9 to 22 October
Signal Arts Centre is delighted to present this body of work which explores not the opposing – seemingly incompatible – views of science, religion, theology, and spirituality, but the areas where they intersect and overlap. The exhibition consists of two bodies of work; drawings and watercolours, and encaustic paintings.
The drawings and watercolours series explores the connection of spirituality, science, and art. It draws on recurring themes in spiritually-influenced art, spanning different times and belief systems. From Tantric Hindu Art to Celtic Insular Art, from Islamic Golden Age architecture to 20th Century geometric abstract art, from Ancient Egypt to the European Renaissance religious paintings, geometry is used time and again by artists to explore and portray that which cannot be seen and can only be felt.
The series of encaustic paintings are multi-faceted, enchanting, and magnetic; representative of all things and no one thing. They capture the oneness of all existence, of creation, conception, birth, death, fleeting moments of absolute clarity and pure consciousness, epiphanies, brainwaves, awakenings. They simultaneously depict atoms, amoebae and galaxies. They are at once cellular and universal, capturing both divinity and flawed humanity.
