Local Artist Interviews

Local Artist Interviews Interview with Roger Williamson prior to the Chimera Opening at SSCA. Local Artist Interviews presents Minneapolis visual artist and author Roger Williamson. Born in Loughborough, UK, in 1947, Roger Williamson has been inspired from an early age by the French Symbolist painters of late nineteenth century France, especially Gustave Moreau, Jean Delville and Fernand Knopff. A surge of interest in mysticism, the occult and magick was expressed by these artists of the Fin de siècle: the works of Jean Delville in particular helped shape Williamson’s own approach to metaphysical figurative work. These artistic influences, in conjunction with […]

Chimera Update New Paintings

Chimera Update:  New Paintings The Chimera exhibition features several new paintings, including the triptych “Fall, Paradise Is For Those Who Do What They Are Told”, a work composed of three 8 foot by 4 foot oil on wood panels. The paintings explore the concept of the “Fall” from three perspectives, Gnosticism, Greek mythology and Shamanism. It interprets and reveals the occult message of the “Fall” concept as a communication of opportunity and self-empowerment to those who can see beyond appearances, as opposed to the traditional view of eternal pain and damnation for not doing what you are told to do by others. On […]

Worship of the Ancestor

Worshiping the Ancestor Spirits I Am The Body Of My Ancestors Ancestor worship, Oil on canvas. Original painting available at Saatchi Art Ancestor worship. While your name continues to be spoken you continue to live. This is the fundamental theory behind ancestor worship which can be witnessed to an extreme in ancient Egyptian culture. Study of Hatshepsut, a female pharaoh of ancient Egypt, reveals that she was condemned to non being because all references to her name and existence were eliminated by her step son. Only in comparatively recent times has her name come to light. It is Hatshepsut who is […]

Judgment Major Arcana Explanation

Judgment Major Arcana Tarot Card For Judgment I have used the climax of the Cain and Abel story as the image for my interpretation because it illustrates the moment of taking an irreversible step by an action made or a word spoken that can never be taken back. The card reminds us that we need to think before we act or speak. Modern commentators typically assume Cain’s motive was jealousy due to God rejecting his offering, while accepting Abel’s.   Some ancient exegetes suggest something even more sinister lay behind the killing.  They suggest the motive involved a desire for the most […]

Dance For Kali

Hindu Goddess, Dance For Kali An original painting of a woman assuming the god form of Hindu goddess Kali to manifest the Goddesses’ personality within her.

The skulls represent epochs of time both past and to come.  Kali is a Hindu mother goddess, symbol of time, dissolution and destruction. She destroys ignorance, maintains the world order, and blesses and frees those who strive for the knowledge of eternity. It is Kali who liberates the […]
