Decorate These Walls With Toxic Women | Andrea Mary Marshall

These white walls here in the clubhouse 

need a little grace & vulgarity.

It was after  all the great Diana Vreeland who said,

"Never fear being vulgar, just boring"

I mean really the world isn't a picture perfect portrait of

white walls, clean windows, and sunshine. 

There are dirt tracks, dark smudges, and storm clouds everywhere.

I've got just the thing these walls need.

There.. That's Better!

The above piece was retrieved from 

Andrea Mary Marshall's 

latest solo exhibition

'TOXIC WOMEN'.

As I paid my daily visit to 

the land of all things artistic, stylish, & trendy

(Trendland.net)

a few days back, I'd come across something utterly riveting

a collection of pieces entitled 'Toxic Women' 

and I found the work to be SMASHING!

I was moved.

 It seems Andrea's main focus for this collection,

in my humblest opinion,

was the truth of character.

She brush stroked together a series of provocative portraits 

of herself in character 

and examined the details of today's version of an 

'Ideal Woman'.

The Pieces are racked with 

deep emotion, grim detailing, 

and heavy doses of candor.

In many of the pieces the women are fashionable dressed 

while standing amongst harsh realities 

with words of bitter truth that reveal the demons that lurk inside some of us.

It is definitely awe-inspiring work.

However, 

I must warn you now

 if you are deeply religious or take offense to vulgarity 

then this exhibit is all the more for you 

but you probably won't like it. 

However for those of you looking for an 

honest spin on idealism, beauty, and the dark accuracy of today's society

I urge you to check it out NOW!

I've brought some of Andrea's work back here to the clubhouse and I've hung it below
I implore you all to get over to this address
Toxicwomen.com
and visit the exhibit NOW!

Andrea's been quoted saying the following about women,

“A Woman is a beast. She is as lovely as she is repulsive. She is one part demon and one part goddess...one part slave, one part muse...one part child and one part mother...these contradictions are what make a woman so intoxicating.”
