Punks and Monks Part 2 (Monks)

On the surface, Colorado Springs Artist and Orthodox monk Luke Shaffer would seem to be the embodiment of spiritual contradiction. On the one hand, hes a bona fide tonsured monk in the Orthodox tradition. On the other hand, hes a child of American pop culture who continues to draw and paint the rock n roll icons of his youth alongside the monks and icons of his faith.

In this second installment of a two-part audio slide show (to watch part 1: Punks, click HERE), Shaffer talks about the paintings, drawings and icons hes created of the monks and saints who changed his life.

Shaffers work will appear at the Rubbish Gallery from January 8 29.
