Joseph Kabriel
Nature's Spiritual Transcendance
This show is about using paint and space
to find a quiet inner space. It's about dialog between the artist and
nature. Seeking a path that fulfills both an artistic need and
spiritual journey that connects harmoniously with something bigger
than ourselves.
Joseph Kabriel, artist / teacher, has show
extensively in juried shows through out the mid-Atlantic region
since 1989. He has created a series of paintings of rocks. They are,
for him, a perception of time as a natural force. His compositions are
of a plunging perspective, without a vanishing point, creating a
shallow space of lively interactive shapes and colors.
" Spiritually, some believe that
rocks contain truths and under the right conditions these truths can
be set free, providing personal enlightenment. Natural forces shape
not only rocks but us too. And like stones on a beach, we harbor this
energy until one day when we may choose to release these truths."
A simple subject, rocks, have an appeal in
their size, weight color shape texture or as a tool or
building material.
