“Spiritual Journeys”
Exhibition Dates: Saturday, April 28 – Friday, May 25, 2012
Featured artists are Darwin Price and Thomas Christopher Haag. Please see “Our Artists” for more information. In addition work from about 30 other Bay Area artists is on display.
About the exhibition: Traditionally, religions have regarded spirituality as an essential part of the religious experience, but the growth of secularism in our society has given rise to a broader view of spirituality and even some atheists consider themselves spiritual. In its broadest sense, spirituality can be defined as the development of an individual's inner life through practices such as meditation, prayer, contemplation or certain actions; for instance the creation of art. In this exhibition we seek to illustrate traditional as well as modern spirituality and how art can meet, or reflect, the spirit.
Thomas Christoper Haag has a background as a street artist and muralist. He works both in big scale and small scale. (4"x4"). SOLD. More work available.
