John Sosnowsky, aka Sozra
Artist Statement:
Visionary, Geometric, Cymatic...
Beauty and harmony in nature are defined by
their simplicity and apparently effortless existence.
Art, regardless oftradition, time, historical
relevance or medium has attempted to recreate
and mimic nature since the first intentional
lines were drawn in the soil beneath
primitive feet.
As my experiences through travel, study,
and technology would have it, the medium
and creative direction my art has taken spans
continents, religions, time and a multitude of
resources. In an attempt to recreate the beauty
and harmony I have emanating in my being,
my experiences and imagination have
converged with simple geometry, high
technology and ancient symbolism to bring
an element of timelessness and universality
to the piece before you.
These pieces are meant to evoke comfort and
curiosity, calm through chaos, and the
untraditional through convention. Enjoy the
juxtaposition of each piece as simplicity draws
you into complexity.
All human construct evolves from basic laws
of existence. In the case of visual arts, we
remember basic geometry. Nothing starts without
a point. Two points may connect a rigid line. Yet a
series of points can give semblance to a wave or
abstraction of sorts. Regardless of time, space,
culture or belief these are the rules we abide by
in our visual creations of “art”. With this collection
I hope to bring you on a positive, visual journey
that spans all that is known while remaining simple.
With a Bachelor’s Degree in Art from Towson
University, I have been working for 36 years, with my
wife Debby, creating and selling art at juried shows
and galleries.
