Peter Opheim : : Where imagination becomes reality. The creative imagination on canvas.
Welcome on 2goodmedia for this episode with the American Artist Peter Opheim. I am Delphine the creator of this Show. I am French living in Paris.
I chose my meeting with the American artist Peter Opheim with his surprising, sometimes provocative style to start this series of introduction to the podcast in the form of intimate posts. And we're going to talk about imagination, one of Peter Opheim's creative engines.
I have never been so far in a discussion on the creative process with an artist trying to be inside his head while creating. Thanks to Peter for his generosity and great humility sharing his thoughts and feelings with us on the podcast removing resistance, just the way he does on the canvas.
My guest lives and works between New York and San Cristobal, New Mexico - where his studio is located - and has exhibited his work around the world in Russia, Taiwan, Japan, London, New York and Los Angeles. I have the chance to meet him today in Paris where he is present for his first solo exhibition in France, at the Cohle Galery in Pigalle neighborhood.
When I met American Artist Painter Peter Opheim Peter, I knew that the discussion would be exciting and surprising for the listeners of the podcast. The paintings of Peter figuring characters from his imagination, small monsters, plants or animals in the form of sculptures in modeling clays are just perfect and eye catching to talk about the creative process in Art. I was ready to ask him all the questions that no one had dared to ask on his paintings because of intimidation or fear of missing the work.
Because in Art, there are no rules or limits. And I was not disappointed by Peter Opheim's answers, on the contrary, he has opened many doors for me and I hope it will do the same to you!
For the Artist, these figures are very real and his message is very serious. He will explain why and how they can tell us a lot about us and our Humanity.
The Art of Peter is a door open to much more than the sculptures. We talked about very interesting themes such as the imagination, consciousness and mindfulness, spirituality, artistic creation and the creative process, and above all about the humanity to which Peter Opheim is addressing in his work.
Now I would like to Draw a parallel with a world famous narrative poem written by the Italian author Dante Alighieri, the Divine Comedy. Where imagination and fantasized characters are everything but fiction and fairytell.
If the imaginary is often misunderstood and underrated, it is perhaps because we have forgotten artistic references such as the characters of Dante's Divine Comedy.
The famous Italian poem features both men contemporary with the poet and gods of mythology, or Beatrice, the poet’s muse.
But can I ask you “does it matter whether the character of Beatrice, his muse is real or imaginary to understand that this story teaches us a lot about ourselves?”
Our discussion will hopefully serve to demonstrate that in Art there are no right or wrong questions to ask, that you don't need to be cultured to engage in exciting discussions with the artist about his work. Art allows us to give space to our sensibility and our emotions. It is not with our rationality that we must look at a painting but by giving free rein to our feelings and emotions.
