This is
Christopher Ulrich's second show with Billy Shire. The first
was "The Fourth Enochian Key," which debuted on June
13, 2009. This next chapter is a continuance of the "Demoneater" series recently catalogued and
exhibited at the Grand Central Art Center Museum at CSUF. "Illuminator:
The Royal
Wedding"
is the second chapter of three in Christopher Ulrich's ongoing
journey.
It was on this very day 38 years ago that Christopher Ulrich was born.
Each piece in the series is designed to be its own portable
temple
marked and charged by the number 8. There are 16 paintings with
16
illustrated studies, 1 additional drawing, hidden, conceptual notes
and
16 print editions that complete the show.
"Illuminator: The Royal Wedding" is a merger, a multi-faceted view
of
the crystal. Light and dark begin to dance within the circle. As
the
black continues it's metamorphic process, the heat and flame
of
experience (and a time-crunching deadline) increase and the
whitening
begins. The white aspect of the alchemical process is the
manifestation
of a deep healing process. What happens is it gives birth to axioms. These
insights form the images, which create personalized
alchemical
recipes. Various figures from history -both real and imagined-
have
folded with cross-cultural counterparts significant to the artist.
This
manifested array marks the interior witnesses that revolve around
the
axis of the third part, that which has yet to be. All the works can
be
viewed simultaneously, as if they are all happening at the same time
in
different places and dimensions. Poetic conception is the moment
in
which a certain resonance rings out throughout the universe;
dark
beacons echoing across the depths of space and time. As the piper
plays
his hypnotic melodies so, too, the aspirant chooses his card. As
the
Promethean hare reveals nuclear magic to primates so, too, St.
Margaret
rises from the belly of the dragon. These moments capture a
singular
message. And that is an awakening with the white and black
truly
integrated. The red man and the white woman merge and not only
give
birth to the divine child but absorb its golden aura, which is
the
backdrop of the whole show. The entire universe spirals above,
below,
and within. The Royal Wedding heals all wounds, and
establishes
treaties amongst all houses; a rekindling of friendship; truce
between
enemies; the harvesting of fruits of labor; the newborn gifts
between
lovers; a new manifestation between father and son, god and
warrior,
mother, sister and friend. :Illuminator: The Royal Wedding"
has
revealed that there are no mistakes, no regrets and no lies. All
parts
of the greater whole bear witness that life is a magical process
with
"magic" defined as the transforming agent. The ability to make
the
unreal reality, to make impossibility possible, to bring a sense
of
inspiration, joy and insight is your birthright. We live in
abundance,
not scarcity. Everyone is invited to experience his or her own
inner
awakening by witnessing the call that the artist has truthfully
labored
to
answer.

There is a
great wedding occurring. The bride and groom could be
myth
and reality or science and religion. Seeming opposites come
together.
You have to choose: there are four paths with four different
directions
all going to the same place. All who attend this show will see
various
paths revealed.
The Universe will be drawn back to its singularity. There is
no
expansion without contraction. Each guest is invited to contribute
and
share their own gifts within the court. May the masks come off and
the
archetypes dance. Who knows what they will bring forth. Amen,
Glory,
Peace, and Triumph!
