STRANGE FIGURATIONS
Twenty Four Inexplicable Artists
September 8 - October 3, 2010
Reception: Saturday, September 11, 5-7pm
Strange Figurations focuses our attention on unusual and inexplicable figurative art forms.
Some works seem intended to shock us with meaningless weirdness, weirdness for it’s own sake. Other pieces tell stories and although strange in appearance, have political and cultural messages attached. Overall the intent is to provoke thought, through direct symbolism, storytelling and by touching our innate, primal curiosity.
The Limner Gallery will be open during the exhibition for public viewing Wednesday to Saturday 12-5pm. The gallery is also open by appointment.

Dear Members,
After the success of our London show at La Galleria we are pleased to announce a new submission call, for our next show. The exhibition will take place in Chicago this November at the very prestigious Murphy Hill Gallery ( Go to Murphy Hill Gallery) opening November 3rd 2010.
We need to have all SUBMISSIONS to the Society before 31 July 2010 so start thinking about what work you would like to submit now!
To coincide with this exhibition we are changing our submission procedure to make it completely free for members to submit their work. We will cover costs by charging a reasonable but higher than usual hanging fee, per selected piece. Submissions will be digital unless you do not have a computer. We will post full details on how to submit on the website soon.
We would also like to take this opportunity to let you know of the other upcoming shows the Society is organising. In 2011 an exhibition of painted umbrellas and shoe sculptures will be held in the USA, a submission call for this will also be placed on the website early in 2011. We are having a dialogue with a gallery in LA, and further ahead we have plans for a Sacred Art exhibition probably in the UK, for which we are seeking sponsorship.
So please keep an eye on the website because we don't want you to miss the submission dates for these exciting projects.
If you did not receive an email re. the above, it could be because we do not have your current email address.
All the best,
Marnie Pitts
Secretary for the Society for Art of Imagination |

“Triptykon"- The Painting: A Brief Commentary
The manifold occult correspondences of all three artists come to fruition within the album release. Three, being a powerful numerological portent, embodies generation, perfection, and deity. Castiglia's contribution, Triptykon, (a specially created portrait of the members of the group, painted in the artist’s own blood, 86 x 86 cm, blood/iron oxide on archival paper, 2009), is likewise deeply laden with occult symbolism which harmonizes with both the evocations of Giger and Triptykon, namely endowing each band member with a talisman representing the traits of each quarter of the group; a foreboding astral catharsis culled from the ‘unseen world’ to commemorate the band's formation, and procession.
In keeping with semantics, Triptykon's release features the real-life “triptych" and three-fold collaboration between Triptykon the band (founded by Tom Warrior), renowned Swiss surrealist H.R. Giger, and Vincent Castiglia for the first time within the same platform. As Celtic Frost fans will summon to mind the iconic cover album artwork for the band's 1985 release, to Mega Therion, featuring H.R. Giger's 1977 painting, Satan I, Giger's contribution to Eparistera Daimones marks a resurgence of the collaboration. Castiglia, a close friend of Warrior’s as well as being the first American artist to receive a solo exhibition invitation from the H.R. Giger Museum Gallery in Gruyères, Switzerland, becomes the third aspect of the dark "triptych".
Eparistera Daimones also marks the occasion of Castiglia’s poster-premier. Along with HR Giger's painting ,Vlad Tepes, Castiglia’s painting Triptykon will additionally be featured as a fold-out poster within the LP vinyl edition of the album; the first time his artwork is made available in poster form.
The original painting is currently in Castiglia’s collection. Details as to its availability will be published later in 2010.
The Museum of Porn in Art presents
"Remedy for The Living II"
a solo exhibition by VINCENT CASTIGLIA
The American artist works in the tradition of surrealism and visionary art. When asked for his artist statement, the artist replies, "My paintings tend to depict iconographic forms, vital and nectrotic juxtapositions, and reinterpretations of transpersonal experience." Vincent Castiglia, the 27-year old painter, is the first American artist to have a solo exhibition at the H.R. Giger Museum's gallery in Gruyères.
