Bolge \nCEO\, Museum of Art – DeLand \nEvery culture and society has a few brave souls who live out their lives at the absolute frontiers of their age – who\, while there\, probe into and speculate upon what lies beyond – and then somehow manage\, with the help of talent\, logic\, intuition\, and faith to encapsulate symbolically what they suspect the vision might be. \nThese frontiers may be science\, mathematics\, philosophy\, metaphysics\, the arts – and any number of other disciplines or in combinations of them all. \nOne such combination fuses art with metaphysical speculation and infinity\, and produces an art that is both profoundly physical and highly suggestive. An art that combines sensitivity with hue\, color\, texture\, form – with intimations of immortality\, spiritual intuitions\, a sense of the awesomeness of the infinite unknown\, and an ache for universal meaning and significance. An art\, in other words\, that possesses an eager openness toward any and all hints of what might lie beyond human knowledge\, definition\, or classification. It also raises questions about\, and suggests\, alternative interpretations of the reality we see\, touch\, smell\, hear – or think we understand so well. \n \nPoints of View (Book#1)\, 2017\, Mixed media\, collage\, gold leaf\, oil bar\, 8 1/4 x 8 1/2 inches \nAlthough most artists\, by the very nature of their creative focus\, feel this sense of wonderment and awe before the unknown\, artists like Barbara Neijna who devote themselves specifically to the search for pictorial approximation of these concepts are extremely small. And for good reason: art and metaphysics\, while close in spirit\, are far apart as disciplines\, and call for vastly different talents and commitments. \nIt is the rare artist who has the talent and the inclination for both. Among those few who have\, however\, none managed more successfully than Barbara Neijna to fuse art and metaphysics into a perfectly unified and integrated pictorial image. In her recent drawings\, the largest possible vision of reality was symbolically represented through the interaction of absolutely vertical and horizontal lines in conjunction with simple combinations of the primary shapes. Her drawings are perfect icons of infinity\, albeit a highly rarefied and dogmatic version of it. \nNeijna’s drawings emphasize art’s role as an evoker of subtle moods and other worldly musings and intimations – which can be seen as an aid to meditation\, rather than as a pictorial presenter of physical facts or as a shrewd organizer of nonrepresentational shapes\, colors\, patterns or designs. \nAn exhibition of Neijna’s work presents us with the extraordinary feeling that we are observing an exquisitely honed\, creative sensibility waiting\, with watchful urgency\, at the frontier of human knowledge for something to “pass by.” And then when something does (or appears to)\, we see it take shape through her art. \n \nIt may be something so intangible and fleeting that to capture it on paper becomes as difficult as capturing the flash of a golden fish deep within muddy waters\, or the bursting into momentary light of a firefly. But whatever it is\, Neijna is the contemporary best suited by talent and temperament to register its presence and its appearance on paper. \nThis is her unique talent\, and the one that has kept her facing outward (as well as inward) toward the unknown at a time when most of her contemporaries were concerning themselves with the formal and physical stretching of the art of creating. \nThis artist hunts and fishes for evidence of the divine; she is a follower of its spoor and traces. If anyone will ever register even the gentlest caress of an angel’s wing\, it will be she. And\, if intimations and intuitions ever take physical form\, she will be among the very first to recognize them for what they are. \nNeijna’s art exists between the present and actual and the imminent and possible. Her images\, as often as not\, are in transition from one state to another\, from one dimension of reality to another. Reality for this artist is an eternally ongoing process of question and transformation\, a dynamic\, ever fluctuating series of overlapping images and appearances. \nTo peel off one layer of meaning is to reveal the next one in depth – or at least to catch a fleeting glimpse of where it might be found. \nArt\, to such a creative spirit\, is neither a feast for the eyes nor an arena for the emotions. It is\, rather\, a launching pad for the spirit and a landing area for truths wishing to make themselves known. \n  URL:https://moartdeland.org/event/full-circle/ LOCATION:Museum of Art – DeLand\, 600 N.

Bolge \nMuch of the art of this century deals with reduction and elimination\, and conjures up an image of a man taking apart a boat in the middle of the ocean in order to determine the minimum support he requires to stay afloat. \nOr an image of a writer trying to distill all he knows into one perfect sentence with which to begin his book. \n \nRed Swings II\, Undated\, Acrylic on canvas\, 50 x 50 \nAlthough Jim Houser\, like other American artists\, was influenced by Cubism as well as by Constructionism – and was also anxious to create art of cultural significance\, he could never quite rid himself of the notion that art began in reality. And not only in the reality of the mind and spirit\, but in the reality encountered through sight\, touch\, and smell. Even his most abstract-looking paintings are so drenched in naturalistic associations that one immediately senses and perceives the seascape or objects from which the picture is derived. All hues\, shapes\, forms\, textures and colors in his art have their point of origin in the everyday world. \nJim Houser built his paintings from the ground up. Nothing was left to chance\, everything was meticulously planned and ordered with almost mathematical precision. And yet\, his oeuvre is rich in association. We don’t just see the painting\, we are flooded by memories and feelings triggered by what we see “in” the painting: by our memories and feelings about comfortable\, seaside vacation homes\, sitting on the beach with the one you love\, and lunch at the boardwalk sandwich shop. \nStand Flags\, Undated\, Acrylic on canvas\, 36 x 60 inches\nDepending on our interest in the formal aspects of art\, we may or may not also be aware of how beautifully the various elements in his compositions play against one another and how delicately the curve of a boat’s hull completes a highly complex series of thrusts into space. \nIf we are aware of these things\, a period of adjustment between small tensions and balances takes place. The associative elements are weighed against the formal. And since Houser was an artist\, and was able to steer a central course between both realities\, the end result of the viewing experience is a wonderful feeling of completeness\, harmony and balance. \nThe Jim Houser paintings that comprise this exhibition represent a centuries old tradition\, which includes Vermeer\, Chardin and Cezanne. He has updated it by modifying it in the light of 20th century formal discoveries and attitudes\, but it is solidly traditional nonetheless.
