Energy Blooms Multi-Dimensions: At Bleicher Golightly Gallery; Test Pilots II Show

Bleicher Golightly Gallery, Santa Monica: Test Pilots II; May 23 – June 14th;
Opening Saturday May 26 from 8-10 p.m.

“Energy Blooms Multi-Dimension” by Karrie Ross; 30×30; mixed media on canvas

Artwork chosen:  “Energy Blooms Multi-Dimension”; 30×30; mixed media on canvas to participate in the show.

The Test Pilots II Show will spotlight artists that are “crossing into new territory…different approaches and techniques than explored in the past”.

Energy Blooms is not a new series. Two Energy Bloom paintings have won awards at previous local and national shows. In the previous pieces the energy blooms were black paint and I added many spirals in pencil and no color to, so they were more of the monotone look/feel with the focus pointing to the pencil work to generate the vibration.

The new pieces of which “Multi-Dimension” is the one that will be spotlighted, explores the Energy Blooms in cream paint instead of black,  with a splash of color as the resulting “real-like” flower which replaces the previously added pencil spirals. The flower color, form of line, and more ‘silent-like’ surroundings are now becoming the instigator of the energy vibration in the artwork.

This series continues to explore my fascination with energy in and around us and both the personal/internal and external stimulations. The multi layering of these works are entwined with each other, the cream Energy Blooms represent the vibration of the felt but not seen energy and what it creates is the real world flower, though abstract in form, it exists with color and a different relatedness through vibration for the viewer.

This series also demonstrates the planting of seeds. The age old nudge, the hint of suggestion, the growth instigator by use of the green/yellow, gold and black & white dots along the Continue reading →

Have you ever wanted to Customize Your Breasts with a piece of Art? Well now is your chance to do it with a one-of-a-kind, Karrie Ross Bustier embellished just for you.

Customize Your Breasts with a Karrie Ross Bustier; 15w x 13h x 7d

Together we’ll create the imagery that represents the who you are… the external and internal visual and dialogue you will keep forever…OR… Gift it to a loved one for a special day. Either way, the you you are today will live on in this piece of custom artwork.

I’ll spend time with you in person or on the phone asking questions. We’ll review your feelings, passions, desires along with the colors and textures you like best. We can use clothing, fabrics, jewels, paint, pencil and more… along with a variety of different mediums to bring your custom bustier alive. Your personality will be exposed for the drama and dialogue for the back, which all comes from you…your experiences.

When I completed the first bustier in this series, I realized I had exposed a part of me that I hadn’t recognized before. Oh it wasn’t a deep dark secret, but it did open my eyes and I’ve grown a little more with each one that has been created after that. (I have about 15 bustiers already created which are for sale, and priced at around $950 each, if you decide not to commission your own. Please contact me for details.)
