Is that baby Jesus a Cabbage Patch Kid reaching for Mary’s arms? Why, yes, yes, it is. Expect a wide range of interpretations of iconic imagery from fables, fairy tales, folktales, legends and myths in Fe Gallery’s show called, well, Fables, Fairy Tales, Folktales, Legends, and Myths. The inclusive title encompasses the more than 50 works from local and national artists, including Katrin Auch from the Bay Area, with her digitally composited photograph of a heavenly female Icarus, gracefully plummeting toward the sea in a blink of white feathers and long brown hair in a painterly vignette. There will be frog princes (Traci Owens), dragons (Alison Ye), wolves (Jennifer Clements), fairies (Micah Halverson), Robert Johnson and the devil’s shadow at the crossroads (Sarah Hedlund), as well as the elegant, dramatic chiaroscuro black-and-white self-portrait photographs by New Jersey’s Sharon Covert. By design, this is a legendary show.
