Caldwell Arte Exposicion will present Art of the Moment, an exhibition of new artwork by Gert Johan Manschot. Black and white dominate Manschot's work and symbolically represent light and dark, day and night, heaven and earth or hell, life and death, spirit and matter, transformation, meditation, enlightenment and more. All of these are aspects that have a meaning and role in his expression.
The approach can be compared with the technique of Japanese Zen calligraphers and painters, who empty their minds to open up to a larger or higher mindless awareness, that exceeds the level of ego or self. In doing so, they channel that higher awareness, without interference of the personal mind into a work of art that goes beyond the personal level, expressing the self- and timeless quality of the beyond, the realm of the immaterial and invisible.
