Details About Artist Bio Shipping 8 x 10 inches © 2013 Mixed Media Framed to 11 x 15 inches Modern Eden Gallery is pleased to present ‘Mona’, an international group exhibition feat uring contemporary adaptations of Da Vinci’s masterpiece, “Mona Lisa”. The Mona Lisa has been acclaimed as "the best known, the most visited, the most written about, the most sung about, the most parodied work of art in the world." In this exhibition contemporary artists from all over the world are taking on that tradition and re-creating the well-known masterpiece with their own artistic variations. My mixed media assemblage work has evolved from a background equally routed in jewelry and metalsmithing, costume design, and a love for Gothic architecture, flea markets, and rock'n roll. Using a wide range of materials, including animal bones, cat claws, shark's teeth, doll parts, leather, fabric, wood, metal, vintage jewelry and various found objects, I strive to create a world that illustrates the beauty of the dark side. Giving new life to that which has been discarded, the transformed materials create altar-like forms that speak of innocence, loss, life, death, decay, and the dusty, shimmery shadows that are sometimes left behind. ~Wendy Gadzuk This piece will be on exhibit through August 9, 2013 and will be shipped within a week of the exhibition closing date.
