What if you could become a pollinator surrounded by the pleasures of a summer garden?

What if you could see into a multiplicity of dimensions?

What if you could change the seasons of the year; the focal point of a bird; the colors of everyday existence?

What if you could give expression and form to something that does not yet exist, something new and unique?

What if you could visualize your mind’s inner thoughts during a moment of creation?

What if by giving of yourself you could save the life of another person?

What if —— My 2023 photography exhibition at The Jung Center touches on the power of imagery and of imagination. The imagery, in part, speaks to the work of Carl Jung and his use of art in exploration of the unconscious and in the evolution of specific magic moments of personal growth in the human psyche. Comprised of several very dissimilar groupings of images, each grouping invites the viewer to become immersed in a variety of situations. When visitors pause within each segment of the exhibition to look, to really look, in some segments viewers will see details--some straightforward and clear while other groupings of images create a visual environment that is strangely mysterious yet somehow recognizable. Those images invite a quiet mood and require a pause for the viewer to have the ‘aha moment’ of contemplative understanding. The segment, titled Witnessing Miracles, is dedicated to amazing work of the surgeons and medical professionals at Methodist Hospital Transplant Center.

The works on exhibit bring together an impressive group of the best known and respected naïve artists from the Eastern Bloc countries. These colorful, charming and magically expressionistic paintings include paintings on paper, canvas and board, as well as the unique reverse paintings on glass, a popular art form among the naïve artists of Yugoslavia, Hungary and Romania. Any glass that you see in this exhibit is reverse painted, on the glass itself! Inclined strongly towards an image of expressionistic realism, as in all naïve art around the work, the artists represented here each work in their own experiences within the reality of their personal lives. Subjects from the everyday life of these rural, uneducated artists include family life and roles, religion, work and recreational themes. Fidelity to architecture, nature, landscape and topographical concerns, costume and facial characteristics is of extreme importance and is carried out in every instance. In this regard, common motifs have developed and are easily identified with the art from this area. Myths, fairy tales, local legend, motifs and icons from days past, as well as personal dreamscapes, are often represented in a surrealistic or native style akin to Salvador Dali or Henri Rousseau. - From past curator, Martha Terrill" ["post_title"]=> string(22) "Yugoslavian Naïve Art" ["post_excerpt"]=> string(0) "" ["post_status"]=> string(7) "publish" ["comment_status"]=> string(6) "closed" ["ping_status"]=> string(6) "closed" ["post_password"]=> string(0) "" ["post_name"]=> string(21) "yugoslavian-naive-art" ["to_ping"]=> string(0) "" ["pinged"]=> string(0) "" ["post_modified"]=> string(19) "2023-01-17 22:18:28" ["post_modified_gmt"]=> string(19) "2023-01-17 22:18:28" ["post_content_filtered"]=> string(0) "" ["post_parent"]=> int(0) ["guid"]=> string(54) "https://junghouston.org/?post_type=exhibit&p=3236" ["menu_order"]=> int(0) ["post_type"]=> string(7) "exhibit" ["post_mime_type"]=> string(0) "" ["comment_count"]=> string(1) "0" ["filter"]=> string(3) "raw" } [2]=> object(WP_Post)#3370 (24) { ["ID"]=> int(3239) ["post_author"]=> string(1) "6" ["post_date"]=> string(19) "2023-01-17 22:30:05" ["post_date_gmt"]=> string(19) "2023-01-17 22:30:05" ["post_content"]=> string(762) "Seven is a mystical number that is connected to spiritual awakening, introspection and the development of wisdom.

It is a curated collection of seven paintings featuring portraits of Black women and Funtumfrafu-Denkyemfrafu, an Adinkra symbol of unity in diversity giving a common destiny.
