SPAR STREET
Ecstatic Union
Ecstatic Union is the magic that makes life a glorious journey and a shimmering delight. When the truth of who we are reveals itself in the presence of another, we make real contact, deep and meaningful contact. In this union we become filled to overflowing with a love and gratitude so complete that it can only be described as ecstatic.
The two graceful figures reaching upwards that comprise this magnificent sculpture seem to dance toward each other, sensually and seductively, savoring the deliciousness of the attraction while drawing ever nearer to that exquisite moment of Ecstatic Union.
Spar Street is an award-winning painter and sculptor. He specializes in painting large canvases in mixed media, with a high emphasis on sensuality, color, and movement. Before becoming an artist, Street was a skier and entrepreneur. He is best known for his work with the Nobel Foundation and the United Nations.
Street combines abstraction, impressionism, and realism into his works on canvas. His multimedia works notably evoke feelings of energy, warmth, sensuality, power, and beauty, and revolve around mostly spiritual themes. Street also employs heavy layering in many of his abstract paintings. Maui art critic Paul Janes-Brown has this to say about Street’s work: “You have to actually come and see the work to appreciate how great an artist this man is…The excitement of his work is extraordinary. The texture of the work transforms it to another place completely.”
