Joel Rea Eternal
See new paintings by artist Joel Rea in his exhibition Eternal at Gallery One.
Artist statement: This work is a personal exploration of my interest in spirituality outside of religious ideals. Through personal narratives, notions of physical identity are transported into alternate realities manifested from both real places and blended with internal mindscapes. Through painting I am documenting my interpretation of this timeless internal journey of human existence. Consciously I am evaluating my existence as part of nature, a duality of the modern human condition set against the savage harmony of nature. My pursuit is in creating these visions of eternal journeys, an infinity of possibilities delicately trapped one painting at a time in frozen stasis.
