FRANK CRAVEN
Current Gallery: transcendent ( piece)
Spiritual symbols such as Mandalas have been used for spiritual, emotional and physical healing and meditation. Transcendent Gallery is a place of reaching into the soul for a tasty nugget of philosophy. A wet paint brush attacks a canvas and Voila: answers are revealed to questions that are stil formulating and not articulated. An artist is creating images from a subconscious stimulous that nags at a willing being who will splash colors upon a canvas. Deep rooted queries from a curious spirit needs expression and resolution, to the conflicted morass of weirdness that obfuscates reality and makes thinking a task versus a joy ride...art can alliviate the pain and bring joy, humor and a sense of satisfaction to the trite angst of worthyness and seeking a sense of worthyness to a complicated experiment of life in the universe. Mastery over the canvas is a painful/pleasureable journey that artists embark upon, in a quest to satisfy a souls journey upon the physical plane of existence. If the result actually stands up in time, as an ongoing piece that continues to serve a space needing fullfillment, but often the act itself is a therapeutic splash, with little life span as the work is discarded into oblivion. Ofcourse, each painting longs to find a famous place on museum walls with an adoring fan club lalagagging over it...but more often than not, the act of painting is simply an enjoyable past time and the resultant work is prized for only a few moments afterwar. Even fabulous masterpieces, like good music that fades in fads of popular opinion, the life span of anything is subject to change. Although I adore the Cistine Chapel, for instance, that angelic kingdom as depicted by Michelangelo it is as real to me,as Dr. Seuss sketches of the Grinch ha ha ha. I can admire the handiwork and craftmanship, but my need to explore the cosmic light in between life times is answered by my work and perhaps in time, my masterpieces will be also regarded as childs play fantasy that has little bearing on the reality of afterlife...as we are all evolving beings. His work indeed answered his quest then, and my work answers my quest now... but lo and behold, how we will percieve these things five hundred years from now and ofcourse the evolution of our beings will regard my "modern" works as simplistic and primitive. Atleast I surmise that to become the case, as energy and change is a constant... I & you often change our minds about something and that shift is where we want to go in this TRANSCENDENT gallery.
