 Through sculpture, painting, film and performance arts, Eris Gentle expresses the intensity and absurdity of human existence using everyday objects and forms to express everything from spiritual awakening to madness. Eris is a multimedia artist who hails from New Orleans, but is now based in Austin. As she appreciates the intensity and dynamic nature of life and uses painting, drawing, clay sculpture, film, and performance to tell her stories and to challenge our views on the nature of why we are here.  "I" by Eris Gentle 12"x9" Acrylic Ink Her work acknowledges the surreal elements and underlying enchantments in everyday objects, landscapes, and human forms. She's fascinated by subjects that normally don't come up in conversation like the phenomenon of dreaming, psychedelic experiences, spiritual awakening, and how we understand this reality. Her creations appear to be an intentional invitation to generate discussions about such intriguing ideas.  You can check work out at Gallery Lucid until August 27, 2018 and find more examples of her work on her Instagram page or her website.

7/25/2018 0 Comments Artist Spotlight - Rosemary Allen Self-trained and influenced by her time with CoSM, Rosemary's works are an invocation of healing and transformation emanating from mediation and energetic processing  "The Messenger" by Rosemary Allen (2018) 24x48 inch acrylic on linen Rosemary Allen is an Austin artist who was raised in Black Creek, WI and moved to Texas at age 15. She has been drawing and painting since childhood and has always had a passion for expressing her creativity from painting, to acting, to even designing and sewing her own dresses. She is a self taught painter with no formal training other than occasional guidance from her Mother (Patty Allen) who is also a painter. She attended a Visionary Art Intensive with Alex and Allison Grey in 2014 but has honed her skills mostly from her own trial and error. She currently works with watercolours, acrylics, and oil and has been residing in Austin, Texas since 2013. Rosemary's mystical work invokes the power to heal and transform. The subject matter portrays a direct reflection of self-work and emotional processing. She views art as a meditative practice, and believes the energy a painting radiates directly affects a viewer's psyche. Each of Rosemary's spirit animal paintings represent a state of transformation and growth as they assist in the progression of maturity and awareness of the human experience.  You can check out her website here, her Facebook Page here, and her instagram here. Or you could come meet her in person this Saturday night at the Surreal Summer Visions show at Gallery Lucid.
7/25/2018 1 Comment Artist Profile -Chris Gilmer Christopher Lee Gilmer: Chris is an Austin muralist who has been inspired by datamoshing, quantum mechanics, and the over-saturated imagery of life. He creates artwork that explores the psychological effects of the physical mutations of the figure in time as though various realities merge. With a cubist approach, he explores the different outcomes of candid moments as one singular reality (creating multiple moments in a single moment), often blurring the lines between realism and expressionism; sometimes adding primitive line art to the entangling almost parallel poses.

7/20/2018 2 Comments Artist Spotlight-Melanie FarrisMelanie Farris is a visionary artist based in Austin, TX. She began drawing and painting after a friend introduced her to sacred geometry in 2012. Since then she has been on a journey to create visionary art to brighten the world! She is inspired by the mysteries of the cosmos and geometric patterns found throughout nature, just to name a few. Creating art began as a meditative therapy and blossomed into a thriving passion. Her paintings are meant to illicit calm, happiness, and reflection.   She works primarily in acrylics and creates hypnotic paintings intended to take the viewer to the unknown. Her art represents the familiar and that which is alien.

In 2003 he moved to Austin, eventually enrolling at the University of Texas College of Fine Arts. He graduated with a BFA in Studio Art in 20008. Greg first began painting in 2006 and by late 2007 and had abandoned most of his prior artistic direction to move forward with a body of work that corresponded to his growing fascination with the terror and beauty of trans-dimensional realities. Straddling the line between abstraction and polished rendering of sensible forms, Greg strives to create imagery that exists within a refracted sense of space and time. His work is characterized by depictions of abstract landscapes, transparent machine-like forms, fantastic creatures, and geometrically defined sentinel-like structures.

11/14/2017 0 Comments Artist Spotlight - Elliot Rogers Elliot Rogers Artist Statement "My paintings combine aspects of surrealism, abstraction, and psychedelic visionary art. Using vibrant colors, mathematical forms, and repetition, I construct hypnotic spaces, which reflect inner meditative visions and explore the connection between the self and the alien other. In the future, I will extend these concepts beyond the canvas, and create more immersive experiences through installation art, virtual reality, video, and music production. "Since 2011 I have been painting surreal mindscapes, mostly with acrylics. After graduating from the Santa Fe University of Art and Design in 2013, with a focus on studio art, I returned to my hometown of Austin, TX to pursue a life of art and music. I began sharing my art with the public in 2014, through live painting and social media. Since then, I have found a thriving community of like-minded artists, with whom I have been collaborating on various projects. When I’m not making art, I usually compose and produce electronic music, or perform live music. I have also explored interactive installation art and projection mapping, including a contribution to Meow Wolf’s “Nimbus” art installation in 2012."   11/14/2017 0 Comments Artist Spotlight - William Allan RossWilliam Allan Ross is an Austin native, born in 1993 with his twin sister, Jade. He began his forays into art and music at the age of 3. While he quickly discovered the potential of using art and music to cope with the chaos of the world, he gradually found that beauty could not only expand the mind but also help understand one's relationship to the world. "It is my belief that the universe expands at the same rate as what we understand to be consciousness. With love I try to expand these boundaries of light and pigment, furthering human understanding at large and hopefully allowing any individual participating to unlock their own personal potential."   11/13/2017 2 Comments Artist Spotlight - Dixon Stovall Dixon Stovall is a Texas-based musician and visual artist exploring the future via subconscious experiences. Heavily influenced by biomech, futuristic architectural patterns, physics, and mathematical fractals, Dixon's art and musical interpretations of this realm serve to challenge the viewer to create his or her own perception of future realities.   Tourmaline Todd Shepherd Todd Shepherd is known for his chaotically detailed paintings and unique jewelry creations. His background in architecture, nature, and music inspire these diverse compositions. The use of mixed media on large and small scales draws the viewer in, allowing them to discover details in the colorful lines and fades that fill the canvas. Performing in front of crowds and with experimental music as the backdrop, his paintings come to life organically with explosions of intricate shapes and symbols. Playful and expressive strokes combined with balanced symmetry invoke dimensional patterns that encourage exploration and moments of reflection. These designs translate well into three dimensions and have been used in jewelry production. He currently resides in his hometown and creative center of Austin Texas.
