About Second Renaissance Art

We are a collective of artists making art to bring forth a second renaissance.

Art is an expression of our consciousness and humanity, from the prehistoric cave paintings to the graffiti in the streets of our towns, art has always been a gateway to transformation. Art is a catalyst for transformation.

Our first theme is Impermanence: each year we curate an exhibition and a magazine to share with the world the artistic embodiment of transformation for a Second Renaissance. Our latest exhibition is on the theme of Impermanence and took place in Thénac France in April 2024.

Second Renaissance Art Manifesto

We are a collective of artists making art to bring forth the second renaissance.

We are alchemists
We create a new world through our work.
We are the bridge between the dying past and the future unborn.

Art is an expression of our consciousness and humanity, this is our path of transformation. Life as an art.

So what will be an Art for the Second Renaissance? It is the dawn, calling us to value interbeingness, awakening, wisdom and inner-evolution. Because we believe and witness that there is an innate calling in life to be deeply and truly free. A freedom which includes and transcends the freedom to have, to feel and to think. A freedom to be and become. It is a Liberation.

That this life movement can not be repressed by fear, war, terror, death, dictatorship. That our ability to understand, love, care and contribute is an expression of our intuitive knowledge of the truth of our interbeingness. By doing so we become the author of tomorrow’s future and the priests to the dying past.
