KANSAS---Guests of the Shafer Gallery will have the opportunity to observe works inspired by Christianity by Todd Dayton-Fox as well as an artistic interpretation of the stations of the cross by Reverend Richard Vettel-Becker at the “Signs of the Passion” exhibit’s opening reception from 6-8 p.m. Thursday, March 7 in the Shafer Art Gallery, which will include music, refreshments and gallery talks from the artists. Shafer Gallery Director Dave Barnes said Dayton-Fox’s work presents an interesting non-traditional take on religious art. “He takes a really different approach, and he uses a style called surrealism,” he said. “His work is very creative and imaginative, and I love when an artist gives full sway to their imagination.” Vettel-Becker is an Episcopal priest and his contribution to the exhibit will present a unique, personal and colorful rendition of the traditional Stations of the Cross.
