Two more paintings from my New Realm series have recently found new homes.  Both Mushrooms and Snail are acrylic on canvas, 5″ x 5″ paintings from the New Realm 5 x 5 series.  The 5 x 5’s spotlighted different characters and elements from the larger paintings in the series.  Both paintings were sold at the Masur Museum of Art’s Off the Wall fundraiser in which part of the proceeds benefit the museum.  To view more paintings from the entire series, go to this direct link: www.amyguidry.com/beginning.html.

New Painting!

"Stallions" by Amy Guidry; acrylic on canvas; 6" x 6"; (c) Amy Guidry 2012

I’ve recently added a new painting to my In Our Veins series.  The title is Stallions and it is a 6″ x 6,” acrylic on canvas.  There are several paintings in this series which feature animals, but as heads without bodies, for example.  Because the series pertains to our complex and intricate life cycle, this must also address the issue of animal welfare, as one cannot exist without the other (i.e. humans and the natural world).  Many people view animals as a means to an end, therefore they are viewed as pieces and parts- head, rump, tongue, breast, wing, leg- not whole, sentient beings.  I illustrate this concept while at the same time endowing each animal with emotion and personality, emphasizing qualities that we often deem as only “human.”  Given that horses are such intelligent and majestic animals, I couldn’t think of a better subject.  You can view a larger image of the painting on my website at this direct link: www.amyguidry.com/stallions.html.

You may recall a little while back that my painting Symbiotic was the Best of Show winner for the Surreal Salon IV at the Baton Rouge Gallery Center for Contemporary Art.  As part of winning, my work would be featured in upcoming issues of both Juxtapoz and Hi-Fructose magazines.  Well, I had a nice surprise arrive in the mail for me and received a copy of the Juxtapoz April 2012 issue!  If you get the magazine, check out page 131.  I’ve included small photos of the cover and a detail image of the ad naming my work as the Surreal Salon IV winner.  I will be posting the Hi-Fructose issue once it arrives so keep an eye out for it!

My Exhibitions

Hyperreality

Leave a comment

The opening reception for my solo exhibition, Hyperreality, was held the other night at the Slidell Cultural Center in Slidell, Louisiana.  I was delighted to see so many people come out for the event, especially given the cold, dreary weather.  I’ve posted a few photos from the opening for those that missed it.  There are many more on my website, though, so to view the Slidell Cultural Center slideshow, go to: www.amyguidry.com/events.html.  The exhibition will be up through March 30th at the Slidell Cultural Center, located in City Hall.

"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.
