UnderOneSky

Dawn Csutoros is a visual and sound artist of Hungarian descent who relocated the centre of her artistic activities from Australia to Europe in 2016. The artist, who has exhibited internationally, including China, Japan, UK, Europe, US and Australia, works across a diverse range of media, from paintings and objects, through video installations to performance, as well as engaging audiences in large scale public art projects.

The main theme of her works is the constant search for the deeper levels of our being. Csutoros inspired by eastern philosophies invites the viewer to immerse themselves into an inner journey.

The UnderOneSky project features an immersive visual and sound installation, based on intimate, meditative experimental experiences along with works on paper and public engagement elements

The artworks reflect on the potential connections between the art, and an intimate experience of our own inner space and their effects thereof.

This touring project is to be realized in several different places around the world linking the east with the west.

The colour blue: an emblem for the intellect, contemplation and a universal symbol for the transcendental

Infinite Distance, Immediate Presence

“The entire Universe, according to scientific thought, originates from a single point which expands over time into a large ‘cosmic breath ‘, and finally returns to its original starting point.

During this time, we all should tune ourselves in harmony with the “Cosmic breath” to understand and to intuit sounds, signs and emotions useful to build the common good and therefore beauty.

This artist, who has traversed such “celestial origins”, has created an exhibition that is truly original, I would say where only “cosmic visions” are translated as signs and gestures of artistic expression and combined with primordial sound.

More than an art exhibition this work is an art pathway, removing the separation between artist and audience, and inviting us on a “common path” in search of our own origins.
Within us there is “a mine of wonders,” in some ways unexplored and unexpected, and exhibitions such as this help us to “dig” into the most intimate places within ourselves where we can discover answers which resonate to “ an absolute truth”.

I wish you “bon voyage” on your destination of distilling the sublime into pure forms of art which gaze freely into the essence of transcendent source.”

Prayer Ribbons

Outside each venue, stands a tree; blue silk ribbons are tied to the branches. Adults and children alike are invited to write their own personal wishes, dreams and hopes for the future onto their ribbons – creating branches of peace; a tree filled with hopes and prayers for the future, a tree of dreams, a tree of life.

The winds around the world blow through these wishes and dreams, spreading messages of hope and love across the planet.
