Kicking off our Summer Art Class Series, Gallery Lucid is hosting a dynamic, 3-part still life painting class with a twist and an end goal of creating a still life painting which incorporates each artist's choice of visionary, fantasy, psychedelic, or abstract painting. The workshop is being taught by instructor and visionary artist Greg Pettit. The three weekly classes begin Thursday, June 21st, 2018 and will be from 6pm to 10pm each night ($250 for all 3 evenings, together). Some snacks and beverages will be provided and Black Star Coop is directly across the street if the needs become greater. Sign up here! WORKSHOP DETAILS from Greg Pettit:"The workshop will be a Still Life Class for beginners, intermediate, or advanced painting students centered on challenging students to create their own references and then using those to incorporate elements of realism into fantasy, visionary, or even abstract painting. (I'll be teaching from the perspective of using acrylics, but if you are a die hard oil painter that's fine, too.) Observational painting from life is a great way for honing the fundamental skills needed to take one's painting technique to a higher level. This WON'T be painting bowls of fruit or flower vases. "Each student will create their own diorama by constructing a scene out of various objects and materials that will serve as a template to base their paintings off of. I will walk each student through the steps of constructing a reference with lighting, choosing and developing a composition, creating an underpainting, and working in color. "In the first class the student will construct a reference that they can use as their subject, make some thumbnail drawings of possible compositions, and then work on a 3 tone monochromatic underpainting. 11/16/2017 1 Comment Grand OpeningAnnouncing a new visionary art gallery and seeker's center!

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 RogersElliot 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."
11/13/2017 2 Comments Artist Spotlight - Dixon StovallDixon 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. |
