What could be more relevant than ‘Now’ ?!

‘Now’ - This stunning original artwork on canvas is from the Skye Brothers ‘Hidden Messages’ Series created in 2020.

The first thing you need to know is colour. All paintings in the series are rendered in black, white & gold, but every painting is different. Examining the duality of life (black and white), and the role of the divine (gold), The Skye Brothers take a penetrating look at the stories we tell ourselves, and the truth that lies beneath them, through their unwavering monochromatic and metallic lens. Masterfully executed in layers that are added to or revealed, their paintings are beckoning us to explore what’s being covered up and what’s hiding in plain sight.

“Unlike common belief suggests, the act of creation has nothing to do with doing anything. Neither does the act of creation find its origins in having clever thoughts or brilliant ideas. The act of creation is an act of consciousness. All great art, poetry, music and science comes from consciousness. It is consciousness that makes us humans transcend boundaries, makes us elevate the spirit and awaken our true potential. It is consciousness that turns man into god.”
