Lend me your ear, and I will give you some lovely words to go with the visual feast of Stephen Wright's work.
Today is Steve's birthday. He's a young fellow with the hands of an old master......old school way, you work, and work and work some more, until you get to the finish line. This is the VIRGO way. Perfection is won via the countless hours of practice. Born with a STELLIUM (cluster of stars) in Virgo, he is wired to do this. And as you will see by his body of work, he does it well.
Steve is a friend and agreed to be the first artist featured on~ THE CREATIVE FLOWS. We shook hands on this, way back in 2012 over a game of chess (in which he beat me AGAIN).
But timing is everything, and just TODAY did the god's grant me freedom (and flow of words) to launch THE CREATIVE FLOWS.
And what a perfect day really, celebrating Steve's 52nd. Like a deck of cards he's holding a winning hand. YOU TOO might be, if you invest in his art.
Steve began drawing when he was five years old. Astrologically - it is interesting to me, that he was born when the Sun was at five degrees Virgo. The blue print of the life potential (which is what our birth chart is) often shows by degrees important events.
Five degrees= Five Years of age.
The Sun is the "I AM" of the birth chart- Steve's expression of his creative ideas/exploration would be awakened at that tender age. And the awakening would of been a bit of a mind explosion...that's never really stopped if you ask me! In 1962, two outer planets Uranus (lightening bolt) and Pluto (Go all the way-) were in detail oriented Virgo. Plus, Mercury which rules the mind, how it processes information was also in Virgo when he was born. FOUR planets all lined up in the earth sign of "get the job done, and do it correctly" Virgo. If you apply the energy to the canvas you get someone who can zoom in and have his viewer see "art" in the everyday, and see it in a beautifully detailed, yet UNUSUAL perspective.........
Here's a few of Steve's recent paintings:
SEE what I mean?
Steve is more than just his Virgo energy. We all are much much more than the promise of our Sun sign's particulars. But the sun is one of the most important factors in molding how we express ourselves. Currently, Neptune (imagination, water, spirit world) is activating Steve's Sun. Its been in an opposition to his Sun since May of 2013. It dissolves what you thought you knew, and asks that you explore in uncharted waters. For the next year we might continue to see Mr. Wright's work go through many changes. The details will be there- but the broader flow of it all might begin to emerge from his brush stroke. Neptune is in the water sign Pisces right now- Interesting the below painting is titled: "WEEPERS"
Next comes the Moon.The Moon reveals what we simply can not do without! Given a last request, we will ask for what our moon represents, which reveals our 'innermost' desires and needs. Steve was born with a LEO MOON. Key words- I MUST CREATE. Leo Moon also NEEDS TO SHINE. It utterly loves to play and the Arts certainly *DO* fall into that area, because it requires that you tap into your inner child innocent mode to pull rabbits out of the hat (or paintings). Leo is also the King of the zodiac line up, and I have no doubt at all that Mr. Wright will have his super shinning day on the throne of praised artists in his lifetime. Why? Because his North Node (what we came in this lifetime to do) is also in Leo. Fact- moon linked with north node= FAME. Ammaji the hugging saint once replied when someone asked her, "Will I be famous?" ........... " My child, if it is your destiny you can't not avoid it, and if its not written, nothing will bring it". Fame is written for Steve Wright (and if you goggle his name you can see he is already famous- :)).. (his work has been in TV shows, he's represented by a NY Gallery-
http://www.galleryhenoch.com/artists.html
and he's had several successful solo shows! His first show was in 2003. Just a few years after he began
"painting as a profession".
Stephen Wright will be known for his passion and commitment to drawing as well as his paintings. And I even see a 'teacher' in him. But, that will only come about on HIS TERMS. (remember the KING part?).
In the sky Jupiter has just entered Leo. When transiting Jupiter moves into the same sign as your birth moon, and your birth moon is favorably aspect-ed in your chart, all sorts of doors start to FLY open for you. Travel, Universities, sudden international fame and WINNING......are all avenues that can suddenly present themselves. Its a rather jolly time! It also correspond with moving. (so start looking Steve). We do not know exactly what time Steve was born, so I cannot be pinpoint predictive on the dates- but I do expect the rest of 2014 and ALL of 2015 are going to bring new and exciting chances for the world to know about this hard working artist that is committed to excellence in his life's mission. A slight warning- when the accolades pour in- don't let it uproot your natural good nature humor and humbleness!
The planet that keeps us in check with our ego would be Saturn. Right now its in the sign of Scorpio. It just finished holding hands with Mars this week. (that was a big deal)- and these two planets are in a dialogue with Steve's Moon. So, he has to just 'stick to his guns'........oh, I forgot---- he is:
As a matter of fact- making painting of 'war' objects- (or items used in war) is to tap into a waiting audience right now.
Yet, being born with the Sun conjunct Uranus and Pluto- allows one to multi-task in artistic materials.......Steve can also draw! And loves it. The planet that rules what and how we love is Venus. Steve was born with Venus in Libra- so his line is delicate and he has a great sense of design. He also loves animals......especially Tigers.......He gives his time to
Wildlife Waystation
There is of course WAY more to Mr. Wright and his work than THE CREATIVE FLOWS has showcased. If you want to see so much more, such as his beautiful figurative work and or follow his facebook page and catch a glimpse of his sarcastic humor you can reach Steve here:
