The New Millennium Gallery
|
| Mardi Gras: The "centerpiece" of our New Millenium Gallery is this spectacular pencil drawing of a woman with blonde hair, holding a candle and wearing a Mardi Gras mask. I won't insult you by explaining the beautiful and deep symbolism here, but I will give one hint: note the cavities in her teeth!! |
|
| Car Flies: Let this mixed media (crayon and marker) drawing take you to another world where the smiles of cats and suns are enough to levitate an entire car! ``Mind bending and spectacular'' says the Children's art columnist of the San Francisco Times-Observer. |
|
| New to the Family: Amanda practically creates a whole new art form with this minimally colored, but heavily labeled pencil drawing of a fetus (seen beneath the word `baby', attached by its umbilical cord to a bone) surrounded by the friends and family whom it will encounter after birth. The subtle tension of this picture derives from the fact that (as no bodies are shown) we are unable to tell WHOSE tummy the baby is in! Is it Flora, Navy, Mark or the dog?!? We may never know. |
|
| The Artist's Hand: Here we see a bit of the playful creativity that has made `Amanda' a legend in the Paris art scene...what could otherwise have been a typical drawing of a giraffe is changed into a delightful self-referential statement by the inclusion of the artist's own hand on the drawing. |
|
| Mother of Two: An obviously pregnant woman pushes a baby in a swing as a mother cat and two kittens walk by. Pen and crayon. |
|
| Momma Bird: This line drawing shows a mother bird and her chick. Take special notice of the egg and nest perched in the apple tree! |
|
| Expecting: With just a few simple strokes, this drawing conveys the contented feeling of a mother-to-be. Probably originally designed as part of a logo for a popular maternity clothing chain, this drawing was simply found unsigned and untitled among the artist's sketches. |
|
| Boy in Rain: This sequel to Amanda's very popular "Girl in Rain" (see Orney and Poppa Gallery) has shocked the art world with its `honest' portrayal of the typical `every-boy' standing - hands in pocket - beneath his personal rain cloud. |
|
| Rockin' Robin: As a result of the blending of colored pencils, this rotund robin bursts into rocking life. |
