There are three aspects to the three central themes that are apparent in all of Loren Adams' Artwork. He clearly paints in three different genre, all of which are his own style & consistantly returns to these aspects in all of his paintings.
These are: "The Natural World, The Cultural World & The Spiritual World" The Natural World is depicted in three central themes & genre each theme is in series: "The"The Worlds of Nature & Conservation & Series, Journey to Belonging Series & The Early Masterworks Series." All of these works are depictions of mans involvement with nature and many of them have the open ocean or the coastal seascape as a featured subject. Many are coastal landscapes with rock formations, cliffs, mountains & dramatic skys. Some are very detailed with an added sailboat or several. Many of these boats or in some cases ships are very exacting in historical significance. The Journey to Belonging Series features a vessel in some aspect to the sea. The Early Masterworks Series is a body of his Masterpieces that seem to be in a league all by themselves... in that they trully are magnificant in every way. Most of them are larger works that took lots of time to create. Many of them are in Museums and important collections.
The Cultural World contains many more complicated aspects like architecture and more historical significance. Many are based on the Artist's conceptual depictions of the fragments of "pre-historical" facts found in the pages of many books on the Lost Continent of Mu, Atlantis & the Lost Cities of South America as well as the othe Lost Cities that Mr. Adams likes to read about. Loren Adams has written permission to quote freely and to illustrate the 5 books by Col. James Churchward: The Lost Continent of Mu, The Children of Mu, The Sacred Symbols of Mu & the two volumes on the Cosmic Forces of Mu that were published in the 1930's. Over fifty of Loren Adams' originals were inspired by reading these books.
The Spiritual World has three aspects also with three different styles & genre to fully portray the Artist's serious nature as well as his own spiritual developement. The main theme in the large body of work is: "The Journey to the City of God" He refers to this as "Citadel Divina" which portays all 12 tribes in their search for the truth through their own Sacred writtings. The Spirit World is also in 3 aspects & genres: "Visionary, Classic Surrealism & Nuclear Mysticsism" In the Visionary works the natural world is the setting for the Spiritual images. In the Classic surrealism the juxtaposition of many of the natural elements with visions are painstakingly brought to life by the touch of this masters hand. They all tell stories which lead to Spiritual enlightenment. The Nuclear Mysticsism Series is another large series that reveals the many aspects of the Nine Time Cells which have been beautifully depicted as brilliant briolets known / refered to as Merkabah AKA The Merkabah Vehicle Tetragramatron. In all of his Artwork Loren Adams has maintained a level of mastery that is beyond words or "xenoglossic" beyond what any tongue can tell. If you have ever heard the saying: "a picture is worth a thousand words" perhaps you are starting to get the idea of what has been said!
