"We cry for the
transcendent, for
the simple. The
weight of routine
crowds and
crushes. The search
for meaning is
buried in the senses."

D. Lawrence Coyle is an award winning artist who works primarily by commission. Inspired by gnostic and esoteric influences, the artist sees his role as essentially a mediator and transformer of energies. In his work, forms are cast in the light of illumination where what is being experienced is a certain structure of experience.
Art becomes the Great Revealer, opening to the senses an inner world of meaning to an outer world of form. It is the sense of the Sacred and the Soul's journey through this world of form that defines his art. Art is raised from allegory to identification where image is expressed in the fire of creation. We are all part of this spiritual process. It is how these images are conveyed and woven together and with what intent that determines the force and quality of perception. The clearer the vision the more compassionate the response.
His art affirms this process of Spirit in form. It is the identification of the self with all selves and the Unity of Life underlying the human condition, especially those suffering in the face of violence and oppression, that motivates his work. Through the power of the image, art offers a way out of limitation by demonstrating through recognition that as we think and as we image, so we become.
Art uplifts and heals us by being receptive to these inner energies. Through the sense of extended vision, we come to realize that we are all part of a Greater Whole where the seen and the unseen become one and a link is established. It is this identity of connection and commonwealth of shared vision that the artist renders in each of his works, by projecting images that renew and expand the Spiritual in the world of form.
