3 distinctive artists under the umbrella "Ceremony of Innocence". Inspired by Yeats' "The second coming" NO!R believes that The Second Coming will not appear as a beast, but is in fact the ever present shadow of fear that prevails in our world and blinds us, turning most of us from the light.

Christopher Hassett: I’ve had no formal training, though when it comes to the
artistic expression of self I tend to mistrust that kind of training
anyhow. Not that I don’t see its merits; it’s just that I’m also very
aware of the risk of some greater loss in going down that path, of
precious individuality or the organic growth of a truly authentic
voice. Besides, I’ve been steeped in the academic world for decades,
both as a professor and as a student. At the time when I began painting
I was finishing up a degree at UCLA and wanted nothing to do with
another teacher. Further instruction felt like the willful ingestion of
poison. Instead, I simply stumbled headlong into the process: I
painted and painted over paintings and threw away paintings and
continued painting.
From the beginning I was only interested in the body. I wanted to
master it in its many forms, but I did so by largely fetishizing its
various limbs, obsessively working on hands and faces and eyeballs and
skin. That sense of obsession, perhaps even digression or dysfunction, I
think is still present in my work, if not its defining character–a kind
of severe formality I sense only now is beginning to slip.
