<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">Approached as an exercise in liberation, Helen Bayly abandons the idea of polite beauty and casts her eye on primal nature and female sexuality in <i>Making Friends with the Devil</i>, opening Friday, September 6, 2013, at 7pm.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Arial; line-height: 12.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px; text-align: justify;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"><i>Baby Machine, be fruitful,</i> mounts a challenge to historical traditions that assign the maternal as an idealized state of womanhood. In an image of exaggerated fertility, aberrantly placed crowning infants are seen pushing their way out of a woman’s chest, torso, and hips, highlighting the violence and pain inherent in childbirth. <i>Born into This</i> (a nod to Bukowski’s eponymous poem) dismantles the sacrosanctity of maternity as well, with a woman giving birth to a skeleton shown reaching back to tear at the mother’s hair. The artist takes a more playful tone addressing female desire with <i>'I love you' penis</i>, a 30"x22" graphite drawing which spells out “I love you” in what could be typographically termed “penis font.” The fetishisticly elongated member twists and ropes itself into an elegant cursive against a background of pale petal-pink flesh tone.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Arial; line-height: 12.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px; text-align: justify;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">Bayly unflinchingly takes on raw subject matter, expertly pairing it with a sweeter aesthetic. Bloodied animals, unraveling umbilical cords and exposed genitals are displayed in delicate pencil rendering often surrounded by tiny flower garlands and light acrylic washes. This balance allows Bayly to convey graphic imagery in an affectionate manor even when the content is darker in mood. In doing so, the works comprising <i>Making Friends with Devil</i> conjure Julia Kristeva’s idea of the abject, detailed as a sense of disgust which is simultaneously morbidly compelling. “By way of abjection,” Kristeva writes in <i>Powers of Horror</i>, “primitive societies have marked out a precise area of their culture in order to remove it from the threatening world of animals or animalism, which were imagined as representatives of sex and murder.” Societal and moral development has been aligned with the repression of primal urges and it is this repression that Bayly is set to explore.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">When starting a body of work, I tend to choose subject matter very close to my personal experience. In this series, <i>Making Friends with the Devil</i>, I wanted to take on issues around my relationship to female sexuality. The title represents a change in what I used to see as taboo and now am finding an attraction to, embracing my human nature regardless of its moral corruption.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">At a time where we as a culture consume more pornography than ever before, I felt inspired to work with some common porn themes, like female masturbation or submissive/dominate role play, to properly sift out my primal attraction versus my rational aversion. In the evolution of the human brain, we began with the basic instinctual reflexes. Currently our comprehension extends to allow the ability to remember, recall and to use stored information to inform future responses. While we may understand our behaviors more deeply, we are still fueled by instinctual reflexes, one often times in direct contradiction to the other.</span></div>

I am working on a new series of pieces that are based on sexuality. It's in it's infancy stage, much to be developed but I'm wildly enthusiastic about the results thus far and looking forward to unveiling a new body of work in a solo exhibition this September.

There was art installations, murals, art fairs spilling over with exhibitions surrounded by beautiful landscapes of warm weather and sandy tropical beaches... oh right, in December! No one sleeps here and I fell right into line with this philosophy. I would take care of art business in the day time, then out and about exploring the town and the super sexy people in the night. Four hour dancing sessions, live murals, bright pink sunrises, it was so good. I loved that there was so much excitement over art as well. People from all around the world flew in to take over Miami, art was so popular for a week. Art should get weeks everywhere all over the world, even small towns in rural areas, at least a few times a year. Bring back the celebration of the imagination! <br />
Here are a few shots of the Aqua Art adventure, and if you're going next year let me know and we can have cocktails together on the beach!<br />

Life works in mysterious ways, and after a long and not so unusual series of meetings I ended up with two new projects around music. One project was a poster I made for musician Roem Baur, and the other was a mural I painted last week for the Red Devil Lounge, a live music venue on Polk Street. I found these projects to be especially exciting because in a loose sense, it's a cross genre collaboration. I wanted to get a sense of what these fellows did, while making Roem's poster I listened to his album over and over (I obviously liked it too, so it wasn't strictly for research), I was trying to get a sense for what he was really expressing as an artist. And while meeting with Jay, not quite as intimately but on a personal level I wanted to understand the character that he wanted to give the club based on his beliefs of what the Red Devil meant to him. It was an enjoyable interchange all the way around and rather than promoting food products, or something else I care for equally as little, I got to spend time thinking about music, and in the end, I got to go see Roem perform and I experienced a show at the Red Devil Lounge, both of which were memorable and a total blast. If you didn't know it already, dancing is good for your soul.<br />

I'm working on a big project for an art party in the Yerba Buena area, downtown SF. There will be performers, all sorts of artists, museums will be open late and free. I'll be making a large light box, about 7'x10', with a painted mural on transparent paper. A glowing mural... just starting the studies for it, I'll post more as I get closer to completion</div>

A few weeks ago I participated in a live art performance night downtown San Francisco for a Yerba Buena neighborhood night. I was a great experience where I get to meet all kinds of new people and it pushes me to be more public with my painting process (which is normally in the safety of my studio complete with coffee cup and pajama pants). I think I may have been a bit ambitious with the size because by the end of the two hour event I had really only blocked in most of the piece, but what is life if not a learning opportunity. And painting aside, I was in the company of some lovely performers, belly dancers, vocalists, contortionists, oh my! It reinforces my sense of wonder with creativity in general, what a spectacular time and place to be a human. Thanks San Francisco.thehelentreehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13110837486424487001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3536633287857551895.post-48440012276875822822012-06-12T19:17:00.001-07:002012-08-14T18:56:08.081-07:00'Lust for Life' exhibition<div style="text-align: center;">

It's time to release my large paintings to the viewing public after over a year of hard work. I am very much looking forward to my Solo Exhibition at Lopo Gallery. I have been working with the Gallery for a while but this will be my most ambitious show thus far, with one painting in particular that took me six months to finish. I have posted some of the pieces in my blog here, but there will be plenty of previously unseen works, and to be honest the pictures hardly do just to the ink paintings because they have lots of little details that get lost by the lens. Come in to see it in person if possible!<br />
<br />
I'll also be in the Gallery the week before the opening working on some installations to go with the artwork. I think that if given the opportunity, making an environment in the gallery around my art is the way to go. I find that as artists we can expand on our concepts by not limiting the expression to the rectangular shape of the art, but to let people walk into a room and become submerged in their surroundings, that's what it is to be generous with ones work. That will be my goal in May, to create an environment not just a show. I look forward to the challenge!<br />

On New Years Eve 2012 I painted at a fancy event in a fancy hotel where young, pretty people came out to drink and celebrate. I was sober until about 11:45 because I was painting and I wanted to stay concentrated around such a large group of people. The result of this was being very conscious at midnight surrounded by a mass of extremely inebriated very unconscious and equally unpleasant people. I'm no stranger to the party culture either, game recognise game. Growing up in Santa Cruz we started early and did it right. Not to say it makes the ideals of indulgence any more attractive or healthy, it just means I had to learn the hard way, and still need reminders from time to time. Anyways, back to the art, based on the mythological fountain of youth, this fountain of decay delivers a promise just the same, it's the ugly side of free and adventurous ever sought after endless party lifestyle. There lying in the shadows is addiction, depression, disease, disgrace, basically the full package of decay to the human body and mind. </div><br /><div>Please enjoy the artwork responsibly.</div></div></div>thehelentreehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13110837486424487001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3536633287857551895.post-58947584389030745622012-02-21T17:44:00.007-08:002012-03-05T10:25:53.318-08:00The American Albino Alligator<div align="center"></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 326px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5711770377333698034" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbnhB50POsFGFWmLMOPbqiVVM7mab4bYuRj3qQoVjLht_MMpxmxf1aVTJjN5krIbToSw2s8FTmne9Lf63fHA7I6uMVY9MslG2RNXa-429-lULcpnnCQjHxWz1lZ5nme-5gkeTIQq_qcMs/s400/Picture+11565.jpg" />(click on image to enlarge) </div><br /><br /><div align="center">This painting is for a Thursday Night party in March at the California Academy of Sciences.

The new building (2009?) is a very beautiful, advanced, self sustainable structure dedicated to the Natural Sciences, but I <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">remember</span> the old building from years ago. I grew up in Santa Cruz, about a two hour drive to San Francisco, and my mom used to take me on trips there as a child. There was a large Alligator pit, much like the current one, and you could stare down at these ancient <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">creatures</span> which were very impressive, all be it quite inactive. I very <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">much</span> enjoyed these trips and find that today looking back on my early experiences with the natural world I can't help but give them credit for my adult passion and connection to nature. Some day I'll have to retire to a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">calmer</span> place, where the gators run free (but hopefully not too close by) and I can take my shoes off and reclaim my place in the larger <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">scheme</span> of things: as a lonely human on a big planet. </div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center"></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 332px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 221px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5716479320669022642" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsFQGTPVdGbxH8KXWEOjvE-LXMCS2U8mzE64I7cSU2sct-UM8zzMnxAwMbVYJg5Oepani9LiP79m59boZyjAEE4KP7bd4eC0oHCnuG1j8Aaw0Ss-0BVZ2sZxS-S08JNJEcCDMsPHq0Nv4/s400/the_messenger.jpg" /> <br /><p align="center"><em>The Messenger</em>, an Albino Snake<br /></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p>thehelentreehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13110837486424487001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3536633287857551895.post-24035060821305103852012-01-04T11:27:00.000-08:002012-01-04T11:40:26.161-08:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_0-RM_R_QvNa7SYUhGDtqSe0BxnRN6Dof2nxnG9FgrG5Gffs-RrD5RoqekbMB89VxqJiewLsIUMS4q6YdiWeZrHLncFURPvFYevzOTVCEvqsZEwnQgK2birHHG6lLyRMelzgUypsi_K8/s1600/Picture+1084.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 306px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693861632273059954" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_0-RM_R_QvNa7SYUhGDtqSe0BxnRN6Dof2nxnG9FgrG5Gffs-RrD5RoqekbMB89VxqJiewLsIUMS4q6YdiWeZrHLncFURPvFYevzOTVCEvqsZEwnQgK2birHHG6lLyRMelzgUypsi_K8/s400/Picture+1084.jpg" /></a> Patrick Alan Dominguez <br /><div>A really great friend of my dad's passed away last year, I made him this painting as a commemoration.

He was a true Santa Cruz person. He loved a spontaneous party, playing his bass with fellow musicians, meditating, concerts, walking to the ocean, skiing and hiking in the mountains, reading, watching sporting events, listening to music, and tending his gardens. Always, Pat enjoyed sharing a good joke. He had a great sense of humor. Pat remained insightful in spite of his illness, encouraging his friends to embrace all aspects of life with a joyful state of mind.</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:85%;"></span></div><br /><div>Rest in Peace Pat...</div>thehelentreehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13110837486424487001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3536633287857551895.post-14507976311104640312011-12-28T20:03:00.001-08:002012-02-21T18:10:12.821-08:00Lust for Life<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0qqHuh2FFAKASl-2IetdU_AL94-4V5Mr6E8Guee47ktYGCep6ZRSi2pFU1BDYdxRi0x1okZVMlLOgXxdXdlVG-Mo5tcGCCjkCb2TwRlU6r8_jKTq9m-RoDkGeSQSKkKLPIuMq_6YECdM/s1600/lust+for+life.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 123px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691397548050797906" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0qqHuh2FFAKASl-2IetdU_AL94-4V5Mr6E8Guee47ktYGCep6ZRSi2pFU1BDYdxRi0x1okZVMlLOgXxdXdlVG-Mo5tcGCCjkCb2TwRlU6r8_jKTq9m-RoDkGeSQSKkKLPIuMq_6YECdM/s400/lust+for+life.jpg" /></a>(click on image to enlarge) </div><br /><br />After about six months I finished this painting, 4 foot by 12 foot in size, it was quite a bit of work. I started it after a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">decision</span> last year to make something serious, as a piece of Art that I really wanted to make for myself. Not to make it because I thought it would sell or <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">because</span> it was what other people wanted to see, but because it's what I think can bring me closer to the source. I have an idea about artists, that they have this sort of vision they start out with that gets shaped over one's life span but really it's a concept of the world that we're born with. If you look at any museum retrospective I think it becomes quite <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">obvious</span>. You can see early on what substance is there even before the the masterpiece is made, and the later work or masterpiece is often very similar, just a very polished <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">version</span> of the first ones. The trick is the polishing, which is what the life of an artist consists of. And how that time and energy is spent leads to getting closer to that original vision, or if one isn't careful, moving further away from it and living as a mirror for popular thought.<br />I don't believe we know what we're going to make in the future, but I think we can sometimes get a feeling about what it may be if we're honest with ourselves and take the path of internal <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">motivation</span>. So with this last painting, I got that feeling, like I was getting closer to the ultimate painting I would like to some day make. I don't know what that painting looks like yet (maybe it wont be a painting at all) but I did have a step, so this year ends on a high note. It ends with my Lust for Life.thehelentreehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13110837486424487001noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3536633287857551895.post-62414155362622324332011-11-06T15:33:00.000-08:002011-11-06T15:43:31.203-08:00Underwater<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFt4gXaUUPJ2etI1TEp8-bOeJigGI4r1A5tuBAXVJcltk6tpucAbTuxhcamh5v9APYjwN9cEewxlc4WSwgWw0Yx3avQxBqTghokEoefoM47YSWHcJYLrZqFATvx4ZKhGikUXN-YokiAX8/s1600/underwater.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672032059030125458" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFt4gXaUUPJ2etI1TEp8-bOeJigGI4r1A5tuBAXVJcltk6tpucAbTuxhcamh5v9APYjwN9cEewxlc4WSwgWw0Yx3avQxBqTghokEoefoM47YSWHcJYLrZqFATvx4ZKhGikUXN-YokiAX8/s400/underwater.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div>Here's a new piece I made for Gallery 454 (454 Columbus Street is the location). The show was associated with the surf contest in town this week so the theme was around the existential vastness of the ocean, the other worldly power and grace of a huge body of water, to feel comforted in it's interconnected embrace while feeling fearful of one's compromised control. Nature at it's best. Some thing to love and embrace for it's beauty and faults alike.

I decided to go with something content wise that I could relate to, with modifications of course. In doing research for a female movie monster to fit in with the theme of this show, I came across this very powerful image of the 50 ft Woman. She's definitely still sexy, but not sexy drooping in a man arms sexy which works for me because although I would like to bring my feminine prospective into the male dominated group shows that I participate in, I didn't want to make something too cutesy. I like to push the ideas that I have of my self as well as pushing my audience when it comes to what might be considered feminine art. One may think that in this day and age, sexual orientation doesn't matter and for the most part I agree. But still I find myself tucked neatly between the lines of majority male names on the roster of artists when I show, and a smart lady friend once told me to highlight your differences, make the things that make you different stand out in a positive way. So here it is, <em>PMS Fantasy</em>, a wild mad raving character that I think most woman can relate to and probably scares a decent amount of men.thehelentreehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13110837486424487001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3536633287857551895.post-84688501321225967532011-06-01T18:44:00.000-07:002011-07-26T11:36:33.099-07:00The First Bursh Stroke is the Hardest<div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5619348056321200802" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNfJRwmF0FEeNc0hXqFGwOZebGG1UEluQYrOyfUdg0x7any65TI3uFTgxg2-FvVJb4GRvDlzuSTOixAl7DoXDqb2aeFRJGaxMsHWR62Sy1JPjrwzXH-USTt2TFIxjhxK2NzpndhzJ4Kn0/s320/Lust_for_life.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624895434600001170" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfHml666NNima2EAHX3uQ77vU2OXXHF1UhYksN_3raUUUfVZZoaoV_-un1wRRNZX38e2wHRgiuKxOzDme8k3GURg9sjPgbhyLPWWCigtv8CJb3l5UCTWn-W5NUAh5LxE0Ro7sNPooG_LQ/s320/Picture+108.jpg" /> Work in progress: I finally started this piece about a week ago. The first touch of the brush to the surface is the hardest. I made a bunch of studies first because I'm working with ink on paper now and there's officially no going back to rework anything once it's been put down. I absolutely love the medium though. There's something romantic about the way paint soaks into paper. It demands a delicate application but still wants to be covered just the same.<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613432770448498322" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNdzQrg2wlO00wzOmuDOZgccvwlcRsXkfaIRQ6REfjSwNPeKTwnZJISGv6tcCkK2lYEYzFwAob32ERSgidUF5ktn6ZT0kKhdy53n_P9ffMgZm_qH7PlTKmuv_ZupKEBMTHcSepSZY-gGA/s320/Picture+045.jpg" />The piece is about St Teresa, called <em>Lust for Life.</em> This is one of my first sketches, a self portrait as Teresa.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5633730356721720866" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwoYlx-t36K1GtuKXkX5TmkGndnzeg-N4NGVzYPcLxUeXX_Y-uLP7nh6iPD5LL0eja4JOuLQJE-rbjO6GY8ETMG3TaDZMarjE12Gpf-Xu2SMlZoPOpsgHHi13lj8ZT_lIq2xOaY6_1I5c/s320/in+progress2.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5633730355430377650" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO3t9-QpACsvCw_i1bjnSXKfQT0JTg4-typeU1gCxDoNj1i38mVD6_Pm5hmnKXTxeiBtLyhNwnIHNI9OY-NLg9WMOYq9KGhPuIv57DDa5fMyAxul-RcB1Lwz61L-_JRX_GZi909L2xWxQ/s320/in+progress1.jpg" /><br />These are the most recent photos.

A special thanks to Chris Shaher of Lopo Gallery for all of the support!<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599360105980552610" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYkHZqtt4_qGrYAeIo3QsUZeR1U1jQxohlEjL-X3-WMOH8FpUCNDnXXTxb_ZL861dASE2FFw69DA41xSK2J28OZMazt4AW1hqhvhlLePV8rTUEsyAu8bycFg9dKFh9iADVL1RCHK9sVs8/s320/215801_158581684202299_100001514059286_338792_6682709_n.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599360110439826642" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSmBSoBeEkFz9dqO4fcdIY2UaMUc3P2-0cts9xa7A_LZPMObFektKkYkmKTKZTglGxaQUftKLJgvp5Cy-lZNeJ57cU2jyNEbBPmm1e76zpHwrxdOapJ0yODXa1dKiuAEz_ACi6-G7nxF0/s320/205614_158581770868957_100001514059286_338794_2835142_n.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599360120884292434" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHGyff12Es6nNhxdebrJaYRV6GoZ1XaLkGDM4GmSpaSZZIaQ-M80W6gioISltboMwrQ5E135XhHE-a0q5SjbFYl1mxBaVHi_pnK0OkLyTgEzfJ9WrfXa_RrgxRQFRSZtKv5L4CeYB8noU/s320/untitled3.bmp" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599360130403446034" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKGFZh7u5uYGaUmm0-jZsBaTOhyphenhyphenzbxOHXmQV9lMRGV2eFL00J-YPz0dSTdolggBsR7i4GiYX9snu6sBXwzKw8YDuZ-JlHbu43wGyxcyrfYbvV_9Bra4Qnoy1nOiiSG7P9ZtMJroGMWD1E/s320/207562_158581840868950_100001514059286_338796_4358592_n.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599360148996457858" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNtE0TSlBpd09SyotvBaOquMWXtX7-GHEHc8nUCyQeNRfWGGUsZtjAy79i7FZEQm2KLmVdGqFl3qMbO3uheqeLkhUD73nKHmjHFsMEq03PrTR_jvQIdydePILo-OAjOe1K0uREUbcxFDE/s320/207882_158581627535638_100001514059286_338790_7530835_n.jpg" />thehelentreehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13110837486424487001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3536633287857551895.post-80158582065147994182011-03-27T13:49:00.000-07:002011-03-27T14:12:57.635-07:00ORIGINS: Opening April 9th @ Lopo Gallery<div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAPAXhop-P6wLN2gCaw-UoZWD8TcBttC3Akibo4hXjwFMlep5K3QkhmDy2dZ3SExatK2vdfR1IK0-qtbJ1LtE1i01HhVaQjOBULD_OW_Qp39Kax4VtjhZzY8eFGA8pK_USEaopEB_7Jyo/s1600/2_Hindu+T-rex_2011.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 209px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588868370869902018" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAPAXhop-P6wLN2gCaw-UoZWD8TcBttC3Akibo4hXjwFMlep5K3QkhmDy2dZ3SExatK2vdfR1IK0-qtbJ1LtE1i01HhVaQjOBULD_OW_Qp39Kax4VtjhZzY8eFGA8pK_USEaopEB_7Jyo/s320/2_Hindu+T-rex_2011.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqtB89kcC7uOEk3XT8m0JzNSpi6WodlsWHPZDIaaHXiafUEiDNet8nkI-JWDuUnnTDOALRnWmmlTvbZkovPBIk1EvH1m3Jz7Z_l39os24nFqBk0j4xrvPCREyZ0Lw0ipQVT8TYxen-2v8/s1600/4_Origins_2011.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 316px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588868380658317442" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqtB89kcC7uOEk3XT8m0JzNSpi6WodlsWHPZDIaaHXiafUEiDNet8nkI-JWDuUnnTDOALRnWmmlTvbZkovPBIk1EvH1m3Jz7Z_l39os24nFqBk0j4xrvPCREyZ0Lw0ipQVT8TYxen-2v8/s320/4_Origins_2011.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid8gWYqJfR1tYPADuFyeZ2d60LbHYSxid3G4HriqIdhs9M4W1EoyGReI_b8tsjFvVMwh5PL2xeT7qLHzVwcv-jNSHEt6G8cY0VPnvzebOq_gn0US3x6AAbBGjx4Tj8JWGIhOZoYg1Dw14/s1600/8_Triceratops+skull_2011.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 267px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588868389296603362" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid8gWYqJfR1tYPADuFyeZ2d60LbHYSxid3G4HriqIdhs9M4W1EoyGReI_b8tsjFvVMwh5PL2xeT7qLHzVwcv-jNSHEt6G8cY0VPnvzebOq_gn0US3x6AAbBGjx4Tj8JWGIhOZoYg1Dw14/s320/8_Triceratops+skull_2011.jpg" /></a> </div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Fascinated by mythology and science alike, my new series of paintings depicts an unique combination of religious imagery and scientific concepts. By using prehistoric and primal imagery and applying it to mythological narratives, I am creating a new story of humans part in history and where we will be in the future. We tend to give man much of the credit for such a spectacular universe, where as I see the humans role in it to be small and still very naive. Not being a religious person, I wish to celebrate a new concept, one based on the information we have understanding of at this point in time with the similar attention and appreciation given to mythological figures.</div>thehelentreehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13110837486424487001noreply@blogger.com0
