"The word “icon” is derived from the Greek “eikon” meaning image. The term “cultural icon” is defined in modern popular culture as a person or thing widely acknowledged as having a “depth of significance” or “star quality.” As such, cultural icon images can function as symbols depicting the underlying ideas and values of a society. These symbols represent our dreams and passions and ultimately influence personal choices throughout our everyday lives. Historically, Early Christian artists painted the first icons. These small paintings were utilized by the Church to illustrate religious concepts and inspire faith. Icons of today do exactly the same thing but not just in religion. They are used by a multitude of social forces – entertainment, business, politics and sports. This exhibit represents the cultural icon as a major motivating force in society. Included are iconic figures from the worlds of art, automobiles and motorcycles. The American flag, a famous outlaw figure and a football team are also included. These paintings focus on our culture’s desire for personal satisfaction, freedom, individuality, power and success." --Lory Lockwood 2007
