Art Can Mimic Life
by Penny Evens
Art can mimic life, or it can mock it. It can also reinterpret it in whatever way the artist chooses to portray. My choice is to escape the reality and explore the emotions of people and life; i.e., "humaniques".
Humans that express emotion: sad, confused, joyful, mixed up, sexy....does not matter. I take it to the edge to get the message across. My humans are not ordinary. They are enlarged and enhanced to make even those who don't understand it......understand expression and emotion.
I feel art should not be photogenic-like, but from the heart and mind, how one feels and wants to show others how I think emotions feel. |

Put a little color in your life, music in your soul and words in your heart.
Support your local artists and visit an art gallery today, or attend a concert of your favorite musicians, or purchase a book of your favorite author or poet.
We need them all in our lives or our world would be without color, without rhythm and without beautiful words to speak. |
