7/25/2018 0 Comments Artist Spotlight - Rosemary AllenSelf-trained and influenced by her time with CoSM, Rosemary's works are an invocation of healing and transformation emanating from mediation and energetic processing 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 GilmerChristopher 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.

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. Viewers may be compelled to touch her textured creations, inspired by naturally occurring harmonies and patterns in nature. Her paintings are meant to be meditative, eliciting calm and reflection. You can check out more of her art on her Instagram page or at Gallery Lucid August 4th through the 27th.

SUBMIT YOUR WORK before July 13th! -Gallery Lucid 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. 3/26/2018 0 Comments March 26th, 2018JC Amorrortu is a multidisciplinary artist from Lima, Peru. Although JC trained in the styles of the Old Masters; he enjoys working with symbols and manipulating meanings as he explores new techniques that build upon his classical training. His drive to continually produce, express his creative nature, and challenge people's views of the world and themselves is bringing him notoriety, although that has not been and is not his goal. He prices his art in such a manner as to meet his needs and make it available to most who might wish to own his work. "Clone Trooper" Oil Painting by JC Amorrortu JC can be contacted about commissions and additional works here. He came by the Gallery to pick up payment for his oil painting of a Lego Stormtrooper, recently purchased by a blockchain celebrity. I offered him a few minutes under the light to connect with deeper parts of him that might provide answers and the direction he is currently seeking. It is a pleasure to create for someone who finds so much pleasure in creating for others. JC is an artist and old soul whose personality shows through his work. He's someone I appreciate more each time we have an opportunity to connect.
