Womens Gender roles and Manikins, ….suffering manikins…and more

June 5, 2016 by Ricki

My recently completed paintings of manikins are a reference to the confining, and yet sometimes unfortunately alluring, aspects of gender roles for women. The manikins are trapped in windows, surrounded by gendered lovely lures. Please look carefully at the one with two manikins titled Eve. actually please look look at all three.

The three manikin paintings are 24 x 36 each and they are acrylic on canvas. I like them as a triptych and singly as well.

I have had a very prolific several months of painting, 14 paintings in 6 months, plus drawing and sketches.

Three of my recent paintings where exhibited in the Art Students League group show in April.

My most recently completed painting is a “Child’s Dream”. It is a child’s mind view of the old beloved doll house, which has been enjoyed, damaged and played with by 3 generations of our family. It will be photographed this week. The family doll house lovers who have seen the painting all want it! A terrific compliment. I will have the painting photographed and look into creating Giclee prints!

I will be painting semi-outdoors for the summer on the large screened porch of my summer home.

So Many New Paintings and 2 Exhibits

January 10, 2016 by Ricki

I have been consumed painting, painting and painting at an intense clip! My city-scapes now include more people and unique situations: the street life of mid-town and the flood of ongoing new super tall tower construction as experienced from the street, as a pedestrian.

Three pieces were recently included in the exhibit at The Drawing Center in Chelsea, NYC. This was a benefit exhibit for Art-In-a-Box which brings partners with educators, and provides art materials to teachers in Cambodia who work with at-risk children. The purpose is to help the children have a creative outlet and explore self expression.

Another painting was recently on exhibit at the Phyllis Harriman Mason Gallery of The Art Students League on West 57th Street, NYC, as part of their wonderful Holiday Show. The Holiday Show is great fum. The paintings are hung salon style, floor to ceiling, and cover the walls completely. Everything is for sale. Buyers choose their painting and walk out with it the same day. The artist can hang another painting in the same spot until the end of the show. Opening morning the gallery is packed with buyers. Pretty awesome!
