In Praise of Pop Culture. Re-Imagined Religious Virgin Mary Statuettes.





Five years ago, I first introduced you to artist Soasig Chamaillard and her "Appartitions", repurposed religious statuettes of the Madonna (a post in which the photos have been recently updated.)



Since that time, the project has been ongoing, despite the controversy over her work, and Soasig has continued to take existing figurines of the Virgin Mary and re-imagine them as pop culture icons like Star Wars' Obi Wan Kenobi, Hello Kitty, Super Mario, Sailor Moon, My Little Pony, A Beauty Pageant Winner, Power Rangers, Vampires, Cowboys and Indians and even Astronauts. They are only getting better. See for yourself.
