Visual News: Amy Guidry Explores the Psychology of Life and Death

My work was recently featured on the Visual News.  Managing editor Benjamin Starr writes, “The recent collection of paintings from Louisiana based artist Amy Guidry brings the surreal so certainly into existence it seems to easily step off the canvas into reality.”  I also had the opportunity to answer a few questions about my series.  You can read the feature online here: Visualnews.com/2013/04/09/amy-guidry-explores-the-psychology-of-life-and-death/#more-81985.

I’ve recently finished another new painting in the In Our Veins series.  It’s titled Tree of Life and it is an acrylic on canvas, 4″ wide by 6″ high.  The idea for this one was from one of my earlier sketches, though I modified it a bit and added the moths.  View the painting online here: www.amyguidry.com/tree-of-life.html.

“Nurture” by Amy Guidry; acrylic on canvas; 4″ x 4″; SOLD; (c) Amy Guidry 2013

I’ve added a new painting to my In Our Veins series, which also quickly found a new home after featuring it in my recent newsletter.  Nurture is an acrylic on canvas, 4″ x 4.”  Nurture comes from one of my original sketches for this series and was perfect for the smaller canvas size.  I comb through my sketchbooks on a regular basis looking over ideas I’ve saved and reworking others.  I’d say about 95% of the paintings I do come from sketches I’ve created well in advance since I typically work on one painting at a time, hence the need to save ideas in my sketchbook.

Anthropomorphism

Leave a comment
“Anthropomorphism” by Amy Guidry; acrylic on canvas; 6″ x 6″; SOLD; (c) Amy Guidry 2013

My latest painting in my In Our Veins series is now online– Anthropomorphism and it is an acrylic on canvas, 6″ x 6.”  As seen throughout the series, animal heads and limbs are representative of the viewpoint that animals are a means to an end.  Instead of a jackrabbit, I chose to use a dwarf rabbit, or to some, endearingly known as a “bunny.” The “bunny,” being a popular, cute animal generates sympathy, but even more so when dressed in children’s clothing.  Is there a difference between species?  Is one more important than another?  Why is it that when something is small or cute or childlike, we think more fondly of it?  View the painting online here: http://www.amyguidry.com/anthropomorphism.html.

Artsy Forager feature “The Awakening: Amy Guidry”

My New Realm series was recently featured on Artsy Forager.  Editor Lesley Frenz writes “…There’s been talk of women’s rights, gender equality, etc.  It seems as women, we still struggle against the fairy tales we grow up with versus the reality of living as a contemporary female.  In her New Realm series, Louisiana artist Amy Guidry weaves a new kind of story, as surreal as any myth yet grounded in modern strength.”  View online at this direct link: http://artsyforager.com/2012/12/17/amy-guidry/.

Adondelaviste: Amy Guidry

I’m a little behind in posting but my work was recently featured on Adondelaviste.  Several paintings from my In Our Veins series are featured and as translated on the page, it states: “Her fascinating work introduces us to a surrealist and eclectic world, where the animal kingdom, nature and men interact in intriguing scenes.”  View online at this direct link: http://adondelaviste.tumblr.com/post/38944655117/amy-guidry.
