David Bromley "A Tribute to Marilyn" Prints Speaking of Marilyn, we also have these breathtaking mixed media giclees by Australian artist David Bromley.  These prints were created by Bromley as a tribute to Marilyn on her 90th birthday this past June. These works are a mix of Bromley's artistic talent and the original photographs taken of Marilyn Monroe. The process of making these intricate prints is through a series of media including painting, collage, and computer editing.  Bromley liked the idea of mixing old school medium like paint with a more contemporary medium like technology.

Salvador Dali Sculpture Exhibition in Beverly Hills

Salvador Dali Sculpture Exhibition on Two Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills

June 23, 2016 - September 26, 2016

Monumental Sculptures:

• Persistence of Memory: Dalinian time is not rigid, but rather fluid. The unexpected softness of the watch represents the psychological fact that speed of time, while precise in scientific use, is widely variable in human perception.
• Woman Aflame: ‘A woman’s mystery is her true beauty,’ as idealised with Dali’s use of the flames and drawers that convey the hidden intensity of unconscious desire and the mystery of hidden secrets.
• The Unicorn: The mythical creature, a symbol of purity. The sensual nature of the piece is created with the portrayal the unicorn as a phallic figure with the out-stretched woman at its hooves.
• Saint George and the Dragon: Saint George, guardian angel of Aragon and celebrated saint of chivalry in medieval Europe, battles against heresy and evil.

Museum Sculptures:

• Triumphant Elephant: Exemplifies every individual’s hope for abundance and good fortune in the future.
• Surrealist Warrior: Roman warrior representing all victories - real and ethereal, spiritual and physical.
• Horse Saddled with Time: ‘Man believes he is in control of the voyage, but it is time who is the ultimate rider.’ This famous Dalinian image of the horse saddled with Dalinian time, time that controls all of man’s passage.
• Triumphant Angel: The beautiful Dalian angel trumpets his divine music, wings spread, head thrown back, sending his jubilant message to all who will listen.
• Surrealist Piano: Dali animates the instrument into an animated and joyous musical piano that can dance with its legs from a woman as well as play.
• Snail and the Angel: A place in the Dalinian universe, intimately connected with the artist’s encounter with Sigmund Freud, who Dali regarded as his spiritual father.
• Dance of Time II: The fluidity and space of time is represented through constant movement and dancing in sync to the beat of the universe.
• Dance of Time I: Dalinian time is perpetual, “dancing on”, stopping for no man, history or the cosmos. The sculpture exemplifies Dali’s relationship with time, his perception of its constricting limitations and the importance he believed to be inherent in memory.
