{"product_id":"the-spectra-suites","title":"The Spectra Suites","description":"\u003cp\u003eAdi Da Samraj creates a powerful visual and philosophical complexity with the ten \u003cem\u003eSpectra Suites \u003c\/em\u003ein this beautifully crafted hardbound edition. Each of the suites is based on one or more of the fundamental images He created using still and video cameras combined with digitally generated imagery. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese fundamental images are, for Adi Da Samraj, preliminary sketches. Each new image for the suites began as His response to a number of His own photographs collected on a nearby wall as a general representation of His subject. Rather than projecting them as a photorealist might, Adi Da Samraj used His photographs as a kind of “focus of recollection and presence” to bring the often immovable, disparate, complex, and multiple subjects of His art into the interior of His working studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetween 1998 and 2006, Adi Da Samraj focused on camera-based imagery, creating a highly complex body of work (in both black-and-white and color) that now exceeds 60,000 images and a great many hours of videotape. \u003cem\u003eThe Spectra Suites\u003c\/em\u003e is a consequence of His work from that great library. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdi Da Samraj has said that His intention as an artist is to visually communicate the Truth of Reality Itself by “allowing Reality to manifest Itself”. This is the first major full-color monograph on this spiritual master’s art, and was published in conjunction with a showing of His work at the Venice Biennale, in 2007. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Dawn Horse Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49603504603351,"sku":"3535","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/5345\/3271\/files\/the-spectra-suites.png?v=1787038948","url":"https:\/\/dawnhorsepress.com\/products\/the-spectra-suites","provider":"The Dawn Horse Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
