The Energy Spectrum 2011 and MS Healing 

The international Energy Art Movement (EAM) is now exhibiting in Meridian, MS, USA at the Meridian Museum of Art (MMA) between Oct. 5 – Nov. 26, with a reception on Oct. 29, 6-8 pm.

With over a hundred members around the globe from Romania to Japan and two from Mississippi, the Movement intends to build a multi-span bridge between various parts of the art world.

The Energy Spectrum 2011 is the 5th exhibition of the Movement, after successful exhibitions in Canada, Chicago, Memphis, and most recently the annual Energy Art Salon in Russia, all followedby media acclaim. The current exhibition intends to show the breadth of what energy art is able toexpress, as a "spectrum" of concepts and their depictions, analogously to the scientific idea of the lectromagnetic spectrum.

A wide range of styles, techniques, and mediums will be presented at the exhibition, from cutting edge digital fractal flame art, through detailed ink drawings done in hundreds of hours, to the emotive brushwork of energetic expressionism.

The Energy Art Movement is an international contemporary multimedia art movement, with three primary values: quality, diversity, and evolution – on the common ground of energetic depictions.

The Movement's values have been explicitly defined in its manifesto – which is its founding document – and its principles. Members believe that enhancing their creations with energy – either in composition or in subject matter – adds artistic value to their depictions. The Movement strives to follow a progressive trend of forward evolution in the Fine Arts, while embracing both traditional and digital media.

The Movement’s members draw from many earlier major styles – such as impressionism, expressionism, and futurism – while they enhance their work with energetic compositions which – according to their manifesto‘s reasoning – adds artistic value to them, and thus is a new stage of evolution and synthesis for those styles, and so for the Fine Arts.

As Organizer Giorgio Vaselli has stated: “I would like our messages to be revolutionary, yet nonradical.  Heard, yet not loud. Influential, yet non-confrontational. Clear, yet deep."
