Original, One of a KindAbout This Piece
Aculina’s Areion is conversant with the major movements in abstraction while remaining distinctly rooted in her own Greek cultural background. Wassily Kandinsky founded the group the Blue Rider. His circle of painters believed that color had higher meaning. For them, blue was the color of spiritual enlightenment. Aculina’s rider delivers the same message of spiritual enlightenment, but instead of Kandinsky’s placid blue, her rider is enveloped in a firestorm of red and yellow. We see broken wheels beneath the hooves of the horse. Areion tells us that change will come but it won’t be easy. Spiritual enlightenment is possible but only if we fight to transform society for everyone. Areion was the name of a powerful horse in Greek mythology. Areion was ridden by Hercules on his adventures. Where Kandinsky felt enlightenment could be achieved by focussing only on the transformation of the self, Aculina calls for a warrior to transform society for the betterment of everyone.
