In โSUPERCONSCIOUS,โ Jon Gilchrist takes us on a journey that delves into the depths of self-awareness and spiritual awakening. Through his practice of abstract art, the artist invites us to experience a transformative process where the shift from the organic to the structured symbolizes both personal and collective rebirth. Gilchrist employs an impulsive technique charged with energy and spontaneity, seamlessly blended with subtle geometry suggestions. His forms are never definitive but emerge as visual cues, inviting the viewer to complete their meaning. The carefully curated color palette spans an emotional spectrum, ranging from melancholic introspection to the effervescence of discovery. Each hue and tone reflects a shifting mood, echoing the constant quest for balance on the spiritual path.
The exhibition resonates with the energy of the fourth chakra, the heart, considered the bridge between the earthly and the spiritual. From this transformation center, Gilchristโs works become windows to the soul, reminding us of the necessity of seeing the world with fresh eyes and finding new perspectives.
As Marcel Proust once observed: โThe real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.โGilchristโs free and exploratory approach embodies the spirit of transformation and rebirth. The overlapping layers of paint and dynamic textures create an ever-evolving emotional landscape, while the suggested geometry acts as a map guiding us toward a higher state of consciousness. In the words of Rumi: โYou are not on the path; you are the path.โ
โSUPERCONSCIOUSโ stands as a visual manifesto of change and expansion. Each piece invites the viewer to reflect on their journeyโa path that, as Carl Jung wrote, โis not made of external discoveries but of inner voyages.โ This collection represents a pivotal moment in Jon Gilchristโs creative evolution. It is a universal call to look beyond the surface, embrace new beginnings, and awaken to a deeper reality. With โSUPERCONSCIOUS,โ Jon Gilchrist reminds us that art can transform, open windows to the soul, and illuminate our journey of discovering who we are and who we can become.
