One of my more recent paintings from the In Our Veins series has found a new home.  Segments is an acrylic on canvas and 4″h x 6″h.  It features a fractured horse representing the common view of animals as merely a means to an end, while using facial expression and positioning to emphasize the importance of animals.  View more from the series online here: http://www.amyguidry.com/wild_west.html.

New Work

Two new paintings have been recently added to my In Our Veins series.  One you may recall I posted a progress shot of not too long ago and is now finally finished.  Systems is an acrylic on canvas, 6″ x 6″ and Unity is also an acrylic on canvas, 4″w x 6″h.  Systems was originally started in February of 2010 and as I stated earlier, it was one of those moments that I needed to step back from it for awhile.  I am particularly fascinated by the commonalities found in nature.  In Systems my focus was on the similarities between ant colonies and the human body, the intestines replaced by tunnels of ants as both serve as transports for nourishment among their other functions.  While Unity focuses on the connections between all life with butterflies representing life itself- beautiful, fragile, and here for a short time.  Both paintings can be found online here: http://www.amyguidry.com/systems.html and here: http://www.amyguidry.com/unity.html.

“Vessel” by Amy Guidry; acrylic on canvas; 4″ x 4″; SOLD; (c) Amy Guidry 2012

Another painting from my In Our Veins series has found a new home.  This piece is titled Vessel and is an acrylic on canvas, 4″ x 4.”  It will soon join one of my other paintings from the same series.  I like working on these small paintings- they work well individually and as well as in a group.  Some people have asked how or even why I work so small- even my larger pieces have a lot of little details.  I never thought much of it- I like to work on detail, simple as that.  It’s fun for me to work on one square inch at a time and then step back and see how it works in the grand scheme of things.  Within those square inches, I’m adding little dabs of paint, which when viewed at such a close range, is really abstract.  It’s my foray into the abstract world.  You can view the series online here: www.amyguidry.com/wild_west.html.

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

My painting Perspective has found a new home.  Perspective is another painting from my In Our Veins series and is a 4″ x 4″ acrylic on canvas.  These tiny hare heads required some tiny brushes with barely there bristles.  I always like a challenge, though- it keeps me on my toes.  If you’ve been following my work, you may have come to that conclusion…  So if you are new, this series deals with the connections between all life forms and our role in the life cycle.  I feel that environmental issues as well as animal welfare are a large part of that discussion as they go hand-in-hand.  With this in mind, many of the animals in In Our Veins are depicted as just heads or limbs, such as the hares in Perspective.  While thinking of animals as simply parts and a means to an end is a common view, I see them as sentient beings and a significant part of the world we live in.  While I depict them as ‘missing pieces,’ I focus on the expressiveness of their eyes and faces to relay their importance.  You can learn more about the series as well as view the paintings at this direct link: www.amyguidry.com/wild_west.html.

Also of note: if you are in the Lafayette area or planning a visit, you can see works from my In Our Veins series in person at the Paul & Lulu Hilliard University Art Museum starting September 15th through December 8th.

Fragmented

“Fragmented” by Amy Guidry; acrylic on canvas; 8″w x 6″h; SOLD; (c) Amy Guidry 2012

It’s business as usual for me today, though I have to admit that I’ve got the weather channel on in the background as I wait for Isaac.  So while we still have power, I wanted to post my latest painting- Fragmented, acrylic on canvas, 8″w x 6″h.  The initial image for this actually came to mind while I was starting to fall asleep.  The common notion that animals are a means to an end and nothing more than “parts,” I felt that the horse faces and hooves illustrated this concept while at the same time focusing on their importance.  Despite the relatively small size, I really honed in on the details in the horse faces and eyes, making them as expressive as possible.  View a larger image here: http://www.amyguidry.com/fragmented.html.

"Symbiotic" by Amy Guidry; acrylic on canvas; 11"w x 14"h; SOLD; (c) Amy Guidry 2012

Another painting from my In Our Veins series will have a new home.  Symbiotic is an acrylic on canvas, 11″w x 14″h.  There is a good bit of history to this piece- for starters, it comes from one of the original sketches I did in the early stages of the series.  Because I do these sketches while I am currently working on other paintings, it can be quite some time before they come to fruition.  Needless to say, I have lived with the concept for Symbiotic for awhile.  Also, it was this year’s Best of Show winner in the Surreal Salon held at the Baton Rouge Gallery Center for Contemporary Art.  As a result of my win, it was featured in ads in both Juxtapoz and Hi-Fructose magazine.  I’m happy that it will be in good hands and joining a fantastic collection of work.

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

Another painting from the In Our Veins series has found a new home.  Untitled (Desert) is an acrylic on canvas, 4″ x 4,” and will be joining a couple of my other paintings.  It is actually a spin-off from one of my larger paintings, Heads II which can be seen here: www.amyguidry.com/Heads_II.html (and FYI Heads II is one of the paintings included in the upcoming show I’m doing at the Hilliard Museum in Lafayette, LA this September).  View a larger image of Untitled (Desert) here: www.amyguidry.com/untitled04.html.
