Luke Brown’s visionary art is an open portal into the higher-
dimensions of our being. Riding on the wings of the creative
imagination, Luke is being dreamed up as a medium, oracle
and amplifier for a deeper process of awakening that is unfolding
in the collective mind-field of our species. In creatively giving such
unique and vivid shape and form to his inner experience, which
is to say himself, Luke is stepping into the archetypal role of
shaman and healer for the community at large, which in this
case is the whole human species. In being in-formed by and
creatively translating the deeper transpersonal energies that are
pulsing through him into a communicable language, he taps into
forms, vibrations, revelations and realizations that exist in the formless,
synchronic, archetypal dimension of consciousness itself. This is a
dimension existing “outside of time” – which, like hidden treasures of the soul,
are waiting to be discovered, formulated and brought forth so as to be rendered into
visible form at the right moment “in time.” His creative visions are like healing
enzymes, or time-release multi-vitamins that the underlying unified and unifying
field of the divine, cosmic imagination organically secretes when inspiration is
needed in our world. His creative spirit is giving voice to and
answering the call of the deeper spirit of our time. Luke’s art is
a materialization in the third dimension of a sacred liturgy, an
alchemical holy and whole-making ritual in which consciousness
is explicating and expanding itself in-form and time. His visionary
art simultaneously reflects and catalytically effects an expansion of
consciousness throughout the underlying field of the collective
unconscious. A form of mystical activism, Luke’s work is an example,
in full-bodied form, of how we can “conspire” – meaning to breathe
together – so as to “co-inspire” each other. Luke’s creative imagination
truly sparks our own, which is to say that appreciating the creative
spirit that moves through him is to appreciate, access, and en-liven
our own.
A genuine spiritual practice made material, Luke’s art co-joins the opposites of spirit
and matter in such a way that matter has become animated with spirit and spirit has
materialized in shape, form and living color. Re-creating, transfiguring and healing himself
through his creative process, Luke’s work becomes imbued, encoded and empowered
with this very same transformative energy. Because his creative act is a sacred, higher-
dimensional form of worship and communion with the universe and himself, his work
becomes a living receptacle of and testament to this experience of awakening, making this
experience of transcendence openly available to all of us in an act of living transmission.
Luke’s creative works are timeless and magical artifacts from the other side, symbolic
messages from beyond time and space and outside the conceptual mind, acting like
transducers of the semantic, symbolic power encoded in the human psyche. To say this
differently, the art of Luke Brown by-passes the mind and speaks directly to the heart
and soul of humanity itself, where it touches and activates something deep within us.
“Psycho-activating” beyond belief, Luke’s art activates the psyche and stimulates our
own dreaming imagination, a direct experience which, nonlocally speaking, leaves no
one unchanged.
