Artist Reviews:
Border Town Alchemy
-------------------------------
--------------
By D. Eric Bookhardt
Seen from the rear window
perspective of the fast-fading
20th century, it sounds
strange to say that art,
science and mysticism were
once inseparably linked, as
intimately interwoven as the
morning glory vines in your
neighbor's yard. But, in fact,

Artist Statement for Paul Le Blanc

STATEMENT
"Within my work I have developed a personal interconnecting system of symbolic and metaphorical structures. I use esoteric symbolism, new physical theory, and comparative psychology to create this interconnecting system. By combining these disciplines I hope to create a common context in which all are welcome to participate. This seems to be an activity of alchemy, a subject of study for both philosophers and physicists.
I study alchemy as a source for art making. Its symbolism and metaphor provide for me a rich source of inner discovery and reflection. I mainly concentrate on the western alchemical tradition which incorporates hermetic, christian, and gnostic symbols. i am also preoccupied with art history and the lineage of works that express these thoughts. In my works, I am attempting to carry on these traditions but also develop an enviornment that allows for new connections to be made. I try to to incorperate contemporary academic and practical research on like minded subject matter within physics and psychology.
I gather my collection of objects from secondhand stores, dumpsites and salvage yards. When gathering these things I respond to shape texture or use. I couple these objects with painted images to build on a concept or theme. More unique arrangements develop through an improvisational and intuitive process that creates a common connection. Larger themes evolve from these connections which build a network of support. This synergy produces a complex symbology that draws on a mind pool of thought. The artists/alchemist's poetic world is a microcosm of god's lyrical universe."
