BLESSED (2006)

VARNISHED ULTRACHROME ON PANEL

22 X 26 INCHES

EDITION OF 1

“I paint pictures of the human soul... that alluring

image of the hidden part of ourselves... some call

them ghosts or spirits but I see them as the image

of who we truly are, made manifest with all the

objects and bruises that filled the story of each life.

Like a wonderful old book you find that captures

you with the mystery of the main character you read

the beginning and fall under its spell and become

unaware of the real nature of reality because you

are absorbed by the story till its end. I figure that's

what life is and if you cherished a piece of music or

an old jewelry box or favorite chair they become

part of your soul just as you leave a part of yourself

in those objects when you leave this world... next

time your in an antique shop... quiet your mind and

you will hear all the voices embedded in all of those

old things... you will hear them singing to you.”

Dawn Black

"My drawings not only explore my own mania

regarding disguised and surrogate identity but

of society’s at large by depicting scenes of

carefully selected concealed figures drawn in

gouache and ink on paper." Dawn Black

Linda Herzog

"In dreamstates, Linda has detailed visions

in color of her creations. In oil she is able

to capture these scenes on canvas with a

unique style and representation of wildlife.

Although she has not had any formal training,

through the years she has been able to create

her own look that she calls "Wildlife Fantasy"."

Allen Jones

"Jones's preference was for glamour and style,

and his aesthetic centred on beautiful women

visualised erotically and stereotypically as in

glossy magazines, advertisements and cartoon

strips. Underpinned with a great mastery of colour

and a consummate painting technique, Jones's

work fluctuates between painting and sculpture."
