Definition: Mystery School // a discreet organization that explores the nature of life and existence through ancient traditions and wisdom passed down from earliest times.
The root of inspiration behind Michael Thomsen’s Mystery School has been evolving since he was a child. From hours spent pouring over his grandfather’s collection of esoteric literature on subjects such as freemasonry and the Order of the Shrine, a life-long curiosity was born. Thomsen’s ongoing research of clandestine organizations and their intricate sub-genres and crossovers led him to discover many fascinating stories that range from true history to whispered speculation. Mystery School explores subjects such as evidence of ancient astronauts, obscure texts from the Dead Sea Scrolls, the mythological Cult of Dionysus and more.
In his new body of work, Thomsen exposes the strange and intriguing secrets of a shrouded culture. A stunning collection of enigmatic assemblage works, Thomsen’s creations cross ornate rococo sensibilities with a vivid contemporary edge, bringing modern interpretation to ancient symbology, reliquary and myth. Mystery School guides the viewer both visually and literally through the shadowy beliefs and speculations of historians and occultists throughout time. What is truth, what is fiction?
