Empowering Women Through Art: Gala Completes Dallas Artist’s New Collection

On the 23rd anniversary of Salvador Dalí’s death, Dallas artist Katie Glantz has completed her new collection with a portrait of the Spanish surrealist painter’s wife, Gala.

The Femme Historique Concatenation collection uses a monochromatic palette with strong images of influential women such as the iconic sex symbol Marilyn Monroe, jazz singer Billie Holiday, Hollywood movie star Rita Hayworth, American actress Carole Lombard, fashion supermodel Gia Carangi, comedian Lucille Ball, queen of pinups Bettie Page, and fashion icon Coco Chanel.

“I am always drawn to my latest work and particularly my last painting in the collection – Gala – which is an homage to Salvador Dalí,” says Glantz. “It’s the first painting in which I’ve used color. Surrealism has always fascinated me, and this is a transitional piece which shows who I am as an artist.

“The entire collection shows my growth as a woman and as an artist. Life brings so many challenges and we must face them head on to overcome obstacles. Art became my refuge during turbulent times, and each woman I painted became my subject, my guidance and light.”

The technique used to create these artworks give reference to Glantz’s extensive graphic design background. She uses acrylic paint in combination with lightly accented Swarovski crystals, and the power of black and white imagery and reflection of light gives the illusion the paintings are coming to life by interacting with your eye.

To achieve a perfect photographic appearance, Glantz paints with extremely tiny brushes to create crisp edges. Her skilled execution, from sketch to canvas, mixed black and white acrylic paints, and perfect placement of Swarovski crystals, has to be seen with the naked eye.

Katie Glantz sprung to prominence in 2011 when her three-panel painting of Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps drew praise from the athlete himself, who enthusiastically Tweeted his approval.
