Synopsis "Homo Articus: Collector's Edition: Contemplative Art"

Homo Articus, "human as artist," is a concept that embraces the arts as integral to human natureand encapsulates the universal idea of art as 'creative contemplation.' The contemplative artworkby Kajal Dass Beck in this book reveals an "invisible thread" across cultural boundaries andcreatively expresses the universal human need to discover and communicate thesoul of reality. Building upon previous work with traditional designs and patterns of India, thepaintings in this book engage both Eastern and Western motifs in pioneering ways. As Dass Beck says: "Aligning form with substance, soft with bold colors, natural with supernatural dimensions, and geometric with freeform design, these works cross boundaries of established genres and artistic orthodoxy yet challenge the perspectives of the most venturesome afficionado." Separate or combined, her motifs appear and reappear in various configurations of abstract expression thatprovoke an interior vision of beauty and aesthetic delight. In the spirit of creative contemplation, Homo Articus: Contemplative Art invites viewers to contemplate iconic shapes and vibrant color combinations in a diversity of formations. The work is divided into two parts, the first representing non-Indian content including American, local (New Orleans), African, abstract, and other forms of modern expression. The second part focuses on the religious and cultural landscapes of India, drawing from religious traditions, village life, legends, folklore, and music. In addition to the beautiful collection of paintings, this book contains an explanatory introduction and a short autobiography by the artist.
