Orpheus and Linead


The secret of Orpheus is hidden (or encoded) in the images — the secret of the flight out of the hell and into the Earth-world, and, ultimately, into the Divine Domain of Conscious Light.

Avatar Adi Da Samraj


Adi Da’s digital drawings are informed by a complex vocabulary of forms, colors, and spiritual concepts. In His suites, Orpheus One and Linead One, He uses two major visual elements in each work, which He calls lineads and geomes. Lineads are hand-drawn gestural marks and curvilinear lines; geomes are solid geometric shapes. There is a momentum that takes place as the lineads uncoil upon the harmoniously positioned blocks of colors or the geomes. Together these forms unite to create a sense of dynamism and movement within the drawings.

The Quandra Loka Suite

Adi Da writes about His Quandra Loka Suite:

Quandra Loka is a visual meditation on a very simple circumstance: a woman in and near a pool of water. Narcissus, the archetype of ego, gazes at his own reflection in a pond, never able to contact the "object" of his self-enamored affection. But Quandra, the true beloved, is one with the water itself, whether in or out of the pool.

I shot the majority of the images in Quandra Loka underwater, or with the camera lens partially submerged in water, so that the water functions as a vast and subtly complex lens, achieving visual results not possible by any technical means. The images are made by a "technique" that requires continuous participation in the living instant of the photographic situation — sensitive to the constantly changing sunlight conditions, the ever-shifting minute movements of the subject, and even my own ability to stay submerged underwater. This "method" is beyond conceptual effort, beyond conventions of control in the ordinary sense, beyond point of view. This process of generating images — involving absolute awareness of every detail of what is occurring and (simultaneously) an intuitive trust in allowing the ultimately unpredictable process to take place — is a means of allowing reality to be self-manifested.

I intend these images to "picture" the unity of the undifferentiated reality from which all appearances emerge in a constant flow of changes. The entire span of human possibilities is reflected in these images — both "positive" and "negative." But all possibilities are seen in the context of that inherent unity or indivisible space. The positives and the negatives are all transcended, rather than any attempt being made to render them acceptable in and of themselves.

Richard OsbourneIt was a bit of a drama because the exhibition walls weren't even built when we arrived on Tuesday. So two days later, and with a great deal of care by devotees and many others, Adi Da is finally in London!
