Gnostic Astronaut Print

The subject of these paintings is The Underworld. That is, the realm of the subconscious, of myth and of dreams. The realm of ‘Inner Space’. Also ‘Outer Space’ and the imagery of the supposed post singularity epoch in the (perhaps not too distant?) future, of trans-humanism, cybernetics and simulation theory. Perhaps in this artificially constructed meta-verse, we will encounter again the old myths, ghosts and gods of our ancient past, and of our deep mind. As well as the inter dimensional entities that have always existed here. But we usually can’t see. Here, we see a space-suited figure breaking through a veil in material reality, to see the realms and dimensions beyond. This is inspired by the famous Flammarion Engraving, often used by Gnostics to imply the essential unreality of this world.
