“The Chakra Suite” opens on Saturday, January 21 at 2pm.
A few years ago I was plunged into the mysterious and beautiful world of shamanic healing. It wasn’t a choice, more of an imperative - an order from spirit. I accepted the role and embarked on a new and additional career. As I explored and healed through the various chakras, it was so clear to me that my work in the spiritual realm of colour was a direct tie-in to the physical world of my colourful paintings.
Elevation Gallery is proud to announce that we will be hosting the first major exhibition by Edmonton based artist Ian Sheldon in more than 4 years.
For many reasons, Ian has minimized his painting practice drastically since 2012, leaving many fans awaiting new works.
We have eagerly awaited new works knowing that Ian would be painting again soon! And WOW, has he ever been painting!
“The Chakra Suite” is based upon the 7 colours in the Sandskrit Chakra wheel, and how those colors influence our well-being on many levels. Each painting in this series represents one or more of the healing chakra colours, while simultaneously invoking the power of the Canadian landscape experience.
