OPENING of the THIRD EYE! Art Exhibition NYC
October 3 – 7 2018 The Living Gallery NYC – Opening of the Third Eye reception with performance by Natsumi Goldfish October 4, 6 – 10pm
“We accept so many things that come through the media; we get used to them, however vigilant we are. But for any creative art, you have to remain 110% conscious, and in a world that’s losing consciousness, that’s getting harder.” Keith Jarrett
Natsumi Goldfish “Blue Infinity”, 2016 – 2018, Ink on wood panel.
Stephen Romano Gallery is please to announce a four person exhibition of the works of Natsumi Goldfish, Alexis Palmer Karl, Daniel Goncalves and Barry William Hale at the Living Gallery Outpost on the Lower East side in New York City. The exhibition’s theme will be further asserted with the inclusion of historical and vernacular images and objects including works by Jacob Bohme, Karl Kohl, Burt Shonberg, Jack Edwards, Darcilio Lima, Wolfgang Grasse, William Mortensen, spirit photography, as well as unknown artists.
Alexis Palmer Karl “Ritual Skull – I Am The Eternal Sublime”, 2015, Bone, resin, horn, selenite, Moroccan geode, quartz, marble powder
The premise of the exhibition is to unite four artists from different corners of the world, America, Japan, Australia and Portugal, who’s thread of continuity is to make art that achieves for the artist and consequently for the viewer an enriched state of consciousness, or the opening of the third eye, the locus of occult power and wisdom in the forehead of a deity, especially the god Shiva. Each of these artists, as well as the included peripheral material, aspires to induce, through the medium of visual art, a state of affirmation to the seeker of a cosmic order that perpetuates a higher sense of the spiritual (or meta-physical) connectedness amongst us.
The Living Gallery Outpost is located at 246 East 4th Street New York NY 10009.
Exhibition hours are Wednesday October 3, 4 – 8pm, Thursday October 4, 2 – 10pm, Friday 5 – Sunday 7, 1 – 8 pm or by appointment at 646 709 4725.

William Mortensen (1897 – 1965) “Meditation”, circa 1926, photograph.
“When we quit thinking primarily about ourselves and our own self-preservation, we undergo a truly heroic transformation of consciousness.” Joseph Campbell
Olga Fröbe-Kapteyn (1881 – 1962) Untitled, circa 1930, ink on board.
“I give the name of cosmic sense to the more or less confused affinity that binds us psychologically to the All which envelops us. The existence of this feeling is indubitable, and apparently as old as the beginning of thought… The cosmic sense must have been born as soon as man found himself facing the forest, the sea and the stars.” Teilhard de Chardin “The Phenomenon of Man” 1959
Wolfgang Grasse (1930 – 2008) “Mystik Des Daseins”, circa 1959, Ink and acrylic on paper.
