Alvar Gullichsen
Alvar Gullichsen麓s current series is directly concerned with transcultural visual pattern imagery. His advanced, highly personal explorations of this possibly universal geometric language are closely related to his ongoing inquiries into shamanistic, transcendental experiences and traditions. Gullichsen - and others - see these rich geometries as mysterious pathways of knowledge and understanding shared by humans across diverse eras and cultures.
Gullichsen麓s journey of discovery - of re-connection with ancient, even eternal ways of seeing and knowing - is clearly evident in these recent large-scale paintings. Best known for his transcendent surrealist riffs and hilarious social critiques, Gullichsen experienced what he calls "a big-time transition" in which he journeyed to West Africa to find a place to peacefully create without pressure. Once there, a new way of working began to emerge, from semi-abstraction to abstraction.
