The phrase “Eye of the Beholder” relates to the our world as we each see our own view of what is beautiful or interesting. Eyes have always had the fascination of cultures around the world through the years. For artists, the eye can be highly symbolic, conjuring ideas of power, insight, truth and emotion. Eyes have been said to give a view to our souls. In a spiritual way it is the “third eye’ which can give enlightenment to a person.
This Eye of the Beholder show will highlight the wide range of how we see the world from it’s beauty or spiritual aspect to perhaps its darker moments. We each have our own unique insight and view and through our art can illustrate the wonder of the world around us.
