Exhibition Statement: 

Emptiness has been a word with many meanings, aspects and feelings from different viewpoints, in various cultures. Cambridge vocabulary uses “not sincere”, “sad feeling”, and “a state with no emotion or purpose” for emptiness, while in Buddhism it is called “the true nature of things and events.” 

 

Lao Tzu in Tao Te Ching artistically quotes: “We mold clay into a pot, but it is the emptiness inside that makes the vessel useful.”

 

While a western view of emptiness often seems to be negative, in some eastern philosophies, it represents a state of stillness and placidity to see through the illusion, which represents the “mirror of the universe” and the “pure mind”.

My painting, "Boketto 12", is included in the Biafarin Exhibition Catalogue for the online "Emptiness" Exhibition.....

I am delighted to be exhibiting "Sunrise After The Storm", a oil painting in the Spirit Light Series, at the Lone Tree Art Expo.

 

Art is a vehicle for exploring the exterior and interior landscape of our existence on this planet. "After the Storm" is one of twelve paintings, in “Spirit Light” series. This painting is an exploration of the morning light just before sunrise when stillness permeates the landscape. In many religious traditions, sunrise is a time of prayer and quiet reflection. A time of transformation. I share my contemplation.
