Beargrass—also known as Western Turkeybeard, Bear Lily, Pine Lily, Elk Grass, Squaw Grass and Turkeybeard—grows widely in the Western United States. The flower stalks of beargrass stalks are a delicacy for elk and dear in addition to being consumed by numerous other big game animals. Grizzly bears are known to use the leaves to build their hibernation nests. Native Americans employed the leaves in the weaving of baskets and garments; the roasted rootstock was also part of their diet. The artist recalls the strange, sentinel-like beauty of flowering beargrass fondly from his years spent living in Northern New Mexico, where it grew in many places in the mountains, canyons and even high desert. Using One Brush Technique in classic fashion, he was able to immortalize this special plant in this stunning ink-on-paper piece that has been acquired by a collector of his unique Southwestern paintings.

Sol Luckman’s bold, atmospheric compositions have been featured on the covers of Itzhak Beery’s THE GIFT OF SHAMANISM, SHAMANIC TRANSFORMATIONS and SHAMANIC HEALING published by Inner Traditions. The artist’s most recognizable styles, One Brush Technique with ink and Wavy Gravy with acrylic, are employed in his ongoing exploration of spiritual energy. His vision of the world as fundamentally energetic could be called shamanic in its appreciation of the underlying conscious vibrancy of all things. The effect on the viewer just glimpsing this ineffable world underneath or inside the visible can be startling, even unsettling at times; it can also be highly aesthetically stimulating in an otherworldly way. In his self-illustrated art memoir, MUSINGS FROM A SMALL ISLAND, Luckman writes about the influence of the Russian modernist philosopher Viktor Shklovsky, who proposed that what characterizes genuine art is “estrangement.” “The purpose of art is to impart the sensation of things as they are perceived and not as they are known,” wrote Shklovsky. “The technique of art is to make objects ‘unfamiliar,’ to make forms difficult to increase the difficulty and length of perception because the process of perception is an aesthetic end in itself and must be prolonged.” Luckman’s intention is for viewers to encounter estrangement in the universe of intelligent energy intimated in his artwork, as objects condition space with their essence, and vice versa, and the outside conflates with the inside because All Is One.
