The Sybil Art Print by Paul B. Rucker

8"x16" Numbered print in limited run of 200

A reader of omens, of secrets in the fire. Her eyes demand to know if you are ready– truly ready— to know what she may say.

Like the loose but ornate brushstrokes in this image, like layers of hieroglyphic energy, which lead always to the Sybil’s penetrating stare, all interpretations of oracles come down at last to confrontation with one’s true Will. 

Destiny moves to fruition when will is set upon true desire. The oracle, like the present moment itself, portends an eternal crossroads of what has been and what yet may be.

Paul B. Rucker has been making art from personal visions of the spirit world from a very early age, seeking in visual language to render metaphors, and ecstasies. Theatre, myth and ritual influence this search.

He paints in acrylic and other water-based media, as well as pen, pencil, and mixed media assemblages, combining various materials with hand-painted bones. Rucker also performs face and body painting on subjects photographed in selected environments; the resulting images are further elaborated with digital painting techniques. In addition, he has created theatrical backdrops, murals, collage, sign painting, mask-making in clay and paper-mache, silk painting and costuming. 

His approach foregrounds the ennobled body– usually but not always, that of the human being– as a vehicle for archetypal revelation; the body in an extended connection with sacred Nature. His worldview is that of a modern Pagan: “making art is how I think in ‘Pagan’.”

His work has been exhibited in the Twin Cities, Tuscaloosa, AL, New Orleans, San Francisco, and Chicago; and has been seen online and in print through many venues in the USA, Canada, Australia, and Europe. 

Rucker has curated and founded several Pagan-oriented arts events in the Twin Cities area, ranging from the Crossroads Festival in the 1990s to the Third Offering Gallery at the annual Paganicon convention in St. Louis Park. He is a core member of the Minneapolis Collective of Pagan Artists (MCPA), founded in 2014.
