THE VOYAGER: EARTH AND SPACE

Three Monumental Paintings
By GORDON ONSLOW FORD

Curated by Fariba Bogzaran

Astronaut Edgar Mitchell founded the Institute of Noetic Sciences in 1973, as a result of his profoundly moving experience observing earth from outer space. Painter Gordon Onslow Ford began a series of paintings in the early 1960’s exploring the concept of "inner space" in a series titled Voyagers in Space. Three monumental paintings of Onslow Ford from the series will be exhibited.

Gordon Onslow Ford (1912-2003), internationally-known artist and a member of the Parisian Surrealists in the late 1930’s, is known for his visionary art capturing the "inner worlds." He was historically important for his lectures on Surrealism during WWII in New York in 1941 and their influence on Action Painting. He created a refuge for Surrealist artists in Mexico and established an art community with Jean Varda on the ferry boat "Vallejo" docked at Gate Five in Sausalito in the 1950’s. Onslow Ford spent his life in dialogue with scientists and researchers, philosophers, poets and artists, as he explored and integrated these various disciplines into his own views on consciousness. He wrote many books including Painting in the Instant (1964), Creations (1978), Insights (1991) and Once Upon a Time (1999). His work has been exhibited internationally and is in major art museums. He was the co-founder of the Lucid Art Foundation in 1998.
