About the Item
Artist Comments
The background of the piece is an off-white color (Spanish white) and is house paint. The rest of the piece was done using oil paint. The background has a matte finish and only the oil paint is varnished. There is a build up of paint, and some texture, which can be seen in the photographs of it, especially around and within the orange circle. The three women at the top are painted from a vintage photo of the Motown group, The Ronettes.
About the Artist
Bigger is better. For Amber Dixon, the actions required to create large art are directly linked to the power of her pieces. She loves to create pieces that engulf the viewer. She draws inspiration from many feminists and performance artists of the 60s. To tell a story racked with emotion, Amber creates work with words and lines from her favorite books or songs.

- Bathed in the Spotlight, Oil PaintingBy Sumner CrenshawLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
"A confident Curly Girl struts across the stage, channeling her inner Betty Boop," Sumner explains. "She flashes a playful tattoo as she moves across the floor, pictured here as stripes of black and lemon yellow, while the limelight curves around her. She is all about putting the fun in femininity." This painting is part of Sumner's signature series of Curly Girls. These flowing, Art Nouveau-inspired characters represent transformation. Sumner always places the figure alone and in the middle of a personal story - in the middle of their transformation.About the Artist

- Garden of Earthly Delights, Pop & Fantastical Symbolism, Oil Painting on MetalBy THEDIRTYFABULOUSLocated in Dallas, TXTitle: Garden of Earthly Delights Artist: TheDirtyFabulous Media: Oil on metal with polyurethane varnish Size: 60 x 40 inches / 153 x 102cm Year created: 2012-2014 Societies have long employed images that visualize their belief systems or attempt to encapsulate a narrative of our human destiny. This work follows in that tradition. The uppermost vignette is a silhouette from the nursery rhyme “Jack be nimble”, a children’s rhyme that refers to a 19th century game and a form of fortune telling. In Roman mythology Parcae (plural) were the personifications of fate. They are used in this painting as bookend figures on either side of a cosmic machine that answers questions of fate. Three vintage light bulbs labeled “yes”, “maybe” and “no” sit atop the clock – like machine and illuminate answers to humanity’s eternal questions. At the top of the composition are several re- configured tarot / divination cards belonging to an anonymous person circa 1930’s. The cards here are labeled; satisfaction dark woman, jealousy, dark man and betrayal. The grouping of these four cards refers to both positive and negative potentials concerning fate and offer clues to the viewer on a number of possible scenarios it could describe. The lower portion of the picture contains two silhouetted vignettes on either side of a central image of stars and planets against a dark void. The left image is of two children in a small wagon being pulled by a beetle. This is a reference to Egyptian mythology and the sun god Khepri. who personifies birth / rebirth. Khepri is portrayed as a beetle that pushes the sun across the sky. Here the young innocents...Category
