Impressions from the real world

Art exhibition with Socrates Geens

In the "Art from Silence" series, we look forward to welcoming the artist Socrates Geens. Socrates' artistic expression is, like ancient spiritual art, dedicated to the mystery of being. The exhibition title is an allusion to the book title "Views from the Real World" by G. I. Gurdjieff.

At the age of 14, Socrates embarked on an inner search. Two years later, he visited a center of Tibetan Buddhism in Scotland. There he discovered the book "In Search of the Miraculous" by P. D. Ouspensky in the library. This intensified his desire to awaken, and from then on he put inner work first. At the age of 17 he went to India, became a student of Osho in 1979 and learned Tibetan Pulsing from Dheeraj Murley in the ashram. In 2025, he created a series of pictures dedicated to the "Fourth Way", which focuses on key aspects of inner work.

"For us, art is not an end, but a means. The art of antiquity has a specific inner content. In the past, art had the same purpose as books do today, namely to preserve and pass on (inner) knowledge."
G.I. Gurdjieff
