Tiger Dreams is the first in a series of Eaken's exotic wildlife prints to be added to Skyland's line-up. In 1998 Bill began pursuing his own mystical vision in fine art. Sometimes playful, and sometimes deeply personal, the poetic, philosophical, and mystical continues to be at the core of his work. He loves working with the sculptural beauty and drama of human and animal forms, often juxtaposing them, exploring the tensions between the intellect and the deeper animal energies that the modern world seeks to suppress, or market to, producing only chaos. Bill's paintings are expressions of the desire to reunite the two forces, moving, not back to the primitive, but forward, to a transcendent worldview, where the distinction no longer exists. "What I'm trying to do is not so much paint visual representations, but visual poems. I think of it as 'Romantic Symbolism.' They are romantic in that beauty and sensuality are core values. But they are symbolic in that personal and philosophical meaning runs very deep, even when it's not immediately obvious to the viewer." His fine work has appeared in many galleries in California, Hawaii, and Florida. ARE YOU A SKYLAND FACEBOOK FAN YET? You can generously help us by becoming a fan of Skyland Gallery on Facebook.
