El Milagro del Tornado

Mark Bautch AKA Satyarthi — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 02:01:14 GMT

On May 22, 2011 at 12:55 pm I began to paint this image of the goddess Coaltlique (she is mother of gods and the goddess of death and rebirth) [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coatlicue]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C oatlicue[/url] and I combined Coatlicue with the Virgin of Guadalupe. At 2;30 pm a tornado came though our neighborhood in North Minneapolis destroying hundreds of homes. Killing two people and injuring dozens more. Miraculously, our home was not damaged. Perhaps the goddess and the virgin protected us. The painting will be in a group show "Grupo Soap del Corazoan " . the exhibition is titled "El Milagro " at Intermedia Arts 2822 South Lyndale Avenue in Minneapolis. The show opens on August 3rd the actual opening night is Saturday night, August 20th, from 7-10 p.m. As with all Grupo Soap exhibitions, opening night will be a fiesta, filled with wonderful art, great music and food, intermingling cultures, lots of interesting people – and great joy that Grupo Soap has survived and prospered for over ten years.

Drowning Forest

Mark Bautch AKA Satyarthi — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 05:21:39 GMT

In 1987 10 inches of rain fell on Minneapolis in 3 short hours. The massive deluge drained into the Minnehaha Creek watershed. I witnessed the rush of water as it flooded Minnehaha Park.

Never Wake A Slave If He's Dreaming He's A Prince

Mark Bautch AKA Satyarthi — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 05:00:08 GMT

This painting illustrates a quote from my spiritual master: "Never Wake A Slave If He's Dreaming He's A Prince". Simply put, if someone is living in a state of denial, do not try to awaken them to the true nature of their self, or you will incur their wrath. You would then have to be capable of supporting them through the consequences of living their life as a lie and help them to discover their true path. Who among us is qualified to tell someone else how to live their life?

Transformacion de Frida Kahlo

Mark Bautch AKA Satyarthi — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 05:13:16 GMT

I was almost finished with this painting when I read this excerpt from Frida Kahlo's diary In "The Camera Seduced" the Frida Kahlo Memoir by Elena Poniatowska with photo essay by Carla Stellweg The Frida inside is only known to me. only I can tolerate her. She weeps, she has fever, she is in heat, she's ferocious, full of desires for a man, for a woman, desire that exhausts. Desire wears you down, empties you, makes you useless. I lost my life and regained it many times. Life came back drop by drop as if by transfusion, a kiss from Diego, his mouth on mine. Life left me again in another operation. During thirty years I have had thirty two operations. In the last one they amputated my leg. "Feet why do I need them if I have wings to fly" For more info Contact: Douglas Padilla (Art Jones Gallery), 612-275-2835
