Tantric Art Gallery

 In the seventies I was introduced to Tantra at the first big exhibition of Tantric Art at the Hayward Gallery, London. Although I loved Surrealism, I wanted something that would engage me more fully. The energy around Surrealism as a movement, the dynamics amongst committed participants, was no longer there. I was searching for where I fitted in, then I discovered Tantra.

When I stepped into the exhibit, I felt that I had come home. All the images that had enthralled me in Surrealism were here, but as if delivered direct from the superconscious rather than the subconscious. Sexuality was depicted and revered as sacred, animal headed beings were Divine incarnations. I even understood abstraction for the first time when I looked upon the downward pointed triangle with a dot in the center captioned ‘To Her’ and understood how all was resolved into this essence. This was a form of art that wove together many different disciples. Tantra was physics, aesthetics, spirituality, sexuality, geometry, macrocosm and microcosm, all woven together into a fabric of devotional, sacred art. I fell in love.

Ever since this discovery I have dedicated myself to translating and creating Tantric art for our times and culture, using the artistic tools of our age.
