uqbar. media art culture ~ARENA Exhibit

Opening Today at 1:00 pm SLT
January 31st - Feburary 2nd 2009

ARENA Cienega Soon

Saying emotion and feelings with art is like music to me. There is a flow of sound through out my work. Not sound effects but a beat from within. A little on the dark side and still light enough to find a connection.

Rancor is for me an important piece. It has a message beyond its dark rich color. Its trying to see an end to bitterness and the pain of betrayal. The over reaction of jealousy and the feeling of retaliation.

Here Rancor is a reminder that hate and un-forgiveness causes scars in both directions. The one holding the hate, and the one receiving it both stand bleeding.

Walk through Rancor ... there is a small moment of a break through when you walk into love. If you carry any un-forgiveness I hope you can see a bit better, maybe just release it and feel free for a moment.

Come see my carnival of displays playing to the pieces I've chosen. Some old mixed in with the new.

The complete
Juicy!

Sometimes all the plans you make, make a turn in a direction you weren't expecting, hoping for ... but not expecting.

Juicy is two galleries, the guest artist exhibit gallery, Juicy, and the main Castle Gallery, both now on the sim Misali. What a beautiful place.

Poison water, dark skys and my own home made castle.

A breath of fresh air. No clothing signs in the sky and no slingo shouts flooding the local chat.

Come see the grounds enjoy the mood of juicy. It may storm now and then as rain is always in my forcast. But be forwarned ... dont drink the water no matter how juicy you think it is ... its Poison, yumm my kind of poison. along with the mood music come chill.

You will find teleports throught the grounds to get around. They are somewhat hidden with a fern or two as to not spoil photos should you choose to shoot.

The Castle main Gallery has two floors. The main gallery will feature my newest works and the second floor matains the popular pieces that still please visiting collectors.

At the moment my Juicy Gallery is located on the sim but up at 500m. I am building its new location at ground level this week. Juicy Gallery is now exhibiting sabra Hemingways new works. She will be leaving at the end of the month. I look forward to seeing her work showing up in many galleries and in private collections across the grid.

Juicy Gallery will continue to be a place for New SL Artists to showcase their talents. I will be watching for exciting and intriguing new artists to invite to Juicy each month.

Thank you to all that visited my Castle Valeriya Artist Gallery over the last two years. I promise Juicy will be a place for visits and photos in a dark sort of friendly mood.(still a bit under construction, but open)

Come see... but dont dirnk the pretty water *evil grin*
