I am parting in a juried show at the Verum Ultimum Gllery in Portland, OR entitled Abstract Catalyst and I am happy to involved. As I prepare to head up there for the opening, I reflect on what Abstract Catalyst means and how important it is. The idea of abstraction as a catalyst for the evolution of Art and indeed consciousness is a belief I have honored for some time. It is essential that Artists and viewers alike embrace the limitless potential Abstraction has to offer for stimulating neurons in different ways, causing subconscious responses that effect the deeper Mind, and a cultimation of universal harmony among life forms. Abstraction opens doors to worlds which do not adhere to our usual perceptions of reality yet call to us intimately on many levels. I wish the gallery and the show luck as we do our respective parts to bring the next evolution of Abstract forward into the world…
