One is the first number. It stands alone. I see One as the initial point of awareness, a straight line from the genesis of the universe to life on Earth. In the Tarot, One is The Magician who symbolizes “As Above, So Below.” The innate qualities and energy of One tie its singularity to the multitude of all else that comes after. One exposes itself and completely owns the consequences of being seen in its oneness – its aloneness. I imagine One can represent the many who are able to see and feel through its primordial strength.
Deirdre Sullivan-Beeman a self-taught figurative and contemporary surrealist painter who combines 14th century painting techniques and magic realism to create pieces that appear to glow from within. Celebrating the hard-earned wisdom of childhood, she depicts subjects that are often young, hauntingly innocent, and teetering on the edge of naïveté.
Celebrating the hard-earned wisdom of childhood, her subjects are often young, hauntingly innocent, and teetering on the edge of naïveté. She uses her personal dream journal to provoke her artwork, exploring Jung’s collective unconscious with an overt curiosity for the bizarre and the esoteric, especially alchemy and the tarot. Her work has been shown at Corey Helford Gallery and La Luz de Jesus Gallery in Los Angeles, CA; Gristle Gallery in Brooklyn, NY; C Emerson Fine Arts in St. Petersburg, FL; and Greg Moon Art in Taos, NM. She currently lives and works in Hollywood, California.
