“AYAHUASCA VISIONS” TAKE ROOT IN NORTH AMERICA . . . AT THE 99 HIGH ART COLLECTIVE
| 29 October 2009
VENICE BEACH, CA (October 25, 2009) - PlantTeachers in collaboration with the 99 High Art Collective in Venice Beach will present the first North American show of
“AYAHUASCA VISIONS - Sacred Art from the Amazon” by Pablo Amaringo
“We are humbled to host the father of Neo-Amazonica art, Pablo Amaringo and Mita and Moises,” says 99 proprietor of the 99 High Art Collective. “These paintings are a portal into the spirit world. They remind us of our abilities to heal through art and through the higher consciousness of plant wisdom.”As the dust settles on Abbot Kinney Boulevard and the harvest moon rises for the fall, a new season of healing art at the 99 High Art Collective in Venice Beach begins. The 99 Collective is heralded as, “...the most innovative and eidetic collective I've ever experienced” by locals and those in search of something new and inspiring. The 99 High Art Collective will seek to expand minds, hearts and souls with their exclusive upcoming Neo-Amazonica exhibit, “Ayahuasca Visions -Sacred Art from the Amazon” by Pablo Amaringo. The exhibit will run November 6th through December 31st, 2009.
Considered one of the world’s greatest visionary artists, Pablo Amaringo is renowned for his highly complex, colorful and intricate paintings of his visions from drinking the ayahuasca brew. As noted by visionary artist, Robert Venosa, “The high mission of art, through its illusions, is to foreshadow higher states of realities, and no one does this better in the depiction of the Ayahuascan worlds than Pablo.”
Once a practicing shaman, curandero (spiritual healer) and vegetalista, Pablo has gracefully and graciously manifested the spiritual teachings from his ayahuasca experiences, giving birth to his visionary art. Pablo relates, “Plants—in the great living book of nature—have shown me how to study life as an artist and shaman. They can help all of us to know the art of healing and to discover our own creativity...”
As succinctly put by French filmmaker and artist, Jan Kounen, “Don Pablo is a great master in both arts, the art of healing and the art of painting.”
Pablo’s work will be shown along with the work of Neo-Amazonica artists, Moises Llerena and Mita Lozano P., among others. Chris Kilham, medicine hunter, and word renowned ethnobotanist, plant medicine expert and author of over 15 books explains, “These paintings get under your skin. The deep psychic impression will linger with you long after you have turned your attention to other things.”
Pablo Amaringo is curator in chief of a Museum of the Marvelous, a gallery situated in a parallel dimension where the demons and spirits, plant-teachers and sprites of the shamanic world accessed through ayahuasca are all too real... Pablo's eidetic memory, his recall of his extensive journeys in alternate realities, combine with his artistic skills to create a visual record of an invisible landscape that few others will ever explore. His reputation as the master artist of shamanic worlds is honestly come by, and well-deserved.
