Self-taught Georgia artist Eddie Owens Martin (1908-86), known as
St. EOM, created a visionary art site called Pasaquan in the
mid-1950s in Marion County, Georgia. Covering seven acres, this
evocative and fanciful site has captured the imaginations of
thousands of visitors. Pasaquan includes six buildings connected by
concrete walls, all of which are adorned with the artist's vibrant,
psychedelic folk art of bold, transfixing patterns, spiritual and
tribal imagery, and exuberant depictions of nature. According to
St. EOM, his art arose from a vision he experienced in his
mid-twenties, while suffering from a high fever. The first of many
visionary experiences, it featured a godlike being who offered to
be Martin's spiritual guide. Subsequent visions inspired him to
begin making art and, eventually, to create a spiritual compound
dedicated to a peaceful future for humankind. St. EOM enlarged his
house to twice its original size by adding a long rear section
covered inside and out with his rainbow-hued murals, mandalas, and
relief sculptures. On the grounds he built a series of structures
including a circular dance platform, some small temples, several
totems, and a two-story pagoda, all in his wildly ornamental style.
He also created more than two thousand freestanding pieces,
including paintings, sculptures, and drawings. In the thirty years
since St. EOM's death, the Pasaquan Preservation Society worked to
preserve the compound, which had fallen into neglect. In 2014 the
Kohler Foundation and Columbus State University partnered with the
society to restore the visionary art site for future generations.
It is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
