…While Art is but a Vision of Reality

The Captured Vision

My Meditation of Him Shall Be Sweet

This Freeman meditating woman was executed on foamcore which was the back of a beverage advertisement.

Meditation

R.I.P. – Palin Perez Jackson

I first met Palin Perez Jackson in front of Urban Flats downtown.  This location is popular with local artists for displaying and selling their work.  I would frequently pass by while walking my dog Lily.  Many is the evening when Lily and I would stop and visit with the artists.  Palin was the guy I usually spent the most time with.  He was easy to talk to and intellectually engaging.  Over the course of the year I bought a few pieces from him.  It’s hard to believe he is gone.

He Maketh the Storm a Calm, So That the Waves Thereof Are Still

A classic meditating figure from Mr. Freeman’s imagination.

Imperturbable

Hunger is the Teacher of the Arts and the Bestower of Invention

I have only seen one female designated as a Teacher in Mr. Freeman’s creations.  I think this may have something to do with his need for good male role models.

The Teacher

Write the Vision, and Make it Plain Upon Tables

The Family

Resolution Trust

Here is a poor resolution photo of a piece from 2007.

Men Have Named You

An ambitious picture by Mr. Freeman that echoes the Renaissance or Baroque eras.

She Moves a Goddess, and She Looks a Queen.

The True Knight

For knighthood is not in the feats of warre, As for to fight in quarrel right or wrong, But in a cause which truth can not defarre:    He ought himself for to make sure and strong,    Justice to keep mixt with mercy among:    And no quarrell a knight ought to take    But for a truth, or for the common’s sake.                                           -Stephen Hawes The True Knight
