www.artunseen.com Purpose The primary inspiration for the creation of Art Unseen Studio & Gallery remains resolute. Art Unseen was created to free us from outside influence with regard to our artistic expression. In these turbulent times of fear and insecurity, art is generally seen as a luxury or extravagance and not for what it truly is... an integral component of a healthy society. Fear would dictate that we as artists should change our expression to suit a fickle financial reality, but we beg to differ. It is precisely in times like these, where we need to hold true to who we are, for all else can fall away but here and now we remain. The true relevance of art rests in it remaining true to itself and the artist who created it. And in times of apparent turmoil, only those who possess the will, fortitude, purity of heart and purpose will prevail. I want to believe this to be true. Personally... I would do what I do, express what I express, whether or not financial gain was the end game... and I do. Art Unseen has gone through some changes since it's initial inception but our core principals remain, even as our choice of mediums fluctuate. Whomever said the "medium is the message" is missing the point. The message can be contained within the medium but the message remains what it is. If allowed. Of late, we have acquired a proper SLR Digital Camera to capture the visual world around us and in the not to distant future, photography will become yet another facet of expression at Art Unseen. ~ The boundaries to what can be created are only limited by desire and imagination. ~ Petrus Boots ~ January 29, 2009 e-mail ~ petrus@petrusboots.com |
