Canopies Sustained By Their Own Logic >>> Dome Artwork by Carol Prusa
“Connection is fleeting. A pregnant belly distends towards a potential big bang. Macro and micro scales collide in intimate exchanges. The chaotic abyss rebounds. There are no answers but you feel infinitely generous. (all states are becoming and disintegrating) My constructed domes are provocative symbols that invoke the idea of the universe and physical objects that allude to real-life structures. In my “canopies,” I explore a number of mathematical models that physicists developed to explain our universe. The mathematics of ...

At The Cusp of Occultist Illusionism >>> David Chaim Smith Artwork
“I begin my images by externalizing and translating my inner contemplative process through the manufacture of esoteric equations which are worked out in notebooks before the drawings are started. This material assumes form through many methods common to occultists; the play of sacred geometry, imagistic evocation, the permutation of divine names, and writing out my intentions directly in literary form. All this is the seed from which my pictures arise. It takes root in the womblike space of the paper and ...

Karyn Crisis’ Witches, Shamans, and Bitches Artwork >>> Brave Initiates On The Path To Self-Discovery
“I’ve been obsessed with the idea of “inner darkness” as a power source and with facing it as a process of self-acceptance en route to enlightenment. This obsession brought me to a path of mysticism, on which I discovered the “inner demon’s” role as teacher and guide to empowerment through self-knowledge, innate wisdom, and working towards balance. Through my art and music I express this darkside, the power within it, and the controversial beauty therein by using the language of ...

ReBuilt >>> Physical Elements Interact with the Digital World As Bodies Distort an Architectural Space
Some more interesting work by belgium-based artist Jefta. “Taking possession of a space put at our disposal and deconstructing it through the use of different digital techniques (such as photography, videography, programming, and video-projection) in order to do some aesthetical research in what might at first sight seem un-aesthetical because of its chaotic or vehement characteristics. Building on the idea that physical elements interact with the digital world, the audience’s bodies are invited to distort an architectural space. In ...

“I ask myself how we have arrived at this point where dreams are not explored, imaginations are not encouraged and so many folks go through life with blinders on?” >>> Visionary Paintings by Chuck E. Bloom
“Before the painting is finished, the vision is already fading to memory. I can only hope that I’ve understood enough of the message to help me further along this tiresome trek. My ultimate goal is walk right into one of my canvases and never return, but the door opens and the door closes in the blink of an eye. the barriers are endless and the map I followed getting here is torn and unreadable. Perhaps I’ve pretended to know where ...

Shamanic Skin >>> The Art of Magical Tattoos
COURTESY // LARS KRUTAK-TATTOO ANTHROPOLOGIST IT HAS BEEN ESTIMATED that 500 years ago perhaps 1,000 indigenous cultures practiced tattooing. Today, most of these groups have completely vanished from the face of the earth, and only a few continue to persist in the remote hinterlands of Asia, South America, Africa, Melanesia, and Polynesia. Only fragments of this once rich heritage of body art remain in our modern world, but they allow us to gain a glimpse of a culture that connected ...

Women of the Animal Fauna World >>> Max Walter Svanberg Surrealist Artwork
I love the native, indigenous feeling to the work of Max Walter Svanberg. His inspirations are mostly unknown, but he seemed to have an affinity for, like many surrealists of his time, african tribal masks. Combining this with images of animal women hybrids, some of his artwork is reminiscent of shamanic rituals whereby a shaman embodies an animal spirit for visionary or healing purposes. Whatever the meaning, his imaginings delve deep into the notions of consciousness telling its stories through ...

Peter Jellitsch Drawings >>> Geometrical Performances of Virtual Space
“In my handdrawings I am not interested in depicting something that I`ve seen in the real world, my interest lies in transforming something that I`ve seen in the virtual world. mostly I try to figure out, how simulation and animation programs are trying to help us understand how complex processes happen. (but do they?) Since mankind is interested in reality and understanding the world, he produces models of this world. He refer, describes, explains, creates drawings, writings, paintings in which ...

Where Patterns of New York City and South American Indigenous Converge >>> Dorian Gourge’s ADAHY Series
“This project emerged from the crossing of two major experiences that happened in 2010, after 2 trips, one in New York City, and an other one in South America. The careful observation of the dark lines, of the wide range of grey tones and imposing volumes that build the architectural concerto of New York City produces a sort of visual trance, and some new shapes are laid out through the imaginative process. The geometries built up by the different trajectories ...
