Leou Aeon’s Virtual Studio

You are cordially invited to visit Leou Aeon’s Virtual Studio and to meet the artist, Wednesday August 13th, at 8am, 12pm & 6pm PDT (Pacific Day Time), in the Second Life environnement. This inaugural event is the result of many months of hard work and preparations: in March 2008, Leou Aeon was accepted as an artist in residence on Angel Gate Island, and he has since then conceived and built his studio/residence. This unique and integral space takes the shape of a multi-platform complex composed of a classroom, an art gallery, a lounge and several meditation areas.

Second Life is a 3D virtual reality that offers unique, unexplored and infinite possibilities of artistic expression. This new environment makes it possible to create gigantic or very small works of art, to control gravity, to choose the time of the day, to meet and collaborate with people from all over the world, and much more.

Leou Aeon’s Virtual Studio, floating above the ocean and the clouds, reflects Leou’s complexity, creativity and multidisciplinarity; through it he has found a way to adapt his art to this new revolutionary medium. The main areas, conceived by Leou as a perfect blend of East and West, sacred and profane, are:
The Virtual Gallery, which is now featuring the exhibition titled “Abstractions”. It presents Leou's latest artwork, original ink drawings on paper. The artist's mindblowing, transcendental & symbolical style is an aesthetic & spiritual experience to remember.
The Integral Living Area, the classroom where Leou Aeon gives his weekly class on Integral Practice and hosts various other discussion groups. This educative space is also a park where people can relax or study.
The Shiva Lounge, a sacred space where one can meditate, while surrounded by sacred sculptures.

An artist, speaker, consultant and teacher, Leou (his real name being Nicolas Lehoux) is a visionnary who is constantly recreating himself and yet manages to stay himself. Under the name of Leou Aeon, he has recently broadened his audience to Second Life's virtual reality, through his style, creativity and leadership. Dematerializing reality through Art, making it intelligible and miraculous, and rendering the inexpressible beauty of Being, represent at the same time the end and the means of Leou’s artistic body of work. Through his comics and paintings he initiates a dialogue between the abstract and the figurative, lightness and depth, Being and ego.

Angel Gate is a non-profit creative community that explores and encourages emerging real life/metaverse artistic and therapeutic mediums. Besides being a creative asset for this community, Leou Aeon’s mandate is linked to Angel Gate's Therapy House. His role is to welcome visitors and discuss with them on spiritual practice, art and its therapeutical, philosophical and metaphysical aspects.

This is an open invitation to all setient beings for a revitalizing immersion in the universe of a great artist.
