Izzy, a charming characterful terrier stands alert, holding her ball in her mouth. Colour etching hand made and printed by the artist. Helen Fay's art for sale online and in our gallery at Wychwood Art. Animals have always been at the heart of my work. I find the form, movement and behaviour of the creatures I draw a source of limitless fascination. I love the idea of them watching me, watching them as I draw. I hope my appreciation of the sentience and character of the animals I draw comes across in my work. Over my career I have drawn everything from primates to penguins, dogs, ostriches and even an echidna. These days dogs are my main focus, mostly because I adore dogs but also because they are such an integral part of life. I am delighted by the theory that humans and dogs co evolved, we wouldn’t be what we are without them and vice versa. I try to pare my images down to a balanced simplicity that directs attention to the subject of the picture. I try to balance the subject and the space it occupies, giving each equal importance. Light is hugely important to my work, I imagine my subject in three dimensions as I draw and the light describes the musculature and texture that gives the drawing it’s presence and grounds it in the picture. I aim to capture a pause, a moment where whatever I draw looks like it could wander off or leap up any minute. My influences include Japanese prints, Chinese and Japanese brush drawing and the European artists who were influenced by Japan. I am really excited by composition, by artists like Bonnard and Leon Spilliaert. I have long been a fan of Munch for his direct mark-making, colour and intensity and at the other end of the spectrum, Hammershoi for his limited palette, sense of space and calm. I am interested in black and white photography and film and have recently discovered and been amazed by the films of Yasujiro Ozu...

Salvador Dali (Spain, 1904-1989) 'L’Elephant et le singe de Jupiter', 1974 Serie: Le Bestiaire de La Fontaine dry point, aquatint on japanese paper 22.9 x 30.8 in. (58 x 78 cm.) Edition of 250 Unframed ID: DAL2001-006 Hand-signed by author It appears reviewed in the catalog raisonné: The official catalog of the graphic works of Salvador Dalí. Albert Field. Page: 2/93. Nr. 74-1 B. ______________________________________________________ Salvador Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech was a Spanish painter, sculptor, engraver, set designer and writer of the 20th century. An artist associated with surrealism, he is one of the most important figures in 20th century art, representing the archetype of the spectacular contemporary multifaceted artist. He develops his creative activity in various fields through the most diverse cultural formulas: painting, written media, performing arts, cinema, or public appearances in the press, radio, cinema, advertising, television, etc. Master of the most refined pictorial technique, especially drawing, along with various aesthetic languages - from impressionism, cubism, purism or late ultraism with Dadaist edges to the most radical surrealism, hyperrealism, pop-art or art optical—, will absorb every influence that is useful to build its own and personal language, halfway between technical tradition and thematic avant-garde. His paranoid-critical method is his main contribution to the surrealist movement and to the history of art as a new creative model with which Dalí's theories acquire theoretical entity - thanks to the successive interpretations that the Empordà artist made of his readings of Dalí's work. Sigmund Freud—and practice, applying it as a revealing liquid of images that can be represented plastically through multiple images, anamorphisms, relational mirages, irrational and heterogeneous symbolic images, pseudohallucinations, childhood memories, atavisms, obsessive ideas, etc., and recreating a polyphonic method capable of critically relating any visual or sensitive experience. With his method, Dalí makes paranoid delirium a whole mode of expression of an art that introduces us to the concrete irrationality that inhabits every creative process, constructing not only his works, but also his own character. as an artist. In Dalí, the relationship between his work and his personal history becomes evident. Much of the most significant biographical facts for the artist are implicitly or explicitly present in the content of his work and are the explanation of his complex and contradictory personality. In 1910, at the age of 6, he was enrolled by his father in the Hispano-French school of the Immaculate Conception of Figueres, where he learned French, his future language of culture. Dalí's first contact with Impressionism occurred in 1916, when he spent some time on the outskirts of Figueres, specifically at the Molí de la Torre estate, property of the Pichot family (intellectuals and artists), where he was the collection of the painter Ramón Pichot. In 1919 he participated for the first time in a group exhibition in the halls of the Societat de Concerts, and with a group of friends from the institute founded the magazine Studium, in which he published his first writings. A year later he moved to Madrid to study at the School of Fine Arts. In 1922 he won his first prize at the Concurs-exposició d'obres d'art originals d'students, held at the Galeries Dalmau (Barcelona). This same year he attended the School of Painting, Sculpture and Engraving in Madrid (Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando), and lived in the Student Residence, where he became friends with prominent personalities such as Luis Buñuel, Federico García Lorca, Pedro Garfias , Eugenio Montes, or Pepín Bello. However, a year later he was expelled from the Academy for his rebellious and revolutionary character, accused of leading a protest. It would be in 1927 when his surrealist period began, after having traveled to the Netherlands and France, meeting Flemish painters and Picasso. In Paris itself, in 1929, through Joan Miró, he came into contact with a group of surrealists headed...
