Herbert Creecy was originally best known as a colorist. But an impressive body of work evolved from that; a more contemplative and introspective series of paintings which was characterized by a far more distilled, sparse, and monochromatic presentation of his technical virtuosity.

In his “Transport Series”, Creecy seems to have foreseen the convergence of quantum theory, mysticism / spirituality and break throughs in genetics and bio - engineering.
The entire series is possessed with an otherworldliness that seems to imply a recognition of communication between spheres of consciousness. These works almost seem transported to us from a future time or higher dimension; or transport us there.

“The true work of art is born from the ‘artist’: a mysterious, enigmatic, and mystical creation. It detaches itself from him, it acquires an autonomous life, becomes a personality, an independent subject, animated with a spiritual breath, the living subject of a real existence of being.”
- Wassily Kandinsky

Art does not want the representation of a beautiful thing, but the representation of something beautiful.

“As God creates, so man can create. Given a certain intensity of will, and the shapes created by the mind become subjective. Hallucinations, they are called, although to their creator they are real as any visible object is to any one else. Given a more intense and intelligent concentration of this will, and the form becomes concrete, visible, objective; the man has learned the secret of secrets; he is a MAGICIAN.”
