A Week Focused on Creative Thinking
[by Thomas Werner]
This is an artists statement from an exhibition at my gallery a few years ago. The only time that I used an artists statement in promoting an exhibition was this one. I came across it again the other day and think that it addresses something essential about our work and wanted to share with with you.
Artist Statement – Gabriela Maj
There once existed an idea that articulated the human capacity for a particular type of transcendental experience. An experience in which nature, at its most fierce, most violent and most monumental would allow for a brief glimpse of the divine. It was an idea that offered the possibility of the most utterly private experience. It was about enlightenment, about the soul and about beauty in its most painful of definitions.
Today we are left with residue. Dead philosophers, old poems.
Nature is harnessed, we are irreverent. These images were created in quiet homage to an old idea.
