Chicago, IL - The most unusual art movement to date will soon energize Chicago’s cultural scene. Emerging from across the globe, artists in the Energy Art Movement look within, without and about to provide imagery to, and push, our ever-expanding notions of reality.

Energy Art is the depiction of energy using color, form, and composition to create inventive/expressive works that resonate with impact and feeling. In terms of subject matter, it may bridge fields such as quantum physics, alchemy, molecular biology, mysticism, fractal theory, occult anatomy, and consciousness studies. In terms of media and execution, some members are known for building on traditional techniques, including those of the Old Masters, while others prefer the use of cutting edge digital, 3D and algorithmic rendering applications. Yet, a few others look for ways to push the envelope and incorporate these and other types of media.

This show is your opportunity to experience the finest contemporary energetic art available today, in the movement’s first visit to Chicago. The exhibit will feature the winners of the annual -and international- Energy Art Salon Competition, along with artwork from movement members and entries from the We Are Connected Project. The WAC project aims to explore different levels of connections in which we participate and are embedded in, from quantum entanglement and mitochondrial / DNA replication patterns, to advances of the information age. In total, more than 50 top-notch energy artists from around the world will be exhibiting in over 20,000 sq feet of lively gallery space. Speakers in the Salon include Prof. Stuart Hameroff from the University of Arizona / Center for Consciousness studies, and Joan Forest Mage from Life Force Arts Center, among others.
