RetrOZpect – CHRIS DYER’s Notebook
Peruvian-Canadian artist, Chris Dyer was one of the new artists in the Valley this past summer, bringing his Positive Creations (http://positivecreations.ca) – spreading the message of cultural and spiritual oneness of humanity and beyond – to embellish our alternate reality, and add to the visionary backdrop.
The trace he left behind for us, and the future, is truly eye-popping, and will be there to greet us in the years to come in the form of a huge, vibrant mural packed with bright color and sun-spired energy.
But here’s the thing! He also let us have a sweet peak into his notebook, an illustrated diary he recorded his observances and thoughts in, a piece of artwork in itself, and allowed us to show you some of the pages too…
So enjoy this trip in time back to this year’s festival through a few pages of Chris’s art journal:

Making Sense of Visionary Art – OZORA ’23
ORSOLYA BAJUSZ works at the boundaries of contemporary art, exploring the intersection of science communication and contemporary art. At Ozora, she is… making sense of visionary art. Relating to art can happen on a level of personal, subjective experience (makes me feel something, and reminds me of something). Such experiences might have a commonality, for […]

OZORIAN ART – an OZORA 2022 art review
Translation of Hungarian “Ozorai művészet” by Orsolya Bajusz from artportal.hu Perhaps the sort of art that comes to be canonized is one that can be written about. Deconstructed. Conceptually, rationally interpreted. Didactic, clever art you can argue about. The consequence of this, however, is that (based on my observations) people pay more attention to objects […]
