What is the origin of inspiration? Some believe that an artist’s inherent nature, like the seed, carries within it the complete pattern for the development and expression of his or her creativity.

As time and the right conditions ignite one’s artistic fodder, what has been hidden is revealed just as the seedling finally quickens and breaks through the earth’s crust reaching for the light.

The SEED exhibition explores the origins of inspiration bringing over 80 artists and a variety of artistic medias including photography, sculpture, drawing, painting and installation to the Citadel Studios Gallery in San Jose.

One of the most interesting concept exhibitions of 2013, SEED will also feature artist portraits accompanied by a personal story detailing the critical factors that propelled them to a lifetime of creative expression.

About Heart of Chaos

Heart of Chaos (HOC) was created with the financial & inspirational support of Catalyst for Youth, a 501 (c) 3 California corporation. The core idea was to provide a venue for emerging and under-recognized artists, writers, poets, musicians, performance artists and photographers to showcase and market their work. Mentoring through communication with established artists enriches both parties and fosters new ideas and inspiration.
