Myth & Medium

Myth & Medium: The Art of Dave Alber is an art catalogue focusing on mythological themes. The graphic work offers a glimpse into the simultaneity of the present moment, the artistic vision, and the mythological theme underlying the work. The catalogue, which displays over fifty pieces of art in a variety of medium, also contains information about the art, the artist, and three related essays: The Myth of Prometheus; Frame, Crucible, Cosmos, Seeing Through the Boundaries of Epic; and The Discriminating Yoga of the Tiger's Psyche, Captain Sir Richard Francis Burton's Tantric Adventure. Dave Alber's book Myth and Medium is a courageous work that combines prose poetry and painting, two of the timeless forms that tap the numinous roots of art. I hope his work inspires artists everywhere to stretch their own mythic imagination.
