The Haight Street Art Center will open The Secret Path: The Art of Roger and Freyja Dean<\/em><\/strong>, an exhibition of original art works by famed UK artists Roger Dean and his daughter Freyja Dean. The Secret Path<\/em><\/strong> will immerse visitors in an extraordinary world where life and landscape invoke the splendors of nature through the visionary imagination of the Deans. The exhibition opens August 25 and will close October 30, 2022, before touring to other venues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The presenting sponsors of The Secret Path: The Art of Roger and Freyja Dean<\/em><\/strong> are Blue Planet Alliance and Chambers Obscura.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo see the art of Roger and Freyja together in this unique, groundbreaking exhibition is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for visitors to experience the magical environments created by this father-daughter duo,\u201d said Kelly Harris, executive director of the Haight Street Art Center. \u201cBoth artists have universal appeal, and we are proud to be able to offer our patrons a chance to be a part of this stunning and psychedelic fantasy.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Known for his groundbreaking work with Yes and other rock bands, Roger Dean\u2019s six-decade career includes a dazzling range of media and formats. His daughter Freyja has followed in her father\u2019s footsteps, earning international acclaim for her paintings, sculpture, and fabric art. With paintings, drawings, sculptures, and other media, this exhibition connects all facets of the Deans\u2019 wide-ranging and restless imagination.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visitors to the Art Center will recognize famous paintings that became the artwork for some of Roger\u2019s legendary album covers, as well as studies of his extraordinary design work including his iconic Yes logo. Curated by Roger in consultation with Freyja, the exhibition includes more than 50 works that will furnish patrons with an imaginative and immersive environment that speaks to the challenges of the present while embracing the promise of the future.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am honored to help support The Secret Path<\/em><\/strong> coming to San Francisco and the work of the Haight Street Art Center in sharing these fantastical worlds through this remarkable exhibition,\u201d said Brian Chambers, co-founder of Chambers Obscura. \u201cI\u2019ve had the pleasure of working with Roger for many years, and through him I have come to appreciate his daughter Freyja\u2019s work as well. She has her own distinctive voice, but not only does she demonstrate how deep the creative genes are in the Dean family, her work complements his in powerful and unexpected ways.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve worked with Roger for 35 years and could not be more honored to support The Secret Path<\/em><\/strong> at the Haight Street Art Center,\u201d said Blue Planet Alliance Founder Henk Rogers. \u201cIn all my years in publishing, I\u2019ve never met an artist as talented and easy to work with as Roger. We\u2019ve worked together on dozens of projects, starting with the cover and logo for the game Super Black Onyx to the Tetris logo, our biggest and most widely known collaboration, for a game that has sold 500 million copies. Roger\u2019s art has enriched us in so many ways.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Known as the \u201conly member of Yes who doesn\u2019t play an instrument,\u201d Roger Dean is revered as an award-winning album cover artist, yet his talents go far beyond one medium: his work spans fine art to graphic design, architecture to stage sets, from small-scale drawings to stadium-sized vistas. Freyja Dean\u2019s paintings, sculpture, and fabric art chart the relationships between landscapes and life. Her art reveals the narratives of those geographies and beings, illuminating the lessons they can teach us. Together, the art of the Deans guides viewers through a journey filled with stories. Those stories are about magic: the magic in nature, in natural phenomena and formations, in the seasons and the flow of time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis exhibition invites viewers to become participants,\u201d Roger Dean notes. \u201cWe are all fellow travelers on the secret path of life. The signposts along the way are our art works, but the destination\u2014the future\u2014belongs to everyone.\u201d For the Deans, this exhibition is an important step in that journey. \u201cWe must believe in a future worth striving for,\u201d Freyja Dean explains. \u201cFor all of us, there is a secret or hidden path whose entirety we cannot see while we live it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
