"Interdependent" by Amy Guidry; acrylic on canvas; 4" x 4"; SOLD; (c) Amy Guidry 2012

One of my more recent paintings has found a new home in time for Valentine’s Day.  Interdependent is one of the small works from my In Our Veins series and is an acrylic on canvas, 4″ x 4″ square.  This series deals with the life cycle and the impact that each species has on one another, which is represented in Interdependent.  The roots of the tree have a vaguely similar texture and color as the deer antlers, so I took liberty in morphing them together to illustrate the connection of all life forms.  The butterflies, as seen in several paintings in this series, are a metaphor for life and our mortality.  They are beautiful, delicate, and fragile, and here for a short time, reminding us that life is precious.

Wolfpack

"Wolfpack" by Amy Guidry; acrylic on canvas; 12" x 12"; (c) Amy Guidry 2012

I’ve just finished my first painting of the New Year!  This is another new addition to the In Our Veins series titled Wolfpack.  It is an acrylic on canvas, 12″ by 12″ square.  I went through, on average, one paintbrush per wolf head on this one.  I build up the colors in each layer and then start adding layers of hairs, working my way up to the lighter hairs, therefore my paintbrush takes a beating.  Well worth it, though, since I am pleased with the outcome.  This is a “sister piece” to my painting The Pack (which is one of the paintings I will have featured in the Surreal Salon at the Baton Rouge Gallery- Center for Contemporary Art!).  You can check out both paintings on my website and for a better view of Wolfpack, visit www.amyguidry.com/wolfpack.html.

"United States of Consumerism" by Amy Guidry; 2007; acrylic on canvas; 30"w x 24"h; (c) Amy Guidry 2012; SOLD

Happy 2012!  This is my first post for the New Year…funny it’s regarding my last sale of the past year.  My painting United States of Consumerism has just been added to a fantastic local collection of art.  This painting was done in 2007 as part of a series of social commentary works, Beneath the Surface.  It is an acrylic on canvas, 24″ high by 30″ wide.  A couple of my artist friends thought I was nuts to take on such a piece since I painted each and every dollar bill and penny on there.  No stamps, no gimmicks.  By the time I finished, all my tiny little paintbrushes had splayed bristles and were completely unusable.  I also had to put in some long hours to finish it in time for an exhibition.  Regardless, I was happy with the outcome.  The photos just don’t do it justice, but you can view a larger image of it here.

New Small Works

Leave a comment

I’ve added two new small works to the In Our Veins series.  Both are acrylic on canvas, 4″ by 4,” and $100 each.  I just had better photos taken of them, hence the late post.  The first painting is titled “Interdependent” and the next one is “Untitled (Desert).” I use tiny paintbrushes on all my work, but they are especially useful for these small paintings as they consist mostly of tiny little dabs and lines of paint.  The photos here are rather small, so you can view them full-size on my website at www.amyguidry.com/interdependent.html and www.amyguidry.com/untitled04.html.

"Symbiotic" by Amy Guidry; acrylic on canvas; 11"w x 14"h; (c) Amy Guidry 2011

I’m excited to announce that my work was recently selected for the Surreal Salon at the Baton Rouge Gallery- Center for Contemporary Art in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  The guest juror is artist Casey Weldon (who will also be giving an Artist Talk at the gallery).  I am honored to have my work selected for what will be a great exhibition.  Both Symbiotic and The Pack will be featured, both of which are from my In Our Veins series.  I can’t post it just yet, but I did get a preview of the soon to be online catalog, and there is a lot of great work included.  The show opens January 3rd (next Tuesday!) and will be up through January 26th.  There will be a costumed soiree on January 21st from 7-11pm, with live music from Mobley (Austin, TX) and Prom Date (Baton Rouge, LA).  And in case you were wondering, I already have my costume but won’t reveal until after the event- all the more reason to come check out the show in person on the 21st!

"Awakening" by Amy Guidry; acrylic on canvas; 48"w x 24"h; (c) Amy Guidry 2011; SOLD

Another New Realm painting has found a new home.  Awakening is one of the earlier paintings from the series and is one of the largest at 48″ wide by 24″ high.  The single butterfly represents growth and freedom, themes that are heavily present in this series.  As stated on my website, New Realm challenges the antiquated views of women as often seen in fairy tales.  Using a surreal backdrop, it is a modern tale which presents the heroine as a strong and courageous woman.  I’m also happy to say that several paintings from this series will be included in a upcoming exhibition featuring works from early in my career to the present.  More details on that closer to time.  Meanwhile, you can check out this series as well as a closeup of Awakening at www.amyguidry.com/awakening.html.

New Small Paintings

1 Comment

I recently added two new small paintings to the In Our Veins series.  My latest newsletter featured both paintings (which if you would like to receive, sign up information is here: www.amyguidry.com/contact.html) and there is still one available.  The titles are Generate and Ephemeral, each are 4″ x 4,” acrylic on canvas.  Generate (sold) pertains to the life cycle and how life continues, hence the flowers growing out of the wolf’s back.  Ephemeral is still available ($100- contact me if interested) and features a moth with a heart, ribcage, and vertebrae superimposed upon it.  The premise of the painting is the importance of life- so fragile, precious, and short, in the scheme of things- and serves as a reminder to live life to the fullest.  Both paintings can be viewed (larger) on my website at www.amyguidry.com/ephemeral.html.

Professional Artist Magazine Feature

Professional Artist Magazine, Dec/Jan 2012 issue

I’m excited to announce that I’m currently featured in Professional Artist Magazine (formerly Art Calendar Magazine) as part of their December/January issue.  The article is titled “Communicating Social Messages through Art, Partnership and Publicity” and was written by Renee Phillips, aka The Artrepreneur Coach.  I am honored to be a featured artist and to have had the opportunity to share some insight in this article.  If you’ve been following my work, you know that art is my passion but reaching people through my work is also incredibly important.  I strive to inspire others as well as get them thinking, talking, and acting upon issues that are of personal as well as social importance.  In addition, Renee makes a great point that it is up to the artists, no matter what their subject matter, to be proactive about getting their work out there.  I strongly agree and if you’ve checked out my previous posts on press releases, you understand why.  I can’t post the actual article but if you would like to read a modified version of it, you can check it out on Renee’s site at www.manhattanarts.com/readingroom/ezine/CareerBusiness/Renee_Social-Issues.htm.

I’m excited to announce the “arrival” of my new video project featuring In Our Veins.  This latest video is an in-depth look into the series, discussing my thoughts behind several paintings, as well as some great closeup views of the work.  The video is narrated by Cheryl Mack (she also narrated the New Realm video- many people have asked if it was me).  My description does not do it justice- so be sure to check it out by clicking the image below or visiting Youtube at http://youtu.be/raQXeTBHJTQ.
