The Avant-garde of Consciousness<\/b><\/p>\n

Elisabeth Sula finds inspiration for her contemplative art in the study of philosophy. She creates a series of works that in a sense call into question the way of looking at the world and understanding the connection between individuality and society. Her paintings combine elements of metaphysical research with spiritual examination, which partly comes from the years spent in India. Where older works overlap with
\nornamental motifs inspired by Eastern culture, graphic elements are replaced by individual messages in the Avant-garde of Consciousness. Together, these works form a chorus of vibrant colours and declarative sovereignty, the promise of a transcendent boom that goes hand in hand with the pursuit of self-knowledge.<\/p>\n

The artist\u2019s latest collection of works is a response to what she perceives as onedimensional: fear-raising reports of the coronavirus pandemic supported by a number of influential sources of information.<\/p>\n

This work could not have come about at a more opportune moment marked by the fragmenting political actions of governments, which ignore the long-standing massive imbalance in nature and now see in the virus only a threat to unbridled individualism and public health. All this is happening against the background of the global refugee
\ncrisis, famine and the destruction of the environment on an unprecedented scale.
\nElisabeth Sula\u2019s work offers a visual vision of the future that highlights the individual, but prioritises a collective approach to self-questioning and the resulting action. If fear manifests itself as a kind of unconsciousness, her work presents a challenge to consciousness that favours conscientiousness and is also an open appeal that begins in written cycles with a written text to immediately merge with streams of abstract, interpretive colours.<\/p>\n

About author<\/h4>\n

Elisabeth Sula studied painting and graphic art at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna with Oswald Oberhuber and philosophy at the University of Vienna.
\nPhilosophical questions usually form the starting point of her work. Her vision of a post-patriarchal feminist future broadens the view of the future of humanity, mutual equality and the development of consciousness.
