Einstein

Givi Sproshvili b.1940 in Georgia ~ Einstein

Think Einstein
Think relativity
A popular
Stereotypical 
Liaison

But Einstein was more

He was a man 
Re-framing identity

Cultural
Spiritual 
Zionism
An injection of humanity

As if
His life was
Not chained to Jewish politics
(He lived in  
Germany
Italy
Switzerland and
The United States)
But about any
Universal
Unfettered
Life force
Connections

A man with his
Pipe of peace
Leaning
Moving
Dreaming
Forward

In the mystery of old visions
On pages
Barely connecting in
The whims of the winds
There is still
The sacred butterfly of
Spiritual
Hope

A kind of haunting


A pilgrim
Yearning to be an artist


An artist
In touch with
His pilgrim spirit

Northern Summer Reverie

Sergei Aparin - Born in Voronezh, Russia in 1961. This painting is entitled July - oil on canvas
~

We are three

Screening the tides of old waves
Prodding the depths of new

And one elects to be overseer

The clear one
Becalmed in still waters
The centre
The centrifugal force
Apparently there
Dependent on the competitive tensions of
Yesterday and tomorrow

Going somewhere and
Gone

We are three
But I am ONE

First Light

Dmitry Guskov (Moscow, Russia then Scotland in 2000) ~ Light of Creation
~

Remember when Light meant the innocence of purity
Remember when Beauty was simply being
Remember when Creation was like a universal spirit
Breathing stillness on discordant darkness
Remember when Creation was
The First Light

The Cat of Midnight

Dmitry Guskov (Moscow, Russia then Scotland in 2000) ~ Black Cat in a Dark Room
~

In the eyes of midnight
Tremble the fears of darkness
Like mist encrusted laneways
Where the voice of lone feet walking
Laughs
Nervously
~

Dreamcolours

Leonid Afremov - born in the city of Vitebsk, Belarus in 1955 - the same town where Marc Chagall was born. (Belarus became independent of Russia in 1991.) This is an oil painting created with a painting knife and called Dream.

Raining colours of light
Goring the wells of night
Flooding the fears
Lubricating vibrant pools of happiness
