Traditionally an annual experience at CoSM, this will be the first full week seminar that the two have facilitated in person since 2019. Allyson Grey, Alex Grey, Amanda Sage & Joe Bob Merritt listening to participant Emma Garrard talk about her painting during Mixtek Mystics 2018. Amanda Sage and Joe Bob Merritt have masterfully woven their teachings together, crafting an enriching and effective learning experience tailored to individuals of all skill levels with a passion for art and an interest in personal transformation. This upcoming seminar is centered around exploring innovative Mixtek painting techniques while delving deep into Mystic Teachings. Mixtek Mystics 2018 at CoSM group photo. MIXTEK ‘Mischtechnik’, means ‘Mixed Technique’. Developed by early visionary European renaissance masters such as Hieronymus Bosch and Van Eyck, this indirect painting process was revived by the Austrian painter Ernst Fuchs in the 1950’s ‘Paradise Tree’ by Ernst Fuchs Fundamentals of the Mischtechnik have been adopted by many painters working with fantastic and visionary subject matter, as the transparencies and use of light in the development of a painting are exquisite and lend to an ease of rendering the subties, transparencies, and complexities of visionary experiences. ‘The Great Wave of Trainsformation’ acrylic, casein & oil on canvas 4x6’ - 2020-21 by Amanda Sage & Joe Bob Merritt Amanda was first introduced to this method in 1996 by Michael Fuchs and Philip Rubinov-Jacobson, which led to a 2 year apprenticeship with Michael Fuchs. She then worked for 10 years as a painting assistant to Ernst Fuchs. Since 2011, Amanda has taught workshops based on this technique while continually integrating and evolving the MixTek approach in her own work. Ernst Fuchs, Amanda Sage & Michael Fuchs 2013 - Vienna at the Galerie 10 Amanda will guide participants in her approach to the Mischtechnik, which she refers to as 'Painting with Light.' During the seminar we will explore various techniques and materials through lectures and hands-on experience while creating paintings using basic and advanced concepts of this process of in-direct painting. Sequence example of the development of a painting While participants can choose their subjects, Amanda encourages working on self-portraits from a mirror, as this project offers the chance to deeply study both inner and outer aspects of the self. ‘Arise’ by Amanda Sage - acrylic, casein & oil on wood - 2014 Studio demonstrations on glazing and the Imprimatura MYSTICS Amidst painting demonstrations and studio sessions, Joe Bob will deliver a series of talks on “The Science of Man’s Conscious Self Evolution”. These insights stem from mystical origins and were further developed into a psychetechnical framework by the late Dr. Bob Gibson. Drawing from over 25 years of engagement with these ideas, Joe Bob will humorously, precisely, in a rather common-folk way, share these ideas that describe techniques for investigation and experimentation, designed to be worked with in the midst of everyday life. The concepts covered in these lectures will include maps of the elements comprising the knowable aspects and behaviors of the self, the function of awareness, descriptions of obstructions to awareness, and ways to integrate the ideas into one’s artistic practice that may contribute to one’s ability to understand one’s self in relationship with Life and thus strengthen one’s ability to function creatively with and in Life.

He believes that art making provides one with innumerable opportunities to develop sensory clarity, strengthen concentration skills, and cultivate powers of equanimity. He believes that the efforts that we as artists make in the cultivation of these skills contribute to the possibility of having direct experiences of freedom from mechanical conditioning and habitual re-actions, thus increasing the probability of intelligent, response-able, and creative activity in the midst of everyday life situations. josephrobertmerritt.com http://southmaingunnison.com/ ‘The Wind in the Meat’ acrylic, casein & oil on canvas by Amanda Sage & Joe Bob Merritt The real magic's gonna happen in the studio, where y'all will be helpin' each other out, growin' together, and fine-tunin' your craft while seein' the world from different angles.
