Artist Soasig Chamaillard's depictions of the Virgin Mary shocks French Catholics


Soasig Chamaillard is creating quite a stir in France with her current show at the Albane Gallery located in Nantes. Featuring the Virgin Mary as a Supergirl Mary, a vampire Mary or My Little Pony Mary, the French artist is facing criticisms from the French Catholic Community which called the exhibition "blasphemous" amongst other words...

Chamaillard said to artinfo.com: "Faith should be strong enough to remain unshaken by simple objects. I think they need to step back from the object and not forget that it's an artistic work."

As far as I am concerned, I think these statues look great and the Catholic stupidity can only make me smile...
