In charting consciousness with abstract forms, each of these four artists extends the lineage of Swedish painter Hilma af Klint. Her quiet and vivid images of mystical geometry, floating elements and occasional figurative imagery cast a view of an astral world imbued with an awareness of the ordinary and material. The struggle between opposites was the path - and power - of her otherworldly paintings. Complex and often diagrammatic, her depictions of an expanded sense of space and time produce a transcendent aura that stands as a timely alternative to current social driven ideologies.
Spatial orientation and concepts of time determine one's relationship to nature, to knowledge and to other beings. One's world view is greatly influenced by the guiding forces of our choosing; whether one steers by the stars, cryptic glyphs, images in a memory palace, or radio wave driven GPS. Like Hilma af Klint, the artists in Stargazing are oriented by things other than conventional radar.
