A range of sizes of Cy de Groat's collage/acrylics works on display
and for sale. Her art has adorned the walls of The Octopus Literary
Salon since day 1. Cy de Groat is an artist living in San Francisco
and working in paper collage and acrylic. Over the last several years,
in addition to several solo shows in nearby Pacifica, CA, Cy
contributed artwork to local quarterly magazine, Meatpaper, until its
final issue in 2013. Cy recently completed three large pieces for The
Oakland Octopus Literary Salon, a performance space and café in
Oakland, CA. The subject matter of Cy's pieces could be characterized
as psychological landscape, though often of an interior sort that may
sometimes look more like a machine or a system. Using words and
figurative elements in combination with evocative color, Cy seeks to
portray the thinking that goes into making sense of the world while
striving to be a better human. Words are used to unearth the mantras
and aphorisms we concoct and the contradictions we accept to make our
way through life.
