Mandy Joy – Featured Artist – May 2016

Black And Blue  – About This Series… by Mandy Joy

While I paint, I very often listen to music and let my mind wander. Imagery sometimes floats through my head and inspires a painting or even an entire series. “Black And Blue” by Counting Crows is one of my favorite songs, despite the sad message, or perhaps because of the sad message. Duritz writes and sings of many hard and real situations in life. This one is about a girl, contemplating suicide, who then lies in bed next to him instead. The way the story is told throughout the song almost seems to me like it could have entirely been in his dream that this happened. Of course, those who have indeed lost someone to suicide also feel it must have been a dream. This provokes images in my head of the sometimes confusing line between reality and imagination, especially in life’s most deep and unbelievable situations, like when someone you know is truly suffering. These paintings – in black, white, and blue – show dreamlike scenes, memories, and peaceful images with meaning to me. In line with Counting Crows “One for sorrow, two for joy…” One is a memorial. Two have to do with strength, perseverance, and victory over hard times. Three are how I imagine “the other side” when someone is now at peace, either in life or in death. I have lost a grandfather I never knew to suicide, as well as classmates and friends when I was in my youth. I’ve experienced the confusion and the ripple effect of the aftermath, and after picturing them at peace, moved on. Feel free to ask me about any individual painting and what it means to me if you would like to know. I hope the gravity of the paintings adds a deeper layer of meaning to this than just the beauty, although if one would rather enjoy the painting only for its beauty or what it means to them, that is just as important. I believe that whatever brings happiness or serenity to one’s life, without taking from another, should be pursued.

Mandy Joy B and B“Black And Blue”

Fading everything to black and blue
You look a lot like you
Shatter in the blink of an eye
You keep sailing right on through
Every time you say you’re learning
You just look a lot like me
Pale under the blistering sky
White and red
Black and blue
You’ve been waiting a long time
You’ve been waiting a long time
To fall down on your knees
Cut your hands
Cut yourself until you bleed
Fall asleep next to me
Wait for everyone to go away
And in a dimly lit
room where you’ve got nothing to hide
Say your goodbyes
Tell yourself we’ll read
a note that says
I’m sorry everyone
I’m tired of feeling nothing goodbye
Wash your face
Dry your eyes
Cause you’ve been waiting a long time
You’ve been waiting a long long time
To fall down on your knees
Cut your hands
Cut yourself until you bleed
But fall asleep next to me
Have a dream I’m falling down
On my face
Scrape my knees
Scrape my hands until they bleed
Cause you’re fast asleep next to me
Next to me, next to me, next to me – Adam Duritz

First Friday, the 6th of May, will also be “No Diet Day” and “Tourist Appreciation Day”. Besides “Mothers Day, BBQ Day, Twilight Zone Day, Be A Millionaire Day” and all the rest of the “celebrations days” the first and ONLY Friday the 13th for the whole year in 2016, that being “Blame Someone Else Day”

Jana’s RedRoom wlll be featuring 4 artists that personify their creativity on their own terms.

mandy joy

Mandy Joy –works in many styles. Modern impressionism is what she enjoys the most and abstract art is also a great outlet for her. Mandy’s realism works will make you take a step back with their beauty and detail. She makes use of an exaggerated perspective in many of her paintings, especially on cars and landscape scenes. She works with high quality materials and enjoys working in bright colors. Every month she has a need to create in all three of these formats. She is always expanding her portfolio and takes commissions. Acrylics are her favorite medium, but she also works with spray paint, pen, colored pencil and in airbrush as well.

torin

 Annie Wildbear – is stepping up to the challenge and creating several brand new works for her first outing as a featured artist. These new works are a decided and conscious departure from Annie’s previous illustrative style, giving her a chance to explore more “painterly” techniques. Her art tells a story often depicting relatable images from pop culture as it relates to personal experiences with a bit of irony and humor thrown in.

jay ohh

Jay Ohh – has had his plate full as a tattoo artist, but his passion for wood working and creating 3D art has taken the Arts Factory by storm. When you hear a show will include Jay Ohh, you know you need to be there. His eye for color combinations can’t be matched. As a tattooer, his art form has permanence and most of his collectors show it everyday. A force in the 18b, always captivating, striving forward in all endeavors.

kat anderson

Kat Anderson – creates fascinating works using a visual, intuitive language expressing a perspective of the new age we are living in. Her abstract art seeks to break away from tradition as she explores the relationships of bold color combinations and steps outside the natural world into the language of abstract art. Each painting or collection has layers of meaning, individual value and personal appreciation for the viewer as well as the artist. “I want my art to be a joyful inspiration to others as it is to me”.
