I will be exhibiting some artwork at the Imagenes Studio:Paseo Plaza Gallery quartely art show coming up on April 14 openning reception 7pm to 9pm -free admission..
My Art Exhibition is serving Bird Flu topic on cardboard unframed - mix media paintings. As you know cardboard is usually an industrialy used product and used as a painting medium, can be relevently striking or awkward. Carboard has been used many times as some may call it the poor mans canvas. Edvard Munch used tempera on cardboard for the the famous painting :" The Scream".
To me the real world is stranger than fiction. It is no strange reality to read about war or pandemic , deaths or world misery next to slogans, media, ads and big corporations pushing for sales. "It is the mixed message I get from this surreal media that is reflected on the paintings". The strange feeding of information may make people not care about the truth and or reality. I can picture people fascinated about the newest suv or the newest sparkling cell phones, than realizing that thousands of birds are being killed to keep a deadly disease from mutating. A choice of reality: between fashion and famine, a blockbusters movie or a 5 year old war. Yet maybe the mix media messages served in this chaotic balance of good and bad is what keeps us sane and able to sleep at night. Dream some day of driving that brand new suv with no mind for high gas prices or deadly disease.

In the same exhibit is a goup of watercolor artist: Marilyn Brown
Cathy Lynch and DiAnn Huth
