The Biblical story of Lot is the theme of Gerry Snyder’s multi-panel oil paintings. The tale of Lot and his family occurs in Genesis and includes the well-known story of Sodom and Gomorrah. But there are other details to the Lot narrative that are not so widely remembered-themes dealing with incest, for example, that challenge traditional social and family values. Snyder’s series reads like storyboard vignettes or comic book cells, suggesting a cinematic presentation akin to contemporary filmmaking or television.

Formerly the Dean of Academic Affairs at the Pacific Northwest College of Art (Portland), Snyder is a professor of art and the chair of the Art Department at the College of Santa Fe. His work was featured in the Whitney Biennial in 2002.
