"Allegory of the Soul" or, "Parable of the Artist", Dali in Sugar Collaboration - 1/23/19
The work of Salvador Dali has always been a huge influence on my surrealistic style. His piece "Allegory of the Soul" has always spoken to me from another level of consciousness. I see the caterpillar of the Soul, which burrows into the warm, mortal cocoon of physical existence, where it incubates in the brainpan. That is, until the now-mature, metamorphosed spirit gains inertia and rips through the doughy illusions of the everyday mundane. The Shadow, the projection of this experience, captured on canvas for the observation and education of all, is what we label as "Art".
I call this, my re-creation of Dali's sketch, "Parable of the Artist".
This Art was created as part of an amazing collaboration of 47 sugar artists from all over the world, who have come together to celebrate Dali, 30 years after his death. Be sure to view the entire project, it has some incredible pieces of Sugar Art, inspired by incredible Art.
