Hidden Ridge Gallery - Latest Product Updates from Cassandra Barney

Angelina's Paradise

Thu, 10 May 2012 22:00:55 +0100

"At times I have had delusional ideas about surrounding myself with perfection and about how I defined paradise," explains Cassandra Barney. "I tried to picture what my paradise looked like. Is it a blissful garden where nothing ever happens? Does it smell like coconut and sound like trickling water and birds singing? Or is it something totally different. Maybe paradise is where I am; a place where the only thing at rest is my heart. It's a place where a lot is happening. Maybe it smells like dish soap as I clean the kitchen after dinner and sounds like raucous music, children discussing homework and my parrot who really wants out of his cage."

"'Angelina's Paradise' is not a place; it is how she chooses to perceive her surroundings. She has the wisdom to see Paradise about her. The idea is not all that different from my painting 'Be Where Your Feet Are.'"

Comfort

Sun, 06 Nov 2011 11:52:48 +0100

"Some paintings just flow off the end of your brush, others evolve over time. Comfort was one that took a while," Cassandra Barney explains. "My husband said that every time I worked on it I would repaint the whole thing and lose what was a beautiful painting in the process. I think that happens sometimes. You have to be willing to give up on something that is not quite there in the process of finding something better. The layers of color and luscious texture the painting has taken on are a result of that repainting process."

"That approach also gave the painting the time to evolve into a more pertinent reflection of the feeling I wanted to express about motherhood. We all want to be a source of strength when it comes to caring for and protecting our children and at the same time we have that time need to be loved and protected as well. It's about giving comfort and the comfort you receive in return. In providing comfort to my little lambs, I receive the same in return."

Cassandra Barney's distinctive style and voice are an exceptional blend of contemporary vision and sincere values. Comfort, like its sister work Mary Magdalene, stands out for not only the extraordinary beauty of its execution but for the warmth of its message.

This Greenwich Workshop Fine Art Canvas Edition is available in a gallery-wrap format, which makes it suitable for display without the need for additional framing! There is normally an additional charge of $30 for this service, but Hidden Ridge Gallery is offering this option for free.

Ex Votos

Tue, 31 Aug 2010 22:47:15 +0100

Life is an ongoing series of miracles. Everyone has something to be thankful for or someone they should be saying "Thank You" to. Prayers, large and small, are answered daily, often without our recognition.

Ex voto is Spanish for votive offering. Ex votos are paintings offered to a deity or saint as a thank you for an answered prayer, or, as a form of prayer. Traditionally, the ex voto is signed by the petitioner, dated and explains why the giver is giving thanks. In many cases, they tell a very touching personal story. The personal nature of these stories is what makes them so fascinating.

"These little artworks are painted out of gratitude for the miracles, protection and prayers answered not only in my life, but in what is common to so many of us," says Cassandra Barney. "In conceiving these paintings, it didn't seem that I was illustrating ideas, but sharing and exchanging them."

Each ex voto celebrates the exceptional nature of the common and the uncommon: friendship, love, life, family and self. This collection is styled with the look of the Mexican tin-paneled works and designed to be hung in groupings. As gifts, they are the perfect message at the perfect time. Life is full of blessings and Cassandra Barney's Ex Votos give us the opportunity to share our recognition of this with beauty and grace.

Etta

Sat, 06 Feb 2010 21:29:34 +0100

Cassandra Barney evokes the emotions of the viewer through her frank, compelling portraits of the "muses" of our daily lives, with their soft, gentle eloquence and mysterious beauty.

Courting Pandora, Barney's recent show of original paintings, was based on the female archetype of Pandora who, according to legend, could not resist opening a mysterious box which unleashed evil on earth (but also contained "hope"). "I don't feel that Pandora was tricked into, or was naively curious about opening that box," says Barney. "Remember, she was the culmination of all the gods' gifts to man and not just some passive beauty. I think she intentionally brought the balance of good and evil into the world.

The elusive butterflies that flutter about Pandora, Etta and Ramona whisper of the women's passions, hopes and fears, inviting you into their intimate reflections. Displayed on their own, or combined with Cassandra's other works, these distinctive gems capture the simple eloquence of life's many moods.

Christianna

Sat, 06 Feb 2010 18:51:23 +0100

"My portraits may not always feature the outwardly pretty or majestic, but they all share a quiet beauty that asks us to listen and to feel. My women find strength in their femininity. They are beautiful and strong, because of the complexity of their feminine nature. My work reflects my personal narrative, yet my intent as an artist is to create an experience that will allow the viewers to bring new interpretations to the symbols, creating their own narrative and own sense of understanding and place." - Cassandra Barney
