Chimera Art Exhibition Opening
« on: July 22, 2013, 11:03:05 am »

Stevens Square Center for the Arts is pleased to present Chimera, a solo exhibition of work by Roger Williamson set to live music by Comets Ov Cupid.

Please join us on Saturday August 3rd, from 7-10:30 p.m., for the exhibition opening and to meet the artist.
1905 Third Avenue S., Minneapolis, MN  55404
T (612) 879-0200  ssca@stevensarts.org
Gallery Hours—
Saturday thru Sunday, 1:00 - 5:00 PM (During Exhibitions).

In the exhibition, Williamson presents a series of artworks that trace a specific understanding the artist has of Chimera.  Williamson refers to Chimera as a quality of the mythological sphinx, that is mystery rather than Chimera’s usually accepted quality as an illusionary entity or fabrication of the mind; especially as an unrealizable dream.
Mystery is energy, a fitting title of the sphinx and while she retains her mystery she maintains her power.   Only when she gives up her secrets does she lose her power and die.
It is this theme of mystery which permeates the works on display and the viewer is led through a labyrinth of images that challenge one to quest through the door that leads to our inner selves where the answers to all our questions reside.
Williamson’s installation is comprised of oil paintings on both wood panels and canvas.

Roger Williamson is a Minneapolis-based artist who has exhibited his paintings in local galleries.                    
He is also the author of several books which include The Sun at Night and the Lucifer Diaries and is the       creator of Tarot of the Morning Star tarot deck.  Some images from the deck will be included in the exhibit. http://rogerwilliamsonart.com/
Comets Ov Cupid is a space rock project by Jason Kesselring, formerly of Skye Klad and Satyrswitch.  Darkly cosmic the music evokes a sense of eternal twilight creating sonic landscapes of distorted voices, cosmic pulse and hazy drones.  Guitar based in composition the sounds range from full blown metalgazer walls of sound to ethereal astral folk.

You art looks interesting, at least I think it does, it is hard to tell from the small images on your website.
