Here are some of the fabs photographed at the Easter Paradeand Bonnet Festival on Fifth Avenue in NYC 2025.

I love the fun  everyone has, the joy, and the work that must have gone into these amusing, creative outfits, especially the bonnets, hers and his, on which so many must have spent hours and hours, probably days, concocting.    To see more photos, and all the photos bigger, go to my Facebook and Instagram pages, coming soon.

Selkie Angel @ NY Fashion Week SS2024

Photos: Helen Oppenheim

This Selkie Angel is from the Selkie whimsical fantasy fairytale New York Fashion Week Show for Spring/Summer 2024 at the St. Regis Hotel.  The show was inspired by the Cottingley Sisters, who convinced the world in 1917 that fairies must exist.

Creative Director and Designer Kimberly Gordon (@Selkie), who created a superspectacular show.  asked “Do You Believe?”  She does. And she transported everyone back in time to play dress up – “to embrace your inner child” with her cream puff dresses modernized with magic.

Feminine pretty hair was by Linh Nguyen for Cutler/Redken and the makeup by Lottie for Color Pop featured soft bow lips, a flush-like blush and a mole (not shown here).    To see 27 photos with the designer’s nostalgic fantasy fashions, CLICK HERE

Adam Lister Art @ Graphic Serendipity Show

Posted by on Jan 15, 2025 in Helen's Blog | 0 comments

Adam Lister "Lady with a Pikachu (acrylic on canvas 30 x 24")

Adam Lister “Lady with a Pikachu” 2024 (acrylic on canvas 30 x 24″)

This brilliant work of art is “Lady with a Pikachu” by Adam Lister.  It can be viewed at the “Graphic Serendipity” exhibition January 16 (through February 8th, 2025) at the GR Gallery, 255 Bowery, near Houston Street in NYC.

The exhibition features the artworks of three artists – Adam Lister, Gavin Lynch and Jiri Mayer  and takes inspiration from the “Cybernetic Serendipity” groundbreaking event in London, which was the first exhibition to demonstrate all aspects of computer-aided creative activity in 1968, then toured across the United States.  GR Gallery say this 2025 exhibition “focuses on the mechanical sense as a new manner in art, seeking to explore how digital sensibilities are integrated into contemporary painting through the unique perspectives of the three artists.”

Lister’s pixelated pop art paintings, inspired by recognizable famous paintings, are in the spirit of cubism.  Regarding the process for “Lady with a Pikachu” Lister says he  “first made a loose sketch of the original subject on the canvas, then I went through to breakdown the initial drawing through a sort of reductive process.  I draw over my first sketch, turning all curved and diagonal lines into horizontal or vertical lines.,  Then, I begin the painting process.  Using acrylic paint, I fill in one shape at a time, gradually building up the blocks of color.  With this piece, I painted the background first, then the figure of the Lady, then the Pikachu.  I sample the colors from the original subject, while also using a palette that slightly varies across the surface of each field.  For example the yellow of Pikachu is actually made up of different blocks of 4 different shades of yellow.”

This colorific Lister work of art can be viewed as a modern interpretation for today – and beyond.

(after “Lady with Ermine” by Leonardo da Vinci 1489)
