7 Deadly Sins Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Enrico Santana Glendale, California Seven Deadly Sins Mixed Media Artist Statement I walk among transgressions through the valley of death, With darkened skies that kiss the fires of hell. My wearied spirit endures the shadows that lurk Of hideous ghosts and men that beg to dwell. I am an expressionist.  My process has always been less deliberate than spontaneous.  I try to convey my thoughts and emotions through quick, random strokes– careless even– because my art, regardless of medium, aims to be not merely visual, but more so, emotional.

7 Deadly Sins Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Elyse Weidner Oakland, California Seven Deadly Sins Wall Sculpture Artist Statement I am continuously drawn to working with neon—exploring and using neon tubing in art, and also learning to sculpt glass into creative and colorful forms.  I heat glass tubing, bending it to form a shape, and then fill the tubes with noble gases that will glow when exposed to electricity. There is nothing I enjoy more than making something from scratch and then lighting it up. While researching, I came across a web post of a cancer sufferer. Among the comments was a message fromRead More →

7 Deadly Sins Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Sarah Mccormick Fayetteville, Arkansas The Rebellion of Man Oil Painting Artist Statement Light controls the way we see the world around us. This becomes a perfect illustration for the “light” referred to in the gospel of Jesus who died to give humanity a new light of truth. In this series titled Redemption, I explored viewing my own reflection using harsh lighting looking through different colors of sheer fabric representing different states of heart. In The Rebellion of Man, the figure is seen through black sheer fabric. The expression is arrogant and there is no hint ofRead More →

7 Deadly Sins Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Sarah Mccormick Fayetteville, Arkansas The Blood of the Son Oil Painting Artist Statement The Blood of the Son. Through the blood shed by Christ for the soul of the figure the tones of the skin change in the shifting planes of the face. The red sheer takes over the color spectrum and leaves no shade untouched. The expression has changed to one shame stricken and almost pained by the touch of the light to the skin. The outlook on the world has changed in view of the ultimate sacrifice made for the figure. The views expressed byRead More →

7 Deadly Sins Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Pabi Chulo San Francisco, California The Getty Getaway Oil Painting Artist Statement The Getty Museum is built by the Getty Trust founded by the oil mogul J. Paul Getty. It is a “public secret” that the Getty empire every year saves a lot of tax money they instead spend on the art world. With an endowment of $4.2 billion, the Getty Trust is the most wealthy art institution in the World. From a democratic point of view I find this spectacular, but is it a sin? The painting shows the Getty Museum blown up or rippedRead More →

7 Deadly Sins Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Troy Young Alburtis, Pennsylvania Saligia Oil Painting Artist Statement I personally do not believe in the idea of sin, but I have approached this painting from the point of view of someone who does. My intent was to show a scene from purgatory where the guilty soul is confronted with archetypes of its sin. The title of the work, “Saligia,” is a mnemonic word in Latin for the seven deadly sins.  In this painting a dead monk finds himself in a Christian nether world. He pitifully tries to shield his eyes from the scenes around him. TheRead More →

7 Deadly Sins Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Pablo Pinta Salado, Texas The Architect Of Pleasure Acrylic Painting Artist Statement The color Red expresses emotional, physical sensuality and shows the human gluttonous tendency to release intense rage and desire simultaneously through sexual acts. Blue on the model’s right breast depicts emotional moderation and the ability to conquer fantasy.  The duality of the human spirit of love and the physical lust of the body are portrayed through “The Architect of Pleasure”.

7 Deadly Sins Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Pablo Pinta Salado, Texas But My Heart Belongs To Daddy Acrylic Painting Artist Statement “7 Deadly Sins”, gave me an opportunity to reflect on my 73 years. Out of the Seven sins, the one that I committed in the eyes of the Church is lust; it isn’t my fault I love beautiful women.  By incorporating QR codes I can create a narrative with the viewer.  Scan the code to find out her sexual philosophy.

7 Deadly Sins Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Nicholas Coroneos Santa Barbara, California Wrath Wall Sculpture Artist Statement In my current work, personal and societally challenging issues are brought to new light by creating a visual play on words.  Inspired by the neo-dada movement and peppered with off-beat humor, the pieces range from light-hearted prodding to socially shocking.  My intent is that each piece becomes a character who challenges ideas and pre-conceptions and entices dialogue within and between viewers.

7 Deadly Sins Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Jill Pajka Dayton, Ohio Covet Trap Mixed Media Artist Statement I’m interested in imprints, in the touches and shadows and pieces affected by a combination of change, abuse, and constant contact. My work reconstitutes the forgotten, the assumed to be broken, and the hidden away in order to create a new sense of purpose and meaning past what they used to be. The work grows from itself, becoming something able to stand for itself once again.

7 Deadly Sins Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Michael Allyn Roy Pasadena, California River Nymph Oil Painting Artist Statement My recent paintings bring together images of mythical figures  in the form of a family album; they posit and map a path between Classical Greek mythology and contemporary characters found in everyday snapshots. The quotidian images in snapshots open a door to the metaphysical. It’s a small step to imagine one’s quarrelsome parents as Hera and Zeus or to imagine the graceful girl as a magical river nymph. The surface of my paintings is like the frosting on a cake, inviting and luxurious. It embodiesRead More →

7 Deadly Sins Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Sarah Mccormick Fayetteville, Arkansas, USA The Grace of the Father Oil Painting Artist Statement The final piece is subtitled The Grace of the Father. The expression of the figure has changed to one of worship upturned and open letting the light know the form. The figure is viewed through a white sheer fabric representing a redeemed heart washed clean. The light is magnified through the white fabric as the figure accepts the new light and desires to reflect it on the world.

Gómez-Ros Madrid, Spain Caelum novum et terram novam Fine Art Photography Artist Statement “Et  vidi caelum novum et terram novam primum enim caelum et prima terra abiit et mare iam non est” (Ap 21, 1). A new earth and a new heaven beyond sin and expiation… Apocalypse of St. John has been one of my favourite readings since I was a child because of the powerful and frightening images invoked by their words.

7 Deadly Sins Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Fab Rideti Mercer Island, Washington, USA Mirrors of the Soul – Gluttony Fine Art Photography Artist Statement I have a passion for the Human Being, with all his weaknesses, always finding pleasure in revealing its complexity though richness. This photo attempts to express the duplicity that resides in each of us. It offers several views, like reflections on multi-facetted mirrors: the first view features the ideal family, the other one what we can be, when we reveal our souls behind closed doors. I present these contrasting views with humor to create the disconnect between the EdenicRead More →
