James Bennett: Artist,
Calligrapher, Author,
Educator, and Creator of the
Original "Luminous Streams#
4-Dimensional Visualization
& Meditation Art,
Presents His Magnificent
Transcendental
Visualizations
"I
know if you live with one of
my abstract art paintings,
it will greatly expand your
perception of reality. I can
confidently assert this as
my artwork conveys a
profound message
communicated from a higher
consciousness which seeks to
expand our perceptions
beyond the constraints of
the five senses.
"By engaging with my art,
viewers can access a
heightened state of
awareness that unveils
profound insights and truths
that are bound to resonate
with them.
"Can you sense the message
of unity in the boundless
expanse of time and space
that my artwork conveys?#
NOTE:
These
are Giclee
(pronounced
"zhee·klay#) prints
produced using
pigment-based inks
rather than
dye-based inks that
are found in
lower-cost inkjets.
Pigment-based inks
can last anywhere
from 100 - 200 years
without significant
fading. The paper is
100% cotton rag,
acid and lignen
free.
Prints may be
ordered in
various sizes, unframed,
custom matted and
framed, or printed
on canvas.
"My art is
all about the timeless
beauty of the rhythmic
energy of life uniting
art, music, and dance
through expressive lines,
textures, and radiant
colors.#
"These
paintings possess an
extraordinary ability to
elevate the
consciousness of those
who behold them. With
their captivating colors
and fluid forms, these
artworks effortlessly
seize the attention of
viewers, transporting
them to a realm of
tranquility and expanded
awareness.#
"These
inspired images open
pathways for our
recognition of an
exquisitely deeper reality
of the infinite and
eternal which is beyond
our perception of the
immediate sensory world.#
"I
encourage you to
take a moment to
gaze silently and
allow yourself to
relax without the
need to search for
meaning. Give
yourself the time to
let the paintings
communicate with you
in the serenity of
silence.#
"The true
message of these paintings
can be understood only on
a non-verbal level. In
this way, I believe my
paintings will reveal a
surprisingly, new
awareness of life's
rhythms!#
After
40+ years of
studying,
practicing,
and teaching
art, I was
inspired by a
vision in a
dream in 2020
of archetypal,
primordial
images that
led me to
create over 60
paintings on
the theme of
what I call
"Luminous
Streams.#
Each of these
paintings
presents the
movement and
dynamic
interplay of
just four
lines (four
fundamental
forces of the
universe, four
seasons, four
points of the
compass, etc.,
etc.). The
compositions
relate to
movement
(currents) in
nature, music,
and life in
general.
Influenced by
the
mystic-artists:
Kandinsky,
Mondrian, and
Klee; I
realized the
power of
compositional
elements to
communicate
profound
messages,
similar to
sacred
geometry.
It was only
after I had
completed many
Luminous
Streams
paintings that
I happened to
read about the
Transcendental
Painting Group
and realized
that I was
working in the
same vein as
those artists
(especially
Raymond Jonson
and Agnes
Pelton).
Collectors who
have seen my
work, even
those who
usually don't
respond
positively to
abstract art,
tell me how
beautiful and
provocative my
paintings are.
"The
therapeutic impact of
Bennecelli's art is
profound, offering a
sanctuary for the mind
to seek solace and
rejuvenation. By
immersing ourselves in
the sheer beauty of
these paintings, we
can rediscover a
renewed sense of inner
peace and clarity,
ultimately enriching
our mental
well-being.#
"It's
easy to see how these
strikingly beautiful
images engage
the eye and
imagination and,
as a result, will
enhance
the decor of a room in
your home or office.#
