It’s a pagan world

At present, Hugh is Partner/Director of The Crosscircle Group which holds seminars on art and myth based on his book, The Galactic Superwave Tarot, which incorporates symbolism, astrology, numerology, and comparative religion in the art of the major arcana of the Tarot. When asked what it is he loves about art and the Tarot, Hugh replies, ＂It reflects the cosmos and our place in it and allows me to express myself in a wide range of mixed media. Borrowed imagery from archaic icons from ancient manuscripts, classical, religious and & mythical art has become the focus of his compositions. In discussing his work, Bryan says; ＂all my art is in some way about other art, whether impressionistic, realistic or abstract. Hugh’s interest in Platonic philosophy and Classical themes provide him with the opportunity to explore mythological subjects as well as traditional religious themes.＂ Hugh Colmer’s impressionistic abstractions are deeply personal statements that seek to provide a transcendental experience; he describes his work as a simple expression of complex thought. He was drawn to remove divine icons from their conventional context and place them in ever expanding realms of abstraction, bringing humanity and the cosmos into a closer relationship.
