"The Light Within" by David Rothermel
For the last 25 years as an artist I have been painting and marveling over the true spiritual nature of this land. The paintings before you in this exhibit reflect the grace and synchronicity of the western landscape and my relationship to it.
The gratitude I have for being able to participate in the phenomena that happens when the light, weather, space, and beauty come together is overwhelming.
My purpose with these works of art are to bathe the viewer in light - a visual baptism of color that saturates the soul, gives peace, serenity and emotional reflection.
A few years ago I hit some major speed bumps in my personal life. Life issues such as age, security, finances finally surfaced after years of just cruising in stride. I was forced into some new agreements with reality. My silent expectations were not being fulfilled. These pieces were done in that period of intense struggle and surrender and have inspired me to show up as my authentic self and defining my new intent no matter what life throws at me.
I hope the work will inspire and reflect in the viewer the true grace and synchronicity in themselves.
Revealing the sublime is the artist's job description . . . . . . . It's the only one.
