Elysian Fields at the UCA Gallery in Cape Town
A group show of work that defines or captures that divine field of an artist's initial movement or area of contemplation
The show approaches the artists starting point, the moment of inspiration as the Elysian Fields.
Elysian Fields as a term and concept has its roots in Greek Mythology and refers to the section of the underworld that is the final resting place of souls of the heroic, virtuous or mortals related to the gods. It is drawn from the Greek word Elysium.
Elysium refers to the designation place of a person struck to death by lightning; thought to be struck by the gods and therefore implying the person’s soul as blessed.
Elysian Fields has continually been morphed into its contemporary environment, yet however many times its context has changed, it always supposes a plane of paradise and immortality where death is not tasted.
Art shares the same possibility of immortality and when inspired, the artists mind produces a residue of that distilled moment of the Elysian Field.
