Update on Szukalski

(An old post from 2011)

I  read the Pasadena City College's curator Brian Tucker organised a brilliant exhibition back in 2009 titled 'Mantong and Protong: Richard Sharpe Shaver and Stanislav Szukalski'. Sadly it seems no catalog has been printed. Read more on the similarities bot visionary artists:

So. Are the Yetinsyni really Deros in disguise? Can we explain the rock-books in terms of Zermatism?
Read about Szukalski this blog: Behold, Szukalski


I'd like to suggest a comparison between Robert Garcet's antehominid sculptures and Richard Shaver's Rokfogo's on the one hand, and between Stanislav Szukalski's large bronze works and the large erotic bronze sculptures of Roland Monteyne.

(first published in Maybe Quarterly vol. 2 issue 4, winter solstice 2005. This online magazine was sadly removed but one can still find its reflections in the Wayback Machine .) Personification and falsehood   Get a grip on Bat Kol, I'm taking away Jacob's ladder "Talking about things that are understandable only weighs down the mind" Alfred Jarry A 'pataphysician has an altitude in if but no attitude in life. The person , that which mosbunall confuse with the self, is considered as an imaginary solution. There are as many roles on the stage of life as there are possible answers to a poll answered by Jarry. The character of a 'pataphysician is like a glove, like a puppet in a theater .   Advertisement by Jarry for "Les Minutes de Sable Mémorial" in L'Ymagier II (January 1895) A kaballist also sees life as a theatre play. The role played is considered a mere shadow resulting from the rules of the divine li

Twee tegenstrijdige bedenkingen. Enerzijds is alle sociale onrust in de wereld gestoeid op het verwarren van enerzijds ideeën, bedenkingen, voorstellingen, symbolen en metaforen met feiten anderzijds. Manipulatie en false facts zijn allen ontstaan uit het gelijkstellen van beide werelden. In een beschaving waar beide door iedereen duidelijk uit elkaar gescheiden blijven kan geen enkele politieker, geen enkele psychopaat voor polarisatie zorgen. Anderzijds een overtuiging dat bovengenoemde imaginaire werelden evenzeer realiteitswaarde hebben als een stoel, een tafel of een innige omhelzing. Ik bepaal mijn wereld via mijn wereldbeeld. My words define my world. Mijn fantasie is echt. Ik beeld mij een purperen eenhoorn in, die regenboogscheet laat en die groen verft. Dit is echt in de zin dat ik mij dit echt inbeeld. Simpel eigenlijk: geen tegenstelling, net doordat wij allen onbewust weten dat het persoonlijk wereldbeeld bepaalt hoe we onze ervaringsdomeinen ontwikkelen, net daardoor k

A Spiral Kabbal Chapter 1. As above, so below The first letter of the hebrew alefbet, Aleph , allegedly was created starting from the image of a man pointing down with one hand and up with the other. In magick it symbolizes the equality of microsphere and macrosphere, the similarity in structure between up and down, the meeting and melting point of the opposites. Eliphas Levi wrote in his magnus opus ' Transcendental Magic ' about the Aleph: "the form is proportional to the idea; the shadow is the measure of the body calculated in its relation to the luminous ray; the scabbard is as deep as the sword is long; the negation is in proportion to the contrary affirmation; production is equal to destruction in the movement which preserves life; and there is no point i
