A Blind Eye by Lisa L Cyr

The inside art is 6″ x 4″ and is a mixed-media painting on paper. It was featured in: A Greener Earth Exhibition (Society of Illustrators in NYC). It comes in a custom-painted mat with relief accents and is housed in a black metal frame sized at 11″ x 14″.

Below the featured art is prose that I wrote specifically for the exhibition:

A Blind Eye

“The storm is building and we must see beyond the mirage of profit, power and greed that has taken over our consciousness. There will be a reckoning and we can no longer turn a blind eye to the ongoing global destruction that continues to devastate the land, air and water.

We must unleash the chains that bind and go boldly into the raging storm. This is our moment to rise, heeding the call to change. It is the dawn of a new day, awaken anew.”

Lisa Cyr

The visually-compelling, imaginative works of artist and author Lisa L. Cyr use symbolism, metaphor and allegory to stimulate curiosity, provoke thought and encourage further inspection. A poetic, rhythmic synthesis of drawing, painting, collage and assemblage, Cyr's visually tactile, mixed-media works are composed to collectively create a new reality with a more expressive and symbolic arrangement, transforming the ordinary to the extraordinary.

In Cyr’s world of the fantastic, the viewer is shown a portal into a highly imaginative, mystical realm where supernatural beings, winged guardians and underworld deities coalesce in magical, multilayered environments and dreamscapes. Within the artist’s personal narration, visual tales of quests to worlds unknown evoke transcendental experiences for those who are willing to enter into the pictorial drama. Through the multilayered narrative, we journey to a world beyond, where the awakened subconscious leaves the viewer spellbound and wanting more.

A graduate from The Massachusetts College of Art (BFA) and Syracuse University (MA), Cyr's artistic oeuvre has been exhibited in museums and galleries, including traveling shows with the Society of Illustrators of New York and Los Angeles. Her work has been featured in magazines, books and online, including numerous features in Spectrum: The Best in Contemporary Fantastic Art, Infected by Art, AcrylicWorks: The Best in Acrylic Painting and Incite: The Best in Mixed Media. Her work is included in the permanent collection of the Museum of American Illustration in New York City as well as in private collections.
