Introducing my new painting Counterbalance. Multiple headed animals are present throughout Greek mythology, such as the 9-headed Hydra or 3-headed dog Cerberus. In Slavic mythology, there is the four-headed god of war and divination, Svantevit, while the Hindu god Brahma has four heads as well. Many cultures revere the tiger for symbolizing power, strength, and regality, viewing it as a representation of nature’s awe-inspiring force. Four is the number of order in the universe- the four elements earth, air, fire, and water; the four seasons; the four phases of the Moon. Four’s sacred geometry is a square- sturdy, solid and balanced. Whether representing the challenges and perseverance in life or the duality of existence, multi-headed mythical beings fascinate us across cultures and generations. In Counterbalance, the tiger’s strength and courage balance the labyrinth’s challenge and the complexity of life’s journey. Counterbalance is an acrylic on canvas, 8″ wide by 10″ high, and available on my website here: https://amyguidry.com/gallery/counterbalance/index.html.
“Takeover” by Amy Guidry; Acrylic on canvas; 10″ x 8″; (c) Amy Guidry 2023
Happy to share my latest painting Takeover which features an alligator, one of Louisiana’s most popular animals and considered one of the most dangerous. The alligator’s teeth, replaced with human hands, reference the real danger, greed. With human-driven mass extinction underway, natural habitats such as wetlands are at risk, while hands reach out for more. Takeover is an acrylic on canvas, 10″ wide by 8″ high, and you can view it online here: https://amyguidry.com/gallery/takeover/index.html.
“Omen” by Amy Guidry; Acrylic on canvas; 12″ x 6″; (c) Amy Guidry 2023
Revealing my latest painting Omen. The sketch for this started in 2017 and I opted to do an entirely different painting. I revisited it and made a few changes. Fun fact: polar bears can’t climb trees. They lost that trait since they evolved in the Arctic where there are no trees. Omen is an acrylic on canvas, 12″ wide by 6″ high, and you can view it online here: https://amyguidry.com/omen.html.
“Amalgam” by Amy Guidry; Acrylic on canvas; 5″ x 5″; $400; (c) Amy Guidry 2022
Excited to share my new painting Amalgam. It features a Paralomis histrix, a species of king crab sometimes referred to as the porcupine crab. The soft curved lines of the background playfully contrast with the crab’s spikes, in keeping with the pastel-colored theme. The softly transparent rose also adds to this juxtaposition while connecting flora and fauna. Amalgam is an acrylic on canvas, 5” wide by 5” high, and available through LeMieux Galleries in New Orleans or via their website: https://www.lemieuxgalleries.com/art/amalgam-by-amy-guidry.
“Equilibrium” by Amy Guidry; Acrylic on canvas; 6″ x 6″; $600; (c) Amy Guidry 2022
Revealing my most recent painting in the In Our Veins series. Equilibrium features a Japanese macaque, also known as the snow monkey, one of my favorite animals since I was a kid and obsessed with pink. The pink hues in the monkey’s face and amaryllis flowers connect the two visually while the honeybees connect all flora and fauna as promoters of biodiversity. Equilibrium is an acrylic on canvas, 6″ wide by 6″ high and currently available through LeMieux Galleries in New Orleans and via their website here: https://www.lemieuxgalleries.com/art/equilibrium-by-amy-guidry.
