From my collection

1 Comment

I recently got another piece to add to my own art collection.  This one is by Alli Bratt, a fellow vegan artist in Portland, called In, Out, and Upside Down.  It’s an acrylic and watercolor on wood, 1 7/8″wide x 11 5/8″high.  As a vegan myself, I especially want to support other vegans and as an artist, I want to support those that are also artists all the while enjoying my new purchase.  I have yet to put it in its “official” spot, as I have big plans to paint walls and arrange other works with it, but I’ve posted a photo of the painting which you can view below.  And you can check out more of Alli’s work on her website: http://allisonjbratt.com/.

100 Degrees

Leave a comment

This summer has been incredibly busy to say the least.  I’ve had to miss out on openings for shows because I’m already at the opening for another.  I suppose these are the moments I could use a stunt double…  At least I can vicariously enjoy the Wally Workman Gallery opening for 100 Degrees thanks to the photos.  The exhibit is up now through September 1st and features new work by several of the gallery’s artists.  One of which being mine… you may recognize this painting from an earlier post.  You can also view it here: www.amyguidry.com/succession.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.

New Realm Review

Leave a comment
"Adaptation" by Amy Guidry; acrylic on canvas; 36"w x 48"h; (c) Amy Guidry 2012

My recent New Realm solo exhibition received a great review on the Southern contemporary art blog, Louisianaesthetic.  Reggie Michael Rodrigue said of my work, “It’s basically about the ability to choose one’s direction or directions without distraction, without shackles, and without having to ask for permission from the powers that be. Guidry seems to be saying that the real power resides inside all of us, whether we are innies, outties are something in between. We can all be “forces of nature” as long as we tend to ourselves and our surroundings with diligence, curiosity, wisdom and love.”  Exactly.  Read the review online at: http://louisianaesthetic.com/2012/07/22/beauty-and-the-beasts-in-the-new-realm-amy-guidry-at-lafayettes-ballet-academy/  .

"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.

Beautiful Crime

Leave a comment

The UK contemporary art news site Beautiful Crime recently did a Spotlight feature on my latest body of work, In Our Veins.  Editor Ruthie Holloway said of my work, “Balancing on the edge of both photorealism and pop surrealism, American artist, Amy Guidry paints nature with an intricate hand and an inventive mind. Drawing on various influential subject matter as varied as dreams and C.S. Lewis novel characters, Guidry’s world of strange, human-like and captivating characters of animals lends the viewer an unusual insight in to her surrealist yet photorealist painted world – check out the skeletal characters contrasted with the intricately painted rock formations as testament.”  Many paintings from the series are featured which you can read about here: http://beautifulcrime.com/contemporary-art/spotlight-surrealist-painter-amy-guidry.

Visions of the Unnatural World

Leave a comment

I’m a little slow to post these given my show at Barrister’s Gallery ended June 23rd.  Nevertheless, I wanted to share photos from the opening reception for my 3-person exhibition, “Visions of the Unnatural World.”  It was a really great exhibit and a great pair of artists – Nikki Crook and Monique Ligons – to show with.  More photos are also online here: http://www.amyguidry.com/events.html.

Art Melt 2012

Leave a comment

I recently attended the Preview Party for the 2012 Art Melt at the Shaw Center for the Arts in Baton Rouge, LA.  My painting Survival of the Fittest was one of the works selected for the show by jurors Franklin Sirmans (Chief Curator, Los Angeles County Museum of Art); Ron Platt (Curator, Birmingham Museum of Art); and Thomas Neff (Artist and Professor of Art, LSU).  If you missed the Preview Party and the opening reception, no worries as the exhibit will be up through August 3rd.
