SUMMARY:Sacred Vedic Mandalas And The Spell Of Beyond Knowing: Work By Melissa Forbes
DESCRIPTION:About The Exhibit\n\nThrough September 13\, 2014 \n\nMelissa has been a student and teacher of yoga for over twenty years and studied the art of Vedic Yantras in India. This exhibition features her drawings and paintings as well as her sacred vedic mandalas and yantras. \nExhibit One\nAll the Muses and the Graces \n…including Vedic gods & goddesses\, and celestial atmospheres. \nYantra means “an apparatus” in sanskrit\, it is a mystical diagram\, or visual mantra\, composed of geometric shapes that create\, by sight\, the vibrations and other mystical effects of a mantra. The act of wearing\, drawing\, or concentrating on a Mandala/Yantra is said to have spiritual or magical benefits. A Yantra focuses spiritual and mental energies to improve one’s quality of life\, to invoke a particular Divine Vibration or Archtype. \nExhibit Two\nThe Spell of Beyond Knowing \nThis exhibition features large scale drawings & paintings in an effort to achieve “healing through inspired movement and visual expression”. \n  \n\n\nAbout The Artist\n\nMelissa Forbes has been a student of yoga since her mid twenties. Her interest in yoga became more singularly focused after finding inspiration in the tradition of the yogi scholar Shi T. Krishnamacharya and his students Pattabhi Jois\, and T.K.V. Desikachar. Melissa began her career teaching Desikachar style yoga and was the co-founder of the internationally renowned Heart of Yoga. She has taught yoga in numerous schools throughout the United States\, among them\, the Olive Leaf Wholeness Center in New York City\, where she worked closely with Dr. Rudolph Ballentine\, a student of Swami Rama\, who founded the Himalayan Institute. \nMelissa began her study of art\, as well as dance and movement in her youth. Painting and design\, along side dance and movement\, are her ongoing passions. Melissa’s art career began with her studies of textile design at the Moore College of Art in Philadelphia\, followed by a five-year full scholarship in printmaking at New York’s National Academy Press. She was the recipient of an Ogden M. Pleissner Fellowship\, a Nancy O’Malley Fellowship\, a Ricky Fingerhut Fellowship and a Ralph Fabri Fellowship. Melissa was also granted the prestigious Pollock-Krasner Grant. \nShe is presently involved in an independent study of Vedic Yantras\, having studied in India with students of Harish Johari. Her Yantric renderings reflect both her artistic expression and intimate experiences of Yogic disciplines. They are quite unique as they combine Eastern and Western Sacred Geometry. Most recently\, sixteen of Melissa’s vibrational Yantra art paintings were featured in the book\, “Karttikeyan Yogic Method”\, published by Gatherinsight.com. Her art has been exhibited in galleries in New York City\, Philadelphia\, and the United Nations. She maintains a studio in New York while frequently traveling and painting in majestic locations around the world. \nFor the five years leading up to his passing in 2007\, Melissa traveled with the late sage U.G. Krishnamurti\, and made Switzerland her home. Upon his passing\, Melissa moved back to the United States\, and is currently living in the Taconic Hills of New York State. Melissa is presently an Adjunct Professor of Art at the University of New Haven\, Connecticut\, while continuing to teach yoga. \nIn addition to her interests and experiences in yoga and art\, Melissa has formally studied Neuro-Linguistic Programming under Richard Bandler cofounder of NLP\, Shiatsu (Certified Ohashiatsu Practitioner)\, Certified Divine Intervention TeacherMinister\, and Certified Teacher of Mayan Sacred Geometry\, graduate of Suluk Academy school of Sufi studies and Four Wind Society Light Body School. \nShe is the author of “No Teaching Yoga\, The Authentic Guide”\, a work reflecting her time with U.G. Krishnamurti\, a brief history of yoga\, a collection of Vedic Yantras and Melissa’s eight Miracle Combination practices.

SUMMARY:Dancing Leaves: Pigment Prints By Thomas Bernsten
DESCRIPTION:About The Exhibit\n\nThrough June 28\, 2014 \n\nDancing Leaves Portraits have been featured in publications such as CT Cottages & Gardens\, shown in galleries; amongst them The Silvermine Guild of Artists in New Canaan\, CT where I am an active member. An extensive show of huge 4 x 5 foot prints filled the Main Gallery at The National Arts Club in New York City. Several public and private collections\, The Dana Farber Cancer Institute and New York Clearing house among them have acquired the work. The collection of photographic images has become the inspiration for a similar collection of sculpture for the garden landscape. These leaves are sculpted in both bronze and fabricated in steel. Presently my work involves building sculpture inspired by the ancient practice of meditative walking paths such as in a labyrinth. \n\n\nAbout The Artist\n\nFrom the artist: I seek to express in my work a feeling of profound optimism\, wonder\, joy\, and beauty. While walking one winter day across a frozen pond I glanced at my feet. The leaves encased in the ice mesmerized me. In a moment of grace the concept of expressing that moment came to me. It would become a collection of photographs and sculpture entitled “Dancing Leaves Portraits”.

SUMMARY:Stillness In Motion: Ink Drawings By Norman Galinsky
DESCRIPTION:About The Exhibit\n\nThrough June 28\, 2014 \n\nNorman Galinsky’s artwork has been inspired and informed by his background in science and engineering and his ongoing interest in metaphysical issues and explorations of consciousness. \nThe recent works involve the free-hand application of small marks to construct larger\, intuitively derived geometric patterns. The compositions are produced through a meditative approach\, a practice of focused attention and intention\, often using ancient sacred geometric forms and proportions. I call the work “process oriented” because I maintain an intimate connection with the act of generating the works by hand. Thus\, I remain an engaged and active participant in the creation\, rather than an observer. \nThe images suggest emissions of energy waves and particles\, vibrating fields and networks that denote a synthesis between the material world and a hidden quantum universe. Many of the works utilize symmetry and circular imagery of converging forms\, a central focus of “stillness” to express the unity of consciousness—the one shared life. \nI want my images to encourage thinking as well as feeling\, to challenge as well as to promote healing and balance\, to connect the personal with the universal order\, and to draw one into a dialog with the present moment in ways that intimate the future. \n\n\nAbout The Artist\n\nNorman Galinsky’s artwork has been inspired by his background in science and engineering and his ongoing studies of metaphysics and spiritual issues. \nHis art studies began with a focus on traditional renaissance oil and egg tempera painting techniques\, followed by classes with Henry Pearson at the New School and with Will Barnet and George Tooker at the Art Students League in NYC. In the late 1960’s\, he participated in the Experiments in Art and Technology program developed by Billy Kluver and Robert Rauschenburg. After a seven-year career in chemical engineering\, he left industry and turned fully to art\, earning an MFA degree from Columbia University in 1973. At Columbia he studied painting with Philip Guston\, Jack Tworkov\, and Stamos\, and printmaking with Bob Blackburn and Tony Harrison. \nIn addition\, his artwork has been shaped by his 20 year experience in the practice and teaching of Chinese healing exercises and martial arts\, including qigong\, Taiji Quan\, and other meditative and energetic healing disciplines. He has taught these forms in his studio as well as in area hospitals\, including: New York Presbyterian (under the direction of Dr. Mehmet Oz)\, Englewood Hospital\, Nyack Cancer Center\, and St. John’s Riverside Hospital in Yonkers\, NY. \nBy synthesizing and translating the seemingly disparate worlds of the quantum sciences and spirituality into compelling images\, Galinsky’s art depicts the evolving dynamic order underlying our world today and forecasts possibilities for the future.

SUMMARY:Dance Of The Spirits: Mandalas By Jon H. Davis
DESCRIPTION:About The Exhibit\n\nThrough March 15\, 2014 \n\nThe life of a travel photographer is an adventure filled with the unexpected. Things can happen quickly\, so having the camera ready to capture the moment is essential. A hippo that emerges off the bow of a Tanzanian riverboat will not wait and it’s challenging\, and rare\, to get the perfect shot. \nSometimes\, when I feel everything is running smoothly\, the weather suddenly changes and delays a shoot. I keep moving forward. Then slowly\, the storm passes\, the clouds part and the landscape is painted with an incredible light\, accented by a gorgeous rainbow. This happened in Alaska’s Denali National Park. The beauty of it is\, you never know\, as nature reveals itself in so many mysterious ways. I am never at a loss to find even some small treasure through the lens. Many of those often overlooked gems become  the source material for my original process of “digital alchemy” and the creation of new mandalas. \n\n\nAbout The Artist\n\n \nJon H. Davis embraces digital media\, expressing his vision of people and places while reflecting his love of the natural world\, ancient arts\, and global adventures. He has been an avid photographer since his youth and after studies at the Brooks Institute of Fine Art and Photography\, went on a two-year sojourn taking volumes of photos. While driving across Europe and Asia in his Volkswagen van\, his adventures included kayaking in the fjords of Norway\, skiing throughout the Alps\, and elephant-riding in Sri Lanka. His photographs–including ships from the Indian Ocean\, robots from Japan\, food from Thailand\, and totem poles from Canada– have been published in many magazines including The Robb Report\, Body & Soul\, The Hook\, Spa Life\, Global Rhythm and North American Inns.\n \nIn addition to his video documentaries and vast inventory of photographs from around the world\, Davis creates colorful contemporary artworks inspired by Tibetan mandalas (cosmic maps of the universe). Working with a process he calls “digital alchemy\,” he transforms his photographs and paintings into contemporary mandalas\, incorporating elements\, textures\, and patterns from the natural world. These works are available in limited edition archival prints as well as on canvas\, metal\, and in digital installations. Davis is currently working on a new book of his mandala images.
