My work experiential and is made up of three components: music, meditation and paintings, creating a pool of auditory and visual influences. I use art and music, as a means to examine the transparency, synesthesia, and liminality between sight and sound, mind and body, in addition to consciousness and perception. Using meditation as a vehicle, the content of my work is driven by the sacred and universal interpretation of music. Guided by spiritual and esoteric themes I explore relationships of art and music and how they activate metaphysical aspects of our being.
About Me:
My name is John Plehinger, or Droplitz. I have always been interested in art and music. I started making art as soon as I could hold a pencil and I began drumming as a young child. In 4th grade I began selling my drawings at the post office and grocery store to make money for my own art and music supplies. When reading music, I would look away from the sheet music and begin to see the notes flying through the air towards me. My artwork reflected this seemingly natural ability to visualize audio. Ideas sprang from my mind like sound from a drum; I couldn’t seem to draw them fast enough. Most of my art in high school was trying to draw my interpretation of music, of sound in general. Over the years my art and music became one in the same. The process of creating became fluid.... droplets (Droplitz) from the same pool of inspiration.
So many incredible live painters come create in the unified field...
Who are your favorite visual artists? Who would you most like to see creating live on site?
