Richard Bolingbroke Exhibition at Visual Aid February 23, 2006

http://www.visualaid.org

Visual Aid is pleased to announce an exhibition titled, "Rituals and Meditations: Watercolors by Richard Bolingbroke." Come view a selection of recent watercolor paintings at our office gallery space, 116 New Montgomery Street, Ste. 640.

As described by the artist, "These paintings are Visual Keys that unfold mysteries. The language that I use expresses meaning that is often hidden, and through the window of the imagination, using processes that allow me to connect with my inner reality, these paintings explore some of the paradoxical and magical aspects of life.

"Using objects that have personal meaning for me, such as stones collected from beaches around the world, dead leaves found while out walking, colored glass bowls, thorns from the Black Locust tree, and in the latest work, bones and skulls, I play with creating a compostion that is potent and charged. This process has become ritualistic for me, in that I imbue it with the power to delve into the unconscious.
"These paintings are an effort to open myself to this vision of a universe both seen and unseen, and to create a balance by the interplay of the dynamic energetic forces that abound in nature, rather than the stasis that our mind clings to - hoping for security and control.

There are 10 paintings on view in this exhibition through the month of February. Artworks are available for sale depending on availability. Hours are Monday through Friday, 10am-6pm.
