ALEXANDER DE CADENET
Artist's Statement
"Since I first started making art as a teenager, it satisfied me at a very deep level. The process of making art brought peace, joy and meaning into my life.
Today, I consider my art to be an expression of the evolving consciousness that is being channeled through my art. Developing a connection to this consciousness as it manifests in one’s being, I believe to be one of the most accessible spiritual practices available to each one of us.
The recent Meditation Paintings series are designed to encourage a focused contemplation or meditative state of mind – ideally without any thought at all.
They are an oasis from the noise of our lives or a portal into a quieter more peaceful world. In the world of form, they can be said to combine elements of a minimalist aesthetic with a touch of expressionism."
“De Cadenet describes his own personal and artistic journey as finding a way to live in both worlds, spirit and material simultaneously"
Shana Nys Drambot
“Taken together, what these different series add up to is a meditation on the role of the artist and the possibilities open to him (or her) in contemporary society.”
