<a href="http://bunnycutlet.com/exhibitions/2015/BunnycutletPresents7.html" target="_blank">Bunnycutlet</a> is back! Well, it never really left, this is the second show since the closing of the physical space on Roebling and it's definitely one to get excited about - showcasing 7 outstanding artists at the awesome and gracious <a href="http://www.thecottoncandymachine.com/events/" target="_blank">Cotton Candy Machine gallery</a> space. I'm a big fan of all the artists involved and and honored to be a part of it. Hope to see some of your faces there...<br />
<br />
Since I can't do full reveals until after the opening on FRIDAY - for a little pre-show treat I'm going to share some of my research, inspiration, sketches, and general making-of for this exhibit. You know, for all two of you who care about that sort of thing :)<br />
<br />
First, colors! <br />

I wanted to incorporate deep blue grey-winter skies,
silver, and mud with pops of a little sickly green and hot
cadmium red-orange. I desaturated these a bit for my color layout (below) because I wanted to do something more illusive and tonal for
this series and ended up with some very mirage-like imagery. Seriously,
in certain light, the images seem to disappear altogether. Sort
of like that disorientation that all-grey-all-day winter days can do to you...
My reference has more golden pops than I ended up using in my final
series but it was a great springboard.<br />

I wanted to incorporate some knit patters into the series. Some of the
research I came up with on this was awe-inspiring and it's certainly a
theme I'd like to revisit when I have more time. I ended up using
the knits patterns pretty sparingly in the end - you can see them in the
mud, on a spine, and then mostly it evolved into braided hair.<br />

For the small, 3 painting set I was inspired by the owl you see there in the reference below. His eyes look like windows into the cosmos O_O It was love at first sight. Ironic because apparently he is blind. I was taken with the idea of the blind predator and moved forward with that, incorporating a fox, a snake, and an owl. I chose the fox image below as reference because I felt the snow on the black of the ears looked like stars.<br />

Now, REJECTED! These poor little sketches never made it past the doodle stage. I still see potential in them though and who knows, maybe they'll turn up sometime down the road.... Oh yes, and that one little painting that just didn't quite fit in with the grouping so, it gets nixed! </div>

<a href="http://www.thecottoncandymachine.com/events/show/tiny-trifecta-2014" target="_blank">Tiny Trifecta</a> opened this past Saturday to great enthusiasm and success! Incredible turnout for astounding work from reknowned artists! YUP. So thrilled to have been a part of it. Most of you have probably seen my final images through my <a href="http://web.stagram.com/n/nopunchbacks/" target="_blank">instagram</a> account or other promotions so instead of just final images, I'm taking another stab at showing you guys some of the process of creation. The process here includes some reference I used, color mock-ups, tight sketches, and steb-by-step painting progress images. Hope you enjoy! ( My pieces are sold out but remaining pieces from the show become available online Tuesday June 17th - check it out! <a href="http://www.cottoncandymachine.com/">www.cottoncandymachine.com</a> )<br />

Fun with reference! Use the universe and web-i-verse to bring your concepts to life. I find that using reference allows me to take a simple idea and really flesh it out; give it new depth, meaning, texture, context. The idea is a seed, reference (or what I call <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/nopunchbacks/researchpiration/" target="_blank">"Researchpiration"</a>) is the Miracle Gro.<br />

Below are some images about my process of getting to this - color decisions, arrangements, and image placements. All play an integral part in how the paintings are viewed. The only way to see the work as it was intended is to attend the gallery exhibiting it, however, each piece is a self contained composition and therefore a stand-alone piece!</td></tr>

Below are some images I collected that contained the colors and tone that helped me to select my palette for the backgrounds you just saw. Sometimes it's the light I want to capture or the stark contrast of rich-to-muted tones. These images each had elements I wanted to apply. I wanted to work from really hot, hard colors to ethereal light and finally to cool and earthen. This is the order I used.</div>

More reference comes to life... I knew I was going to be using some oceanic and nautical themes in these pieces. Much of my reference came from searches on cephalopods, nautilus shells, barnacles, hot water oceanic vents, and an encyclopedia of knots, which was just such an amazing and fun tool to use.</div>

(Dec 3- Dec 8th) Thanks to the fabulous Liz of <a href="http://www.bunnycutlet.com/" target="_blank">Bunny Cutlet Gallery</a>, a number of my pieces were on exhibit at <a href="http://scope-art.com/shows/miami-beach-2013/about/" target="_blank">SCOPE</a> and I was able to attend the fair and work the booth while supporting the gallery and it's exhibiting other artists. Below are some images from the event, many images pilfered from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bunnycutlet-Gallery/191007320931962?rf=342673249168026" target="_blank">Bunny Cutlet Gallery's Facebook page</a> :P (go like <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bunnycutlet-Gallery/191007320931962?rf=342673249168026" target="_blank">their page</a> now!)<br />

<br />
The <a href="http://www.cluttermagazine.com/news/2013/12/clutter-gallerys-gift-wrapped-exhibition" target="_blank">show</a> opened December 14th to a blustery snow storm up in Beacon, NY. I like the idea of this show - small, affordable pieces by a number of different artists that you can purchase and carry out that night if you'd like. A perfect idea for holiday gift giving! One-of-a-kind gifts :) They even had custom wrapping paper (adorable!)<br />
<br />
Wrapping paper was part of my inspiration for my contributions to the show - ribbons, bows, and shiny gold! <br />

Oh yeah! I almost forgot - to other possibilities instead of the wood swing was a tire swing (SO cute but the item came too late) or a kite to be tangled in the tree and for him to dangle from. I made the kite with a wax and tissue decoupage . Both cute ideas I think but the swing won over through simplicity!<br />

Below are some color studies for the first sketch - I'm torn between more earthy colors vs more vibrant florals. I'm sure the piece itself will dictate the final colors but it's always good to have a starting point.<br />

These look super rainbow-esque but it's just because they are all together, I'm hoping for a much simpler result in the end. Also depends on the color choices for the second piece which I have also not decided on yet. It really is gonna be a lots-of-coffee-paint-sugar-and-no-sleep kinda week! </div>

This painting here is a favorite of mine (though scarcely mentioned by the folks at the show - I just never know what people are going to like!) It's called "Tangled Up in You" from the Chasing Rainbows exhibit at <a href="http://www.bunnycutlet.com/" target="_blank">Bunnycutlet Gallery.</a> The show opened on May 3rd with great success - lots of wonderful faces turned out and lots of my little orphan art babies found new homes <!--3--></div>
There are still some lovely pieces left :) For info on those visit <a href="http://www.Bunnycutlet.com/">www.Bunnycutlet.com</a> (I also made a small set on my <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kdenato/sets/72157633538744540/" target="_blank">flickr</a> )<br />

I had an amazing time creating this exhibit. My first solo exhibit, my first opportunity to delve into a theme and to develop a language to communicate it. I created somewhere around 50 unique pieces and what was really wonderful was that, even though at first I was very concerned about whether or not I'd be able to come up with enough work to really round-out a show on my own, but by the end, I was more concerned that I wouldn't have enough time to complete all the work I'd come up with! The more involved I got, the more there was to explore. It was already a concept near and dear to my heart and now that I feel I can effectively communicate it, I will be revisiting this theme and this imagery very soon. </div>

<br />
BROOKLYN, NY (RELEASE April 16th, 2013) — Bunnycutlet Gallery is pleased to present <em>Chasing Rainbows</em>, a series of new works by Brooklyn-based artist <strong>Kelly Denato</strong>, in what will be her first solo exhibition at Bunnycutlet.<br />
<br />
The title of the show, <em>Chasing Rainbows</em>, came to the artist’s
mind while sketching her flirtatious yet doom-laden subjects for her
solo exhibit. To Denato, the pursuit of a thing that dissipates upon
discovery is heart-crushing disappointment in waiting; yet she feels
that such futile and cyclical endeavors define the human condition. Her
paintings, which are marked by darkness as well as gleeful exuberance,
are emotional expressions of an elusive pursuit for meaning and the
simultaneity of ill-fated happiness.<br />
<br />
Denato’s painting technique is characterized by tiny brushwork
meticulously layered on a textured background. Her colors are glistening
and candy-like, often lifting her characters out of darkness as if they
have been carved by lacerating strokes. Her genius is her ability to
richly layer paint while still employing economy in her use of line,
maintaining an empathetic sense of gesture. Her characters are often
floating and tangled, drawn with a masterfully delicate illustrator's
hand and an eye for the whimsically sardonic.<br />
<br />
Denato’s process speaks to the surreal and fluctuating world that her
subjects inhabit. In the artist's words "Everything starts with drawing.
I will draw as often as possible in a ‘stream of consciousness.’ As
patterns, imagery, and symbols begin to emerge, a theme presents itself.
Like a Rorschach test of my own doodles, I interpret meaning from those
symbols. Then I develop from there, symbols feeding into meaning and
meaning into symbols in an infinite loop."

It's begun! I've started a painting based on one of the sketches I posted a few weeks back. It's a 26 X 30"Acrylic on wood panel. I don't normally work this large but there's so much going on in this drawing I thought I'd give it some wiggle room. Now these WIP shots are showing some REALLY early stages of the painting but hopefully you still get the idea. More to come <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #141414; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; line-height: 14px;">♥</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
Took a break from the hands series to work with some of my other brainstorm sketches for the show. I've been playing with the idea of "oozing geometry" - an extrusion, play-dough factory of your insides, both your physical and emotional guts. I still haven't committed to these visuals or colors to encompass the final works for the show but I find the more you draw and experiment, the more likely inspiration is to strike. The image below is an 8 x 10in mixed media on cream colored paper. I have drawings to accompany this image also - I'll post a few later tonight.<br />

<b><br /></b>
I'm revving up for my solo exhibit with <a href="http://www.bunnycutlet.com/" target="_blank">Bunny Cutlet's</a> new gallery space. This is <a href="http://www.bunnycutlet.com/" target="_blank">Bunny Cutlet's</a> first year with a permanent space and my first solo exhibit here in NYC. I'm pretty sure we are both very excited about this adventure!<br />
<br />
I'll be posting about this show over the next few months - sketches, work in progress shots, etc. For now I've just been brainstorming for themes and thematic imagery. I finally feel like I'm honing in on something cohesive and comprehensive and I'm gonna start sharing some of the sketches and ideas with you on here - wee!<br />

If you want a little insight on it - READ THE BOOKS. I am totally kidding. I based this on the first 3 books where we just get to know the twins - one sweet and wholesome, the other impulsive, selfish, and naughty. Jessica, the bad girl, is infatuated with a do-no-gooder spoiled rich boy named "Bruce". Oh the teen drama of it all. So what does any no-good girl do when she is desperately in love? That's right - get a TATTOO. Ribbons, roses, bows, and tiaras - oh my!</div>
