Exhibition: The Sacred Face.

Venue: St John's Church Hall, Princes Street, Edinburgh, EH2 4BJ.
Dates: Friday 28 February – Monday 24 March 2014. 
Times: Monday to Friday: 8am-4.45pm.
Saturday: 8am-12.30pm.
Sunday: 8am-7pm. Closed between 2pm and 5pm.
Event Description: The 21st century is seeing a widespread revival, and renewal, of the Orthodox Christian tradition of icon-painting, many people feeling drawn to this sacred visual language which crosses denominational boundaries. On a broader scale, connections can also be made with the iconographies of different religious traditions, such as the image of the Buddha. The endeavour to depict the 'holy face' is a spiritual discipline in its own right, and a perennial way in to meditation and prayer. This exhibition features the work of five artists mostly based in Edinburgh : Basia Mindewicz, Monika Walendziak, Marta Kamila Pawelek, Andrew Paterson and Rafal Urbaniak.

Opening with Concert: Friday 28 February 2014, 6pm: Toczka, a trio (Monika Niemczynowicz, Anna Pietrzkiewicz-Read and Anna Rogus) working within the vast vocal traditions of Ukraine, Poland, and Russia. Edinburgh Georgian Singing Group, led by David Tugwell. The group aspires to follow Frank Kane’s approach of focusing on vibration in the body as the path to finding the authentic voice within ourselves and to connecting with other singers.

Event: The artists taking part in the exhibition will lead a public discussion on the subject of how we may find 'ways in' to spiritual realities through visual art, both as makers and viewers. Saturday 1 March 2014, 12pm-1.30pm.

Cost: Admission Free. Everyone Welcome.

Angels


Rev. 71 "I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, not on the sea, nor on any tree;"

Hello everyone,

I just stared campaign on indiegogo to raise funds for the project of Icon Painting School/ Workshop.
Here is more what I think about the project:

"I was thinking what this project should be about. I have so many thoughts going through my mind right now but the strongest is a desire to create a community of people from different cultures, backgrounds and expectations. To create a space for everyone to be able to talk through art of Icon Painting no matter what they want to say. It`s also possible that some just want to sit there and paint, touch brushes and let the colours and expression speak".

Also if you would be kind to help me with achieving my goal you can view the Campaign if you follow the link below

New Icons

I`m working on a few new icons for an Exhibition which is due to open on 3rd December (more details will follow). Thinking about how colours help me contemplate my reality. Through the light of Icon I`m beginning to understand myself. It`s such an amazing gift being able to master the art of Icon Painting.

Here I share one of the pieces, work in progress
