GRACE CAROL BOMER
Artist Carol Bomer is certainly familiar with this history. She admires the giants of high modernism. She is intimate with their methods. But she’s not terribly impressed by their underachieving scorecard on questions of faith. Bomer creates her own very contemporary canvases by claiming an inspiration unusual in the art world even now – the power of God, the God of the Bible. …
She is keen to convey the dualities of existence but also question their mutual antagonism – the split between imagination and intellect, faith and science, language and silence, purity and impurity. These polarities have defined western intellectual debates for four hundred years, fragmenting the ego, fragmenting the world.
But Bomer witnesses to the overwhelming divine power that oversees the human fray and beckons humanity back to peace and wholeness. She sees healing potential in Scripture itself. Reading and meditating on the word of God is a decisive source of her own inspiration. From the Editor: Soli Deo Gloria” Ray Waddle, Reflections Magazine, Yale Divinity School magazine ‘2008
