If it is the artist’s role to trouble the comfortable and comfort the troubled, then the Black Madonna may be considered the artist’s patron saint. She is a beacon of the defenseless and the defiant, the cast-aside and the changed. As our century speeds ahead, The Postmillenial Black Madonna Exhibition will give new focus to the troublemakers and the troubled- and their defender, the mesmerizing Triple Goddess of Creation, Preservation and Destruction, who promises that beyond the Inferno waits Paradise, and beneath Paradise burns the Inferno.
