Efulgence From an Inner Light 

Editor: This drawing-print, "Efulgence From an Inner Light," by James Roman Andrus is incredibly striking. There's this ethereal quality, a delicate balance between structure and fluidity. What catches your eye when you look at it? Curator: Well, right away, I'm pulled into this dance between the geometric and the organic, wouldn't you say? It’s as if the artist is showing us how seemingly opposite forms can be intertwined. It reminds me a bit of musical composition, with its rhythm and flow, doesn’t it you? Editor: I can definitely see that musicality, how the lines curve and swell. The way those shapes almost bloom from the darkness feels pretty symbolic, too. It’s as though something internal is seeking outward expression. Do you read it as an optimistic piece, despite the somber tones? Curator: Oh, I agree completely. There is certainly a quiet kind of hope radiating through those lines! And for me, it's almost as though the light within is being filtered, like through stained glass, adding layers of complexity and intrigue to what might otherwise be pure, blinding radiance. But tell me, what feelings does this piece spark within you? Editor: Hmm, introspection, I think. It's like staring into my own potential. It also prompts questions. It looks spontaneous, but probably involved a great deal of effort? Curator: Ah, that is true about artwork generally - spontaneity may require significant preparation and hard work! Maybe a metaphor for life in general? Anyway, "Efulgence From an Inner Light" is a great name for a thoughtful drawing/print! Editor: Yeah! There's a certain beauty in the abstraction, inviting us to look inward. Curator: Yes, to engage with it. Thanks for this walk, my dear editor, I appreciate that I got the chance to let this “Inner Light” fill this world, for a while…
