Viola's artistic
practice relies on craft, clarity and a vision of the world that springs
from beneath the surface of observable phenomena.
He has over the last 25 years developed his own vocabulary and vision along with an innovative approach to video. His work is informed by a set of spiritual values that have had a profound impact on his development.. He draws his inspiration from eclectic sources such as Zen Buddhism, Christian mysticism, the physics of optics and the mechanisms of perception, the islamic Lyric poetry of Sufi masters like Jeluddin Rumi, and the distinctly American freeverse of Walt Whitman, his art reaches to touch the sources of knowledge that reside within everyday experience. |
