Zeus and Io, Io Tells Her Story

Io Tells Her Story Oil painting on canvas, 24 inches by 48 inches, 2011. Zeus Io.  Io was, in Greek mythology, a priestess of Hera in Argos.

Aphrodite of Rhodes

Aphrodite of Rhodes Somewhere The Sun Is Rising Aphrodite of Rhodes, oil on canvas, 24 inches by 18 inches, 2015. Purchase the original painting from Saatchi Art Inspired by the statue Aphrodite of Rhodes,  in the Archaeological Museum of Rhodes, Greece. Roger Williamson’s 2015 painting, Aphrodite of Rhodes (Somewhere The Sun Is Rising), is a contemporary and deeply atmospheric reimagining of classical beauty. While inspired by the ancient Greek statue, Williamson moves beyond mere representation to create a moody, introspective scene that feels both timeless and intimately modern. The composition is dominated by the serene, yellow-red form of the Aphrodite statue, which […]

Roger Williamson at Salón Arcano Gallery

Salón Arcano Gallery Salón Arcano Gallery presents and exhibits works that deny the existence of a dividing line between art and hermetic philosophy. Hermetic Philosophy and Hermetic Art are not two independent manifestations that have some connections and links between them: they are one and the same thing. Our tradition teaches that art is the expression of our philosophy and our philosophy is the expression of our art. The Gallery was, in its origins, inspired by the Salon de la Rose+Croix of Paris, created in 1892 by Josephín Péladan, which had the intention of exhibiting art that was related to […]

On Prehistoric Cave Paintings

On Prehistoric Cave Paintings On prehistoric Cave Paintings. If one makes only a rudimentary study of prehistoric cave paintings, it is immediately apparent the majority of them we know of, such as those found on the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia at Cueva de El Castillo in Spain and Chauvet-Pont-d’Arc Cave in France, are always created in the most inaccessible and dark locations. Although the majority of the pictures depict herds of animals, research shows there is little evidence to prove any of these images were produced for success in hunting, because in most instances the animals illustrated were not […]
