About the artist:

Norman Galinsky’s abstract geometric art has been inspired and informed by his background in science and engineering, and his ongoing interest and study of meditative and energy healing disciplines and consciousness explorations. He sees his artwork as an embodiment and transmitter of energy, particularly energy with healing potential. Using a vocabulary of abstract geometric forms and free-hand applied repetitive marks, patterns are developed that contain the energy and facilitate its flow. The compositions are created through an intuitive, meditative approach, a practice of focused attention and intention. The images suggest emissions of waves and particles, vibratory fields and networks. The work strives to bridge the space between the material world and a hidden quantum universe. Often sacred geometric shapes and proportions and converging circular forms are used to generate a central

focus – a “stillpoint” that represents a unity of consciousness, a merging of subject and object.

There is an intention that the work will encourage contemplation and introspection and promote a sense of equilibrium and balance. The images may be viewed as potential vehicles for connecting the personal space with the universal order and drawing one into a dialog with the present moment. His artwork has also been influenced by his more than 30-year study, practice, and teaching of Chinese martial and healing arts, including Taiji Quan and qigong, which are exercises based on internal energy development. He has taught these forms in his studio as well as in area hospitals, including New York Presbyterian (under the direction of Dr. Mehmet Oz), Englewood Hospital, Nyack Cancer Center, and St. John’s Riverside Hospital in Yonkers, NY.
