that Mormons are Christians.
