Synopsis: Brooklyn-based artist Billie Martineau presents a portfolio of Madonnas and Holy Children, drawn in black ink on wide-ruled paper and photocopied into a staple-bound booklet. Martineau’s illustrations mimic various art historical eras, while adding an unmistakably secular touch. The simplistic outlines and cartoonish expressions of the Virgin and Child bring a hint of sacrilege to the sacred catalogue, reinterpreting holy icons for a mass-produced, instantaneous age.
