Holly Addi — LŪX

May 6, 2021 By Blue Gallery

I seek beauty in the imperfect. My art study is based off of life’s imperfections and how it relates back to beauty and the magical phenomenon how it all works together. My specific art style is ‘composition of imperfectionism’ and how to embrace the wonder, rather than question it; the good, the bad, the evil, the weeds, the flowers, all of it. And at the end, you look at it, and see beauty through it all. — Holly Addi

An Exhibition of Things Called Art

May 6, 2021 By bob@hilliardgallery.com

Art exist within a diverse range of human activities that expresses and produces a visual, auditory, or performed artifacts— artworks. These works depict the artists imaginative and technical skill, and are intended to be appreciated for their beauty or emotional power. Art has been traditionally defined as the expression or application of human creative skills and imagination, typically in a visual form, producing works that express the artists inner emotions, desires, and message. A completed work of contemporary art can be used to describe any work regarded as art in the widest sense in respect to the physical form of visual art. When it comes to arts identification, there are no distinct set of values or aesthetic traits. Art is not perfection; art realistically is something that continues to progressively develop as it is seen, meaning to eagerly open all human capacities, thoughts and emotions. Art represents a unique creation that lets the observer interpret the art and the artists to portray it in whatever way they want whether the work is viewed with same perspective as the observer or not. A creation that allows for interpretation of any kind is art and can take on many various forms, but no matter the form it is a form of communication of the artist’s ideas or emotions.

Phillip J. Pursel

Phillip J. Pursel was born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri and is an enrolled member of The Ioway Tribe of Kansas & Nebraska – Bear Clan. Self taught, Pursel has explored many different mediums including painting, photography, printmaking, ceramics, traditional beadwork and moccasin making. He is well traveled and has explored the Southwest where he was introduced to the Pueblo & Hopi way of life. He takes imagery & inspiration from Native cultures. In addition to art, he is interested in traditional agriculture and dry farming focusing on the three sisters, corn, beans and squash. In the near future he hopes to live with and learn from the Hopi.
Most of his recent work is inspired by oral history and stories from indigenous cultures from North America.
“I found inspiration in my latest paintings from the Hopi people in Northern Arizona. Hopi means “peaceful people.” The Hopi are an ancient culture and have an oral history dating back about five thousand years. In one Hopi prophecy about guardianship, The Great Spirit makes an appearance on earth and gathers all the people on an island. He then sends four groups of people in four directions. The Great Spirit tells the people that over time I will turn you into four different colors and give you teachings. These will be known as the original teachings.” – Phillip J. Pursel
