- Item Number
- 132
Item Description
This three-dimensional piece is the creation of Hexagon artist Jeff Richards.
Jeff says of Eros and Agape that "Eros, when stripped of its association with sexuality, is in its basic sense simply the aspect of love expressed in desire. This desire might be toward another human, toward union with Spirit or God or Source, even toward one’s authentic self. It might be said that evolution is the manifest universe’s expression of Eros. Agape is the aspect of love that is expressed in compassion and embrace. This is not only a human love through compassion but Spirit’s embrace reaching back to Humanity’s desire. In this sense Eros and Agape are the Yin and Yang of love – Eros’ Yang expressed in creative desire, Agape’s Yin expressed in receptive compassion, each completing the other."
Jeff says of his education in fine art that he spent seven years completing a BA and MFA in Studio Art and Sculpture respectively and the next seven years "unlearning" all he'd been taught, finally beginning on what he regarded as his "real work."
