AKG Newsworthy NOLA #5

Five months into an experience unlike any other, it feels like there is a light out in the distance.  There are many reasons not to stay in worry or fear. Change is in the air.  From vaccine progress to people uniting in friendship and solidarity. We are all coming together in new and creative ways. The environment is getting a break. We've recognized teachers, health care workers, sanitation and essential workers for the heroes that they are. We've rediscovered our love for old hobbies.
We have time to read and educate ourselves. Social unrest is forcing activism. Out of activism comes changes for the better. People are finding ways to bring out the best in ourselves and our communities, resisting misinformation and divisiveness.

After the flood from Katrina, we never again expected to be in the throes of a disaster of this magnitude, but with the support of you, our collectors, we made it through then and we will, once again.
We are all going in the right direction;
we know how to slow the spread.  Respect.

Much gratitude and hope for the future,

A. King

STEVEN KENNY
The Prince 2004 36” x 24” Oil on Linen
"The Prince was done as a part of a group show in Denmark honoring the life and death of Hans Christian Anderson. This piece is based on his story The Wild Swans. It gave me the great opportunity to once again use natural, and bird imagery combined with the human figure, which is another main theme running throughout my work."

Halle 52” x 45” Acrylic on Canvas
"I put that blue on the dark side of the face, a triangle of light, Rembrandt lighting. I started doing what I call the Matisse effect, mixing bright colors in the face, he really shook up the world when he stared doing that. It makes the paintings more powerful, they really stand out."

- Andy Baird
 If the zodiac is a music of the spheres, opening the way to “Know yourself and you will know the universe and its Gods” ,then the score written by Anne Bachelier invites you to this path of meditation. This royalty goes back to the dawn of time and manifests the laws of cosmic wisdom.
