“The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work.” I paint dreamscapes because I truly believe that art is one of those rare things in life, that can truly bring people together. Dreamscape Art beautifies, stimulates, invigorates, and makes us see the world in many different ways.
Permanent Exhibition
The Museum continually displays highlights from its permanent collection. The majority of the Museum’s holdings come from the private collection of Jacques Marchais, formed during the early 1920s through the late 1940s, which include sculptures, thangka paintings, ritual artifacts, musical instruments and historic photographs of Tibet. The Museum’s collection includes objects not only of cultural, historical, and aesthetic interest but also of spiritual significance to the living traditions of Tibetan Buddhism. Special Exhibition The Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art is pleased to open a new exhibition, Tibetan Portrait: The Power of Compassion on March 29, 2009. The purpose of Tibetan Portrait is to heighten visitor’s awareness of Tibet, a mountainous region of the Himalayas. Through portraits, interactive displays, and objects, the exhibition shows the traditions and beliefs of the Tibetan people. The Tibetan Portrait exhibit is about understanding the incredibly rich Tibetan culture and the people who have maintained compassion in the face of tremendous difficulties. It emphasizes cultural understanding and religious tolerance. Tibetan Portrait highlights photographic portraits of Tibetan people by renowned contemporary artist Phil Borges. Borges’ portraits introduce viewers to individuals from a deeply spiritual culture who have been marginalized and displaced by the occupation of their homeland. The portraits range from images of everyday people, including nomads and children, to important historic figures such as the Dalai Lama. Tibetan Portrait also features interactive displays focusing on aspects of traditional Tibetan culture such as a map of Tibet’s changing borders, a moveable display of Himalayan mountains, audio recordings of mantra chanting, and a hands-on display of Jessica Ann Bailey, Creative Director
We created Perfect Empowerment with the intention of offering solutions to assist others in self-empowerment and raising your spirit. It is exactly what we human beings must do — become empowered in order to blossom and serve mankind. The only reason we are here is because we have been blessed with the opportunity to reunite our energy and help one another. I have worked as a graphic designer and textile artist for 30 years, a third of which was spent in the Caribbean, a third traveling in other countries, and the rest in the USA between New York, California and Colorado. Last year the world’s economy purged some truths about how impermanent it all is, and I saw it as an opportunity to change the way I live and create. I gave up all my clients and immersed myself into self reflection, meditation and yoga. I attended an experiential entrepreneurship program called ‘Money and You’ which changed everything for me and that allowed me the courage and strength to reach for my dreams and do exactly what I was meant to do.
Lawrence Alma Tadema Although Alma Tadema specialized in scenes from ancient Greece and Rome, he also painted several scenes set in ancient Egypt, including the present work, which was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1874. Drawn from the Old Testament’s Book of Genesis, it depicts Joseph seated on a throne in his role as the Pharaoh’s overseer of the royal granaries, a scribe working on the floor next to him, carefully counting each piece of grain. Alma Tadema based the ancient Egyptian decorations and accoutrements in his picture on actual artifacts. Maxfield Parrish
Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, he was the son of painter and etcher Stephen Parrish. He began drawing for his own amusement as a child. His given name was Frederick Parrish but he later adopted the maiden name of his paternal grandmother, Maxfield, as his middle name, and later as his professional name. His father was an engraver and landscape artist, and young Parrish’s parents encouraged his talent. He attended Haverford College,the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and Drexel Institute of Art.
April 27, 2009 (El Cajon)—“In my work, I try to evoke a séance of peace and happiness,” artist Alex Toporovsky told East County Magazine. “These are usually things which are lacking in most people’s lives, including my own. We are all so busy running around and trying to make a living these days. I feel that my paintings are sort of a dreamscape where most people would love to run away, too, to find peace of mind. I try to take people to that place, to escape for a while, and get refreshed before doing the daily grind.” read more… |
