Thank you for all the feedback on the Psychomachia sneak previews. I really appreciate your patience on seeing the full images.

Here’s another cropped
piece of the puzzle…Diligence, The Tattooed Lady!

I’ve been working on Psychomachia show for 1 1/2 years now, and we have booked the opening at Perihelion Arts on March 31st of 2011. Psychomachia is a series of fourteen pieces from myself and Arizona artist photographer Jerry Portelli.

I have 14 of the images completed.

Although I still have to finish the reveals. This work reinterprets the Seven Deadly Sins and the Seven Holy Virtues in a series of 14 diptychs, one from me and one from artist Jerry Portelli. The aesthetic theme is the sideshow freak from the circus and fairs of yesteryear–nature’s artwork, if you will combined with some tribal tattoo designs.

NEXT PROJECT: Installation at The Soap Factory?

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Click to follow Artist R.L. Gibson by Email!MONEY FOR DESSERT

Most professional artists rely on art sales for income. Most emerging artists hope for art sales for extra income for supplies. Many prestigious art shows come with publicity and great printed materials, but lots of artists never get to go to out-of-town openings due to financial constraints.

So, how do you afford to produce
artwork, submit work, get to
attend the openings and still
afford to eat dessert?

Maybe this Call for Submissions from The Soap Factory could be the answer to your art entry problems. The Soap factory is looking for work for group exhibits, AND they offer installation support, travel, accommodations, and a stipend to those selected to exhibit.  Sign me up!

I stretched my wings and sent in an application

FINISHED with Greed!

Number 14

I’ve been working on Psychomachia show for 1 1/2 years now, and we have booked the opening at Perihelion Arts on March 31st of 2011.  It is a series of 14 pieces from myself and Arizona artist Jerry Portelli. 

I now have all 14
of the images completed. 

 This work reinterprets the Seven Deadly Sins and the Seven Holy Virtues in a series of 14 diptychs, one from me and one from artist Jerry Portelli.  The aesthetic theme is the sideshow freak from the circus and fairs of yesteryear–nature’s artwork, if you will. 

The crop of my new Greed image doesn’t really show much.  So, I thought I’d offer a glimpse of my inspiration for Greed:  The Hermaphrodite…The Nymph Salmacis and Hermaphroditus by Francois-Joseph Navez. 

Enjoy!

FOURTH ATTEMPT: Gluttony

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Click to follow R.L. Gibson by Email!3rd Time was NOT a Charm

Have you ever had a piece of artwork just beat you down?  I’ve been working on Psychomachia show for 1 1/2 years now, and we have booked the opening at Perihelion Arts on March 31st of 2011.  It is a series of 14 pieces from myself and Arizona artist Jerry Portelli. 

I have 12 of the 14 pieces completed. 

The first piece I attempted and completed for Psychomachia art show was called Gluttony, and I hated it (as I have mentioned before).  I have redone this piece over and over.  And, on the fourth try…I think I’ve got it. 

Thirteen down…Greed to go. 

I can’t reveal the whole piece until the show opens, but here’s just a taste.  Enjoy!
