Heaven is a Place on Earth (acrylic, gemstones, beads, feathers) is part of a series of artworks called "Return to Eden". The series marks an abrupt change of approach by artist Albert Leon Sultan in his painting practice. This shift was prompted by the societal reflections necessitated by the Covid-19 pandemic and the wildfires that have gripped Australia and Brazil. His recent series of paintings is an attempt to wrestle with the tremendous sense of loss and an urgency to act that Sultan feels. As he sees it, the breakdown of Humankind’s relationship with nature is forcing us to rethink our existential priorities prompting what he calls a “Return to Eden”. To Sultan, Eden is a form of imaginary paradise that doesn’t exist. It’s an ideal. Something to strive for. Yet, we have disconnected ourselves from our true oneness with nature. Having failed in this mission, the Earth is rising up to wake us up in ever more destructive ways. Sultan believes this is the central battle of all Mankind in our time—to remember that though we may seemingly have dominance over our world, we must work to create a balance between all living and nonliving forms on this planet. With rulership comes great responsibility. In series 1 of Return to Eden completed in 2020 Sultan delves more into the personal side of Eden. As a child born in the 1980s he often longs for the colorful forms and pop music that animated his youth--simple joyful elements untinged by pain and sorrow. The world is changing at a dizzying pace and he lament the loss of this youthful innocence. Each of the paintings in series 1 is influenced by a favorite 80s song that touched his childhood. According to Sultan "As I get lost in the notes and chords of these iconic songs, I imagine myself transported back to that idyllic setting of my youth, and momentarily...I return to Eden."
