About 24 Peaces
With the purpose of igniting each person's own individual ability to create and affect peace, GENE and the project team is conducting a series of twenty-four conversations with both preeminent peacemakers and a cross section of "every-day people" from diverse backgrounds and cultures around the world. Additionally GENE is creating twenty-four paintings based on the energy and content of these conversations. The final result will be a traveling art exhibit, a 24 Peaces website (24peaces.org), and a documentary film. Proceeds from the completed project will benefit twenty four world wide charities.
The project has already met with such notable peacemakers as Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith, Marianne Williamson, and others.
About the artist GENE
Southern California based artist GENE's unique works are inspired by the simple and natural movement of the human form. Creating with energetic rhythm, and using mediums such as unused latex house paint, GENE's powerful images describe not only the motion of the body, but also the movement of the intangible: energy and stillness, soul and spirit. Working intuitively, spontaneously, and at times in front of a live audience, GENE allows the painting to form itself as he seeks to portray the "human spirit at play."
He has shown in art galleries from California to New York, in both solo and select group shows. He resides in Orange County, California, with his family, where he was born and raised. His art is available online at www.studiogene.com
