Primordial Spirit: Transcendence of Duality
“A harmonious dance of opposites is found in chaos and order, light & darkness, spirit & matter. Primal forces exist in a dynamic interplay, constantly seeking the embrace of their complementary counterparts. This cosmic synergy, and union of opposites finds resonance within the human psyche, which is a microcosm reflecting the macrocosm.”
The Joan Hisaoka Healing Arts Gallery at the Smith Center for Healing and the Arts is pleased to host the exhibition Primordial Spirit: Transcendence of Duality. This solo show features the works of Blake Pierre, a multidisciplinary artist born in Shreveport, LA and raised in Prince George's County Maryland. This exhibition will open on Friday, March 28th, with an Opening Reception from 6-9 pm.
Primordial Spirit: Transcendence of Duality explores the transformative journey of spiritual development through shadow integration and the sacred union of spirit & matter; integrating opposites into a singular, enlightened whole. Interweaving concepts from ancient alchemical wisdom, Jungian psychology, Hieros Gamos, and, ancient near eastern cosmology, Pierre illustrates the soul’s path toward wholeness and self-realization offering a map for our own journey toward full consciousness.
The exhibition reflects the cyclical nature of spiritual growth & transcendence of duality. As the soul undergoes transformation it experiences illumination, embodying the path to wholeness. Primordial Spirit, motif represents the divine light that emerges from this union within, guiding the soul beyond physical limitation toward spiritual fulfillment. Through this journey of divine harmony and integration, Primordial Spirit invites viewers to witness the soul’s transformative path to ultimate wholeness, offering a deeper understanding of transformation, and divine purpose.
Blake Pierre is deeply engaged in the study of spiritual growth and the study of the conscious and subconscious mind as it relates to self-actualization and spiritual ascension. Study of such constantly informs his artistic practice and influences the mood of his art.
