DEVENDRA BANHART is ALSO .. quite an accomplished artist – as in: visual arts. <\/p>\n

his touch is very hands-on, inward, dreamy, symbolic .. musical. lyrical. mysterious. revelatory.<\/p>\n

it speaks, it SINGS .. of the inter-relatedness of man & cosmos. man & body. man & imagination\/mind. man & inner world. man & dreams.
\nman & the ‘trail’, the ‘path’ .. of creative thought.<\/p>\n

back when he first hit NEW YORK CITY, he used to show his work at various group shows, and at CANADA GALLERY.
\nthis is a piece he had in WHITE BOX gallery, a political show, just before some election, or something like that. <\/p>\n

‘hands’ usually play a featured role in the drawings .. as in guitar ? as in Middle Eastern ‘palm up’ ?
\nas in eastern Indian mythology .. as in: the hand you are dealt ?!! <\/p>\n

you can see the hands evolving here, at each side .. at the bottom .. border corners. and the ‘capping’ hand at the center – top.<\/p>\n

instead of big sweeps of line or gesture, his work usually is built up with small, rhythmic elements .. often in pairs.
\nmuch like how a musician uses notes, and harmony.
\npairs: yin. yang. male. female.
\nl-o-v-e ?<\/p>\n
