I am so pleased that the wonderful and gracious Donna Duffy is showing my paintings from the "POP Religion Series" in her beautiful Tripolo Gallery. I hope that you will take this opportunity to see my work looking good in this gorgeous setting. The gallery is in the charming old town section of Covington with coffee house, restaurants, fine shopping and lots of art nearby.
The list of paintings to be shown is still in the decision making process. We will surely hang, "Jagger Devil", as it is an exciting attention grabber. I know that you want to see it as a painting, looking so much more vibrant than its appearance on your computer. "Marilyn Aphrodite" will be flirting off the wall. "Belushi Bacchus" will be leering his crocked smile. "Baby God Crying", will be screaming his head off.
Also, I want to show a few works from the "Radiance Series", just recently painted. I have been trying to put into words what this series is "about". An artist verbalizing what images are "about" is treading a slippery slope, that might be better avoided, however, people ask, and it seems that words must be produced. I wish that the images would visually communicate, almost psychically transport, from my mind to your mind, but not everyone is fluent in the language of images. Words help to bridge the gap.
The "Radiance Series", are pictures of women's faces, but they are not portraits, they are studies of psychological or spiritual states or moods. I think that three of the paintings tell a story of emotional growth. "Pensive", shows a deep contemplative state. "Dragonfly Woman", is awakening to expanded consciousness. And "Endurance Fluid", is experiencing the consciousness state of nirvana. So, these three will make a nice exhibit trio.
I am not re-posting these pictures, you can just scroll back to the two most previous entries to see them.
I hope to see you at the opening, but if you cant make that, the paintings will be hanging for a few weeks and you can pop in to take a look.
