Art: 21- Spirituality

Watched another episode of Art:21 dealing with the theme of spirituality. Being an artist myself who like to deal with the concepts of religious matters and spiritual being, I found it particularly intriguing. One of the artists, Ann Hamilton really inspired me with her unique mouth pinhole images. Here's the artists!

Ann Hamilton

Hamilton creates installations, photographs, etc. that show her representation and connections she makes between the spirit, reading and writing, and textile creations. She also takes photographs using an open aperture and substituting her mouth for the aperture opening!

John Feodorov

Feodorov deals a lot with his personal past relationships with religion. He was raised with an indian heritage background but also as a Jehovah's Witness. His paintings and sculptures deal with the idea of comodifying spirituality. 

Shahzia Sikander

Sikander may not always deal with the topic of spirituality within her paintings but her process is what is spiritual 

for her. She thinks of her long 10-15 year painting process as a very meditative one,

James Turrell
Turrell deals with the use of light and shape in his art and how it relates to the spirit.
