2 Fairy Tales Salgsutstilling. 21 malerier + grafikk. Åpning torsdag 19. november Kunstneren er tilstede fra kl 16 til 19. Frynsegoder: Vin og Farris. En oppfordring: Når du titter på katalogen - les tekstene til Ekatherina! Ekatherina S. er en meget spesiell person. Hun er kunstner, filosof, danser, matematiker, fysiker, dip.ing. innen computer science og på alle felter en ener. Noen mener hun er rimelig intelligent. Utdannelsen (se side 27) er helt unik. Likeledes hennes kunstneriske aksept (se side 28) det finnes sannsynligvis ingen annen levende kunstner som kan vise til 24 soloutstillinger i museer rundt om i verden. I sommer hadde hun separatutstilling i FN-bygningen i NY. Ekatherina S. er en slags moderne hippie, som gjennom sin kunst, ønsker å gjøre verden til et enda bedre sted å være. Nøkkelen til lykke ligger i Kjærlighet og Unity ifølge Ekatherina. 2

3 Fairy Tales. I love fairy tales. For me they express the wisdom of the ages and convey to us an in-depth understanding of the human condition. These fairy tales and myths are very similar in countless cultures the world around, enlightening us on; the creation of the earth, the human being, the arrogance of man defying divine law, the fall of man, the battle between good and evil, and finally the victory of the good. My mother read fairy tales to me every night. That was my favorite time of the day, when I became connected to universal truth and wisdom. I imagined that I was always the hero who gave life and love for humanity. My first books were of Egyptian and Greek mythology, followed by Russian, Moldavian, African, Indian, American Indian, Australian, Polynesian, and Nordic fairy tales and myths. Later I discovered the philosophy of Jung and began to understand the concept of archetypes and the collective consciousness the idea of the common relation of human DNA. I believe that today we all face battles between good and evil, love and hate, generosity and greed, and the desire between receiving for one s self or for the sake of sharing. With this exhibition I want to inspire the visitors to be the heroes and save our civilization by spreading love and respect to the people around us, sharing knowledge and wisdom, and educating the children to live in peace and protect the earth.

4 Seduction is something we face every day in life, and how we react to it is a matter of free will and freedom to choose. By balancing focus, responsibility, and restraint, in the process of choice, the right paths can be taken. The apple symbolizes new opportunity, while the color blue represents the spiritual world. 4 Seduction (01) Opl 100cm x 120cm

5 The horse is always a symbol of freedom, power, and vitality. Neptune, Greek god of the ocean, symbolizes illusion and high knowledge. The three horses of the soul, the mind, and the body, are running together in harmony. Running in harmony allows them to reach the top of the waves attaining high divine wisdom of life in the illusion of the Mayan ocean. Horses of Neptune (02) Opl 100cm x 120cm 5

6 Every one of us is a magician who creates our own world, our own purpose, and our own destiny. Using meditation we can focus on the subject of our desires and make them reality. Red symbolizes energy, blue spirituality, and black the unknown. 6 Magician (03) Opl 120cm x 100cm

7 The young woman represents success. She is naked and pure in her intentions. She attains her goal, but is not seduced by the celebration of success. Her mind is already moving forward with new projects and ideas. The white horse symbolizes the innocence of her soul, and the archway is the opening to a higher level of development. Blue is the color of spirituality, and yellow the light of divine wisdom. Victory (04) Opl 100cm x 120cm 7

8 The Greek goddess of love and beauty, Aphrodite, was made from the water foam of the sea. The flow of water symbolizes the flow of universal energy. We can be a channel for this energy. When we do not hold this energy within us just for ourselves, but instead share it with everyone around us, it transforms our inner selves into the beauty that is Aphrodite. 8 Aphrodite (05) Opl 120cm x 100cm

9 Pandora is opening the box of the treasure of fulfillment of all wishes. When we put enough energy and focus toward our desires we can reach everything we truly wish for. We should just be careful with our wishes, because everything is possible. The color red represents energy, white a new beginning, and yellow the light of wisdom. Pandora (06) Opl 120cm x 100cm 9

10 When we have a very clear idea in our mind about what we really want in life, this idea begins to live a life of its own, and with help from within ourselves the idea can be realized. We are able to create everything we want, but first need to reach a certain level of energy to do it. After we elevate our soul from the material world, and separate it from our ego, then we can be like a god. Green is the color of life, blue spirituality, red physical reality, and yellow the light of wisdom. The steps represent the process of growth. 10 Light of Wisdom (07) Opl 120cm x 90cm

11 In the German legend the man has to choose between the enormous treasure of material wealth, and love. I believe that without love, life can never bring fulfillment. Once unconditional love and beauty illuminate our lives anything is possible we can be connected to the bigger divine reality and can have the abundance of everything that we really need. Green is the color of life and nature. Rheingold (08) Opl 180cm x 180cm 11

12 The Greek hero Odysseus is longing for adventure. He imagines traveling to far away places and discovering new lands. He has no fear and is ready to go to the end of the world in order to find himself. Without knowing our true nature and potential we can t accomplish anything in life. Travel is the spiritual journey of our inner selves. The boat symbolizes the soul. 12 Odysseus (09) Opl 70cm x 90cm

13 In Greek mythology Arachna was responsible for weaving the web of life. This cosmic net connected everything in the universe. Each one of us has our own net and, like the spider, are in the center of it. We have the choice of how we will make up our own nets how we create our own lives. The color blue represents spirituality, and red physical reality. Arachna (10) Opl 90cm x 70cm 13

14 The biggest treasure we can find is in our soul. By spending time in meditation and inner concentration, we can discover the light of our true nature. Water is the symbol of the soul. The mountains represent the body. Blue is the color of spirituality, red the physical world, and yellow the golden light of wisdom. 14 Treasure (11) Opl 70cm x 90cm

15 Understanding of divine unity and connection can arise from physical experience. For example, the feeling of joy and happiness at the moment of dancing, playing sports, and making love. The divine soul lies within our physical body, and the body can be the gate to spiritual illumination. Red symbolizes the physical structure, blue the spiritual experience, and the spiral is the symbol of eternal development Gate of Unity (12) Opl 90cm x 70cm 15

16 We all dream of eternal spring, eternal youth. Everybody wants to feel strong, playful, and energetic throughout life. I believe that is possible. The source for this energy is within us. When we discover our inner self and are in harmony with this self, energy will flow through our body making us vital and very alive. The young couple represents the male and female aspects of our soul. The plants symbolize natural growth. The light is divine energy. 16 Eternal Spring (13) A/L 90cm x 70cm

17 According to the ideal world of the Greek philosopher Plato, in the divine realm everything is already created and will stay eternally in perfect shape. There is no space, nor time, and nothing can be destroyed. All of our ideas, thoughts, and images come from there. In the process of creation we have access to this ideal realm and can use its potential to realize that which we are creating. Blue is the color of spirituality. Eternity (14) A/L 70cm x 90cm 17

18 This Medusa is in the process of self-discovery. When we start to pay attention to our fears and deepest hidden thoughts, we can start to release them and make free our spirit. Our ideas begin to live a life of their own and bring fulfillment to our inner desires. Here the color blue is the subconscious, yellow the light of wisdom and mind, and orange energy. 18 Medusa (15) A/L 90cm x 70cm

19 The way to happiness is the long road of mastering our inner self. We have to find the balance between our masculine and feminine aspects, have patience, focus on the goal at hand, and have the commitment and certainty that we are on the right path. The light of wisdom illuminates the way. The horse symbolizes freedom and energy, the mountains represent physical reality, and the castle is the kingdom of the mind. On the way to happiness (16) A/L 90cm x 140cm 19

20 In my opinion true wisdom is love. When we start to feel unconditional love and compassion for ourselves and the people around us, we eliminate the darkness of fear, ignorance, and judgment. Everything begins to fall into harmony and we open our hearts to the divine light of knowledge. Blue symbolizes the spiritual world. 20 Light of Love (17) A/L 120cm x 100cm

21 In many religions the fish is the symbol of life. It moves like a stream of energy in the water. The dual figures represent the male and female forces of creation. Blue symbolizes the subconscious, green nature, and yellow the light of wisdom. Fish of Life (18) A/L 100cm x 120cm 21

22 As time is very slow, yet constant, it is symbolized by the turtle. The patterns on the shell represent the different Ages of Humanity. I believe that all earthly knowledge combines in the collective subconscious and will not decay with time. Red is the color of the material world. 22 Time of Earth (19) A/L 100cm x 120cm

23 The foundation of harmonious and successful results in the creative process relies on the balance of the masculine and feminine aspects of the one who is creating. I believe the universe has been created by the conscious control of the mind, and the giving love of the soul. The hand is the symbol of creation. Blue is the color of spirituality. Harmony of Creation (20) A/L 150cm x 200cm 23

24 To reach the harmony of love we need to reach the balance between masculine and feminine energy, between giving and receiving, and between body and soul. Red symbolizes physical love and sexual energy in the material world. 24 Balance of Love (21) A/L 120cm x 200cm

31 Galleri Pingvin (etablert 1985) er et av Skandinaviens største og mest internasjonale gallerier innen samtidskunst. Vi holder til midt i Oslo i en gammel 3 etasjers bygning. Kunst skal først og fremst være en mental investering. Vårt mål er at kunstkjøp gjort i Galleri Pingvin også blir en økonomisk investering altså en mental-økonomisk investering. I vårt arbeid vurderer vi eksisterende og potensiell BAPPI og korrelerer denne til prisen artisten forlanger for sine arbeider. Hva er BAPPI? B berømmelse (relevant berømmelse) A aksept (museer, offentlige og private kolleksjoner) P popularitet (liker vanlige mennesker kunsten?) P profesjonalitet (utdannelse, innstilling til kunsten, osv) I identitet (særpreg, kreativitet, gjenkjennelighet) Forutsetningen for å være en Pingvin-kunstner er en gunstig relasjon mellom BAPPI og pris. Hvorfor snakker vi ikke om kvalitet? Tja. Hva er kvalitet? Hvis kvalitet innen kunst var noe objektivt og absolutt hvorfor verdsatte ingen Van Gogh s arbeider mens han levde? Kvalitet er det bare du som kan vurdere. Vi vurderer BAPPI kontra pris. 31
