Amy Sol in Juxtapoz

Juxtapoz interviewed the fantastic artist Amy Sol, whose first solo show--"The Most Blissful Sorrow"--is up for a few more days at the Aidan Savoy Gallery in New York City. (Seen here is "Cloverine Slumber.") In early fall, Sol will be showing at Seattle's magnificent Roq La Rue gallery. From Juxtapoz:

My emotions [are] a combination of extremes. I feel sadness and guilt for things that I've done." Sorrow. "Then there is this other side to life that is full of truly magical things and a hope that we humans are evolving in a positive way." Bliss. Her images tell the stories of a young girl and her animal companions. "People who are close with animals know that they are incredibly responsive, sentient beings. I can't think of a better companion. A painting doesn't feel complete without them."
