"Deep Waters: Glory and Shame"

Contemporary
religious painter Norbert Kox is one of America's most important Visionary
atists. Born in Green Bay, Wisconsin on the same day in 1945 that the
U.S. dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, Kox's self-described
"apocalyptic visual parables" utilize powerful symbolic metaphors to
awaken modern man from his spiritual malaise and counter centuries worth
of Biblical mistranslations. Since Norbert Kox's last exhibit at La
Luz de Jesus, he's managed to get his work banned by every major religious
group in the U. S. He has secluded himself on a remote island, devoting
his time to his work. This exhibit will introduce Norbert's new image
revealing process called "spontaneous symmetrical surrealism". It is
a spontaneous process in which the pictures reveal themselves. They
already exist and through a process of exploration Kox discovers a key
to open the portal to these magnificent visual displays which are present
all around us every day. Our natural eyes do not allow us to see them
but nonetheless they are right in front of us at all times. The intricate,
sometimes very complex designs and patterns are reflections and enhancements
of nature itself. God's inkblot, if you please.
