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.
Introducing my newest painting Duality, created for Modern Eden Gallery’s Precious Metal exhibition. Duality is a dynamic juxtaposition of the rainbow, a symbol of harmony, and the medieval lion, a symbol sometimes associated with danger or war. In Irish folklore, leprechauns hid gold at the end of the rainbow, but such treasures come at a cost. Which is why I leave it to the viewer to decide, just as it is up to each of us to choose our own path. Precious Metal is open now through April 4th at Modern Eden Gallery in San Francisco. Duality is an acrylic on canvas, 20″ wide by 10″ high, and available online here: https://www.moderneden.com/collections/precious-metal/products/duality.
