The Sum of Its Parts

Leave a comment
“The Sum of Its Parts” by Amy Guidry; acrylic on canvas; 11″w x 14″h; SOLD; (c) Amy Guidry 2012

I have finally finished the painting that I mentioned last week.  I’m excited to reveal my latest work in the In Our Veins series titled The Sum of Its Parts.  It is 11″ wide by 14″ high and an acrylic on canvas.  I think I set a record for going through the most paintbrushes in one painting.  I took artistic liberties with the size and placement of the stag’s heart to emphasize its significance and to center it up with the animals falling out.  Without being too graphic, I wanted to illustrate when one species dies, many other species are affected.  Each animal serves a role in the life cycle, together forming the delicate balance of nature.  The trees not only close in the composition, but connect with the animals via the roots seen at the bottom and illustrate the role of plant life and the Earth.  The butterflies, which are often seen throughout this series, serve as metaphors for life and beautiful little reminders of our short existence in the scheme of things.  A larger view of the painting can be seen here: www.amyguidry.com/sum-of-its-parts.html.

I’m just now getting around to posting photos from the opening reception of the 15th International Open.  My painting Fleeting was selected for the exhibit at Woman Made Gallery by guest juror Linda Warren of Linda Warren Gallery, also in Chicago.  Here are a few of the photos from opening night- more are on my website at www.amyguidry.com/events.html.  The good news is there is still time to see it since the show is up now through April 26th.

Three paintings from my In Our Veins series have recently found a new home in Norway!  Interconnected, Full Circle, and Ephemeral are all acrylic on canvas, 6″ x 6,” 4″ x 4,” and 4″ x 4,” respectively.  I’m happy to have my work go abroad and to such a wonderful, thoughtful new owner as well.  It means so much to me to have someone show such appreciation for my work and to know that it speaks to them in such a personal manner.  No award could ever compare.

To view a larger image of each painting, visit my website at this direct link: www.amyguidry.com/interconnected.html (don’t forget to watch the 30-second video of the making of Interconnected from start to finish- the button is located below the painting).  For Ephemeral view here: www.amyguidry.com/ephemeral.html and for Full Circle, view here: www.amyguidry.com/full-circle.html.

New Painting!

Leave a comment
"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.

Juxtapoz!

Leave a comment

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!
