"An angel is defined as
"a ministering spirit or divine messenger; and of an order of spiritual beings
superior to man in power and intelligence." -- Oxford Dictionary
The paintings in this
exhibition of "Angels: A Celestial Visitation", continue my ongoing search for
beauty and truth, a personal vision of love and purity in human form.
Influenced by Medieval and Renaissance Art, I am challenged to explore the
possibilities and variations of angelic forms in modern terms. Through the
pictorial tools of color. pattern, light and space, each painting gives birth on
canvas to a unique transformative experience for this artist, guided by the
divine hand and an inner vision of these celestial beings.
"The image
of the Angel in art emerges from a creative interplay between traditional
canons-----and the personal vision of the artist.....In the resonances created
by this paradox, the Angel reveals itself." --- Peter Lamborn Wilson,
Angels, Thanes and Hudson , 1980 , p.28.

Art and Text
has its framework in conceptual art or idea, a form of contemporary expression
in which concepts or ideas take precedence over traditional aesthetic and
material concerns, where images may be reliant upon text—actual or implied. By
emphasizing the symbiotic relationship between image and words, works will be
diverse in nature, yet to the viewer, perceptibly united by the tangibility of
faith.
