In the past fifteen years, Louisiana-based artist Amy Guidry has made the most of that time cultivating her career as an artist. The results of which will be exhibited at the Slidell Cultural Center beginning February 24th. The work featured will include many of Guidry’s most popular paintings, including those that garnered her the attention of American Artist magazine and MTV’s The Real World: Hollywood.

This solo exhibition will feature paintings from several of Guidry’s series, including early portraits and social commentary works. As stated by the artist, “My work stems from two loves- Psychology and Art. With Surrealism being the grand marriage of the two, I was naturally drawn to every aspect behind the movement. Themes I explore involve the human psyche- who we are and how we interact with each other, including our relationship with other animals and the natural world.”
Amy Guidry’s work has been exhibited in galleries and museums nationwide including the Visual Arts Center of New Jersey, the Alexandria Museum of Art , Brandeis University, and the Acadiana Center for the Arts. She recently received the Best of Show award in the Surreal Salon held at the Baton Rouge Gallery- Center for Contemporary Art this past January. Her work is present in private and public collections including the Alexandria Museum of Art , the Zigler Art Museum, the Schepis Museum, and the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art. Guidry’s paintings have been featured in publications such as American Artist Magazine, Professional Artist Magazine, Adbusters, and Newsday. Her work has also been featured on MTV’ s The Real World, Season 20: Hollywood as well as the upcoming feature film “When Angels Sing” starring Harry Connick, Jr. and Lyle Lovett. Guidry grew up in Slidell, LA and later attended Loyola University New Orleans where she received her Bachelors degree in Visual Art in 1998.

Hibernus
David Ellingsen
January 5 – February 4, 2012
Opening reception January 7, 5 - 8 pm
akasha art projects welcomes this New Year with an exclusive photographic exhibition by award winning Vancouver based photographer David Ellingsen.
In this body of work, entitled ‘Hibernus’, Ellingsen utilizes botanical subject matter to explore personal notions of natural order, the cycle of life, as well as
kinship with, and disassociation from, one’s environment. Use of, the now discontinued, Polaroid 55PN film has allowed Ellingsen to capture pure, organic
images that demonstrate broad tonal range. Hand processed and archivally printed, these photographs emanate a richness that makes each one strikingly
beautiful and uniquely authentic.

EDITION29 Architecture Issue 008 for iPad continues with the spirit of the previous issues, showcasing modern houses from Sao Paulo to Nagoya, Japan. Architect Shigeru Fuse tells us about the concrete sculpture he created as the house in Akibo, with ultra modern sculptural interiors that seemed carved from cement walls. Architect Takeshi Hosaka brings abundant natural light into the Daylight House with glass blocks fitted onto the roof that make up segments of the roof providing rays of light into the house.
Canadian architect Michael Taylor creates a simple wooden cabin in the forested regions of Ontario as a private module for the owners of a larger compound. Several slanting roofs arranged to point in two opposing directions provide the small rooms of the Complex House their own independent roofs with abundant natural light seeping in, giving this design a look of two rows of roofs sheltering a family in a tiny plot of land in Nagoya created by the architect Tomohiro Hata.
The Desert House in Paradise Valley, Arizona is a 20 year old structure re-imagined and resurrected by Peter M. Koliopoulos to be a building in tune with its desert setting while also being a low impact construction with many recycled materials. The roof and the surrounding one acre plot was regraded to maximize capture of rainwater.
This issues rounds out with stunning residential structures by architect Robert Edmonds in Kenwood, California to the curved glass wall embedded Lake Lugano House in Switzerland by architect Jacopo Mascheroni.
IndianArtCollectors.com this month features an entirely different concept by Mr. Suresh Gulage: An artist who chose the less followed path and made Architectural Landscapes as his trademark work.
December 2, 2011: Suresh Gulage is a well known name when it comes to giving life to speechless buildings.“Buildings may be mute spectators, but they hold the life of a city” says the artist that defines his ability to observe life. His work would be exclusively available for sale in exhibition section of IndianArtCollectors.com.
Through brushwork and hues, Suresh highlight the beauty of buildings by recreating these marvels using a vibrant colour palette and technique that oscillates between being in-the-face to subtle and suggestive, both instances replete with the exquisiteness of the built form. Suresh Gulage loves the light play and the way the same light illuminates different parts of the building in different ways. His work is highly inspired by the effect that lights, colours, motifs, seasons and day times play on a building making it appear different at varied instances.
A post Graduate in Art, this painter to created his own identity during the early phase of his career. “There are so many artists who paint landscapes, portraits, abstract, there are very few who really paint architectural landscapes. “I wanted to make a name in this genre and I think I have achieved that” says Suresh proclaiming his success without hesitation but without sounding pompous or egoistic.
