Entitled: ART SPIRIT NOW  : The New Renaissance

Here is their description and a link to their site: http://www.artspiritnow.org/

Throughout time, artist-philosophers have created pathways of wisdom to elucidate the subtle nature of life’s great mysteries.

Drawing upon ageless roots of inspired genius, art’s perpetual offering to illuminate a unifying life source is nourished.

Art Spirt is alive to propel artists whose life works exemplify great visions set forth by masters of our past and present.

New Motion Demo Reel

A new demo reel of my motion graphics work from 2007-2008. This arrangment has a stronger focus on my effects work, which is more integral with my artistic vision. enjoy..

my art at the NAAM

I currently have an exhibit featuring some new art, at the Naam restaurant in Vancouver.  Located a 2724 West 4th Ave, near Kitsilano beach. This is an honor for me to be showing in one of my favorite restaurants. Please check it out if you’ve never been, if not for the art then for the ymmy vegetarian food!

Interdimensional Art Show Tour

This is a grand event, fronted by Tribe 13, representing a collective of international visionary artists. I’ll have my latest piece, “Caduceus” in the show.

Press Release as follows:

The combined power of Tribe 13, IAMUnified and Starborne Productions has turned our annual Seattle event into a full fledged tour!

Featuring an incredible array of visionary artists from the world over, a  lineup of cutting edge musicians and djs, full flavor fashion shows and amazing art installations.  Come share in this transformative experience and collective celebration of the new culture.

The Interdimensional Art Show has been born to answer a call to need of community development and individual appreciation. In a nut shell the Interdimensional Art Movement declares a collective with no boundaries to thoughts and expression, it is a foundation to welcome and nurture creativity within people. The acronym IAM is the symbol of individuality. It is fundamental to appreciate and celebrate the individuals the make up our communities.

The Annual Interdimensional Art Show which showcases art, music and fashion is an interactive platform to inspire culture. In the past 6 years the IAS took place in seattle for a yearly epic night to remember and maintain a strong following. This year we are excited to offer the IAS as a tour down the west coast and interweave communities that have been creatively mingling together for a long while now. Now is our chance to come out and get to know and strengthen the west coast alliance.

Caduceus

from This Moment of stillness, comes healing

In this one I brought my oil painting of This Moment (in previous post above) ,into Painter, and my intention was to thin the veil enough and still resonate with the stillness and form of the original oil paining, without it looking to digitized.

New oil paintings

These two have been in the works on and off for some time. “This Moment” was started in 2006 and put aside until recently. “Form in Formless” was started while I was in school in 2007 and then also put aside until recently. At this stage I can see so many more potential layers, however there is something nice about leaving them they way they are, evoking others into using their own imagination.

Zeitgeist Addendum

Zeitgeist Addendum is one of the most profound and inspiring films I have ever seen. Out of the two Zeitgeist films, I find Addendum to be more positive by offering possible social and environmental solutions, as well as on a spiritual level.

A massive movement has spawned from the Zeitgiest films called, The Zeitgiest Movement. Along with The Venus Project, thier aims are to help inspire people to re-create an evolved and harmonious humanity living symbiotically with the earth and it’s shared inhabitants in a resource based economy, rather than the slavery of a monetary based economy.

Eric Nez, new banner art

This selection of banner art is my friend Eric Nez. He has an amazing ability to beuatifuly merge imagery of galactic consciousness with earthly consciousness.  Please check out his site: www.ericnez.com

My art at 101 in Sechelt

Here is the write up by Jan Degrass in the Coast Reporter ( a local news paper on the Sunshine Coast ) about my current exhibit.

“The artist on show at 1-0-1 Office Supply on Cowerie St. in Sechelt this month is Simon Haiduk, who has provided representational works as well as abstract. His landscapes are luminous, textured treatments of the rain coast while the abstracts are visionary pieces evocative of yantras and artifacts of Eastern spiritual practices – recursive, symetric and highly detailed. The work features original oils and acrylics as well as canvas-printed reproductions, some with one -of-a-kind custom framing”

Bridging Worlds closing party – sort of

Since this is marking the end of our show at The Fall, I’m deeming it our ‘closing party’. And a good one it will be with some delicous down tempo by Bluetech and some other sonic waves by Pitch Black and Byron Dreamweaver.

I’ll also be having a silent auction of some of my large canvas prints, vinyl prints, and even some originals!
