]]><![CDATA[The Art for Peace Traveling Exhibition ]]>Sun, 13 Mar 2016 04:54:32 GMThttp://www.symbol-and-aesthetics.org/blog/the-art-for-peace-traveling-exhibitionThe Art for Peace Traveling Show is jointly curated by Dreams & Divinities and Art of the Imagination and will showcase the visionary and fantastic art of fifty-five contributing international artists.

Benjamin A. Vierling, the prolific painter and draughtsman of esoteric themes, will have his recent work Gymnogyps californianus featured in the show. Vierling is known for his allegorical portraits, symbolic still lifes, and talismanic diagrams of arcane knowledge. His work has the dark splendor of a northern winter that initiates us into its still beauty.

Also featured in the exhibition is The Garden of Afer, a painting of lush textures by Gromyko Semper, visionary artist and a curator to the recent The Encyclopædia of Fernal Affairs.

The exhibition opens on the 22 March at the historic l’Atelier Gustave, once the studio of nineteenth century sculptor Gustave Germain. The exhibition will then travel to England and from there to Germany. Release dates for the latter two shows will be announced on The Dreams & Divinities social media page.
