8:00 PM- 10:00PM Art Reception: TO RECEIVE by Travis Lawrence at Mortlake & Company
Esoteric traditions are built around the belief of an interaction between the individual and the divine. Over the ages, spiritual adepts, philosophers, and artists devoted their lives to this transcendental relationship in order to receive blessings, wisdom, and inspiration. Through invocation, the creative process is a manifested act of communion with the intangible.
Influenced by Jungian psychology and mythology, Travis Lawrence uses the art of printmaking to create illustrious allegorical imagery. Reinterpreting medieval alchemical manuscripts and illuminations, each symbolic print appears to be an excerpt of narration filled with mystery and metaphor. The viewer is invited to explore the content of these hand-painted prints through a contemplative interaction with the represented archetypes.
Travis Lawrence resides in the Midwest where he was born and raised. Having a religious upbringing opened his perspective to the interaction with ideas greater than and/or within oneself. He utilizes the art of creation as an act of opening doorways and manifesting these ideas through symbol and metaphor. Similar to alchemy, Travis uses printmaking as a meditative procedure of transforming the mundane into a higher state.
