Anubis Reimagined: Abstract Figurative Painting, Mythological & Surreal Themes
By Michele Mikesell
Located in Dallas, TX
This captivating oil painting by Michele Mikesell is a striking fusion of abstract and figurative styles, masterfully crafted on a large 51 x 38-inch canvas (130 x 97 cm). Titled "Anubis Reimagined", this piece embodies an evocative exploration of mythological and surreal themes. The central figure, elongated and adorned with a crown-like element, exudes an enigmatic presence, reminiscent of ancient Egyptian deities merged with contemporary abstract expressionism. The muted gray-green background, punctuated by delicate marks and textures, serves as a minimalist stage that accentuates the vivid colors and layered details within the figure. Subtle strokes of bold yellows, reds, and blues blend seamlessly with the raw textures, creating a sense of depth and intrigue. This artwork invites viewers to interpret its narrative while showcasing Mikesell’s signature style—a harmonious balance of mystery, abstraction, and symbolism. Perfect for collectors and art enthusiasts seeking a bold yet contemplative centerpiece, this painting complements modern, eclectic, and minimal interiors alike. Its large-scale format and compelling design make it ideal for gallery walls, luxury residences, or professional spaces. MICHELE MIKESELL b. 1973, Alabama, USA In 2002, Michele Mikesell earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts with a minor in graphic design from Texas Women's University in Denton, TX.

Garden of Earthly Delights, Pop & Fantastical Symbolism, Oil Painting on Metal
By THEDIRTYFABULOUS
Located in Dallas, TX
Title: 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...
