5 Artists Slide Into Sleep To Create Art

ADVERTISEMENT

When you fall asleep, where do you go? Dreams are a source of inspiration, a retreat from reason, and a space for exploring imagination and motivation that appear after the lights go out.

Art is about seeing even when our eyes are closed. But it is not always about representing the world as it exists, and sometimes it can allow us to see with more than our eyes. Five talented artists settled into slumber and looked into the recesses of their unconscious minds for inspiration. What they found will enchant and fascinate you with uncovered nocturnal paths of unique perspectives and recorded ephemeral feelings, unknowable mysteries, personal fantasies, and inner visions.

The ART MEETS DREAM Exhibit features the works of: Lisa D’Amico, John R Gilbert, Maria Teresa Ortiz-Naretto, Hunter Parker and Aviva Y Sakolsky.

This exhibit is hosted by the Arts Council of Rockland from June 15 – August 15. Experience the exhibit by visiting www.ArtsCouncilofRockland.org.

My name is Violeta and I am an editor here at Bored Panda. I love reading memes for a living. It’s obviously much more than that, but I appreciate the variety of topics, information, and pics I get to see every day and share with the world! Those funny memes really make my day too. Being born in the ’90s in post-Soviet Lithuania speaks more about me than I’d like to admit. I’m still learning about the world and myself, but I do love my friends, traveling, art, and my cat. My favorite fact to share about myself is that I used to hide meatballs in my friend’s pockets at lunch so I could go play outside. I wish all those meatballs could find their way back to me someday.
