The Visionary Art of Gil Bruvel
[ text,img source: ursi's blog ]
Gil Bruvel’s visionary style grew out of the dream of making intuitive art. “I have no interest in recreating reality”, he says; instead his work emphasizes the imaginative aspects of the mind and body, along with intuition.
After a childhood spent making art and studying at Laurent de Montcassin’s Restoration Workshop in France, the classically trained Bruvel emerged as a defining force in the Visionary Art Movement.

David Spriggs: Paradox of Power
–
subject: The Paradox of Power
Art Mur Publication May 2007
Text by Andria Hickey
Indeed, all things move, all things run, all things are rapidly changing. A
profile is never motionless before our eyes, but it constantly appears and
disappears. On account of the persistency of an image upon the retina,
moving objects constantly multiply themselves; their form changes like
rapid vibrations, in their mad career. Thus a running horse has not four
legs, but twenty, and their movements are triangular.

” Heidegger described human existence as a process of perpetual falling, and it is the responsibility of each individual to “catch ourselves” from our own uncertainty. My work is in response to this delicate state. It questions what it means to resist the struggle, to simply let go, and the consequences of holding on. The images stand as reminders that we are all vulnerable to losing our footing and grasp, symbolizing the precarious balancing act between the struggle against our desire to survive and our fantasy to transcend our humanness. “
