Illuminatus is a retrospective of Fantastic Realism painter Robert Venosa's celestial, mythological, futuristic, surreal, other-worldly, art. This is Venosa's most impressive book so far - a far-reaching sequel to his earlier visionary collections, Manas Manna and Noospheres. Those familiar with his work, as well as those exploring it for the first time, will find his visions exciting and inspirational - a mythology for our times. If the most exciting artmaking one can hope to encounter is an exploration of the furthest reaches of the imagination, then Robert Venosa must surely rank among the luminaries of our era.
"Robert Venosa creates mythical mindscapes that fascinate and illuminate. His tableaux are windows into timeless vistas of the inner realities" Timothy Leary
"Bravo Venosa! Dali is pleased to see spiritual madness painted with such a fine technique" Salvador Dali
"Robert Venosa's art truly captures the imprint of a spiritual force; each painting so alive, seeming to breathe, pulsate and stare back at you, challenging the viewer to also reach their highest potential." Carlos Santana
240 pages, hardcover, 286 x 260 mm (11.5" x 10"), 217 color reproductions, 25 b/w images. Also including a preface by Nevill Drury and biographical text by David Joseph.
