YOUR ART GALLERY CURATE

Art tells stories. These stories, visually told, help us make sense of the world, and expand our understanding of it. Art helps us imagine the unimaginable, and connects us to the past, present, the future ... and each other.

By telling its rich stories, art has the ability to transform space, elevating the setting’s ambiance to the level of sublime.

ARTIST SPECIFIC COLLECTIONS

The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing art, no matter well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. Kurt Vonnegut “ ”

ALLEN KOSOFF WATERCOLORS

Allen’s work is shaped by his architectural background. Using perspective, shades, shadows and the chaos of nature, he quickly captures scenes as sketches rather than detailed renderings. Each watercolor typically takes around two hours to complete –with few small details, no mixed medias, all transparent and loose!

“The human eye follows contrasts, so designs direct the eye to focal points.”

MARCO D’ABRAMO POP ART

Hailing from Italy, Marco is an illustrator, web and graphic designer. His work is upheld by three pillars – Simplicity: an authentic obsession, it is infinitely more difficult to be simple rather than complicated. Design: making complex ideas simple, not making simple ideas complex. and Communication: essentializing content to strengthen the value of the message conveyed.

MARCUS CEDERBERG MINIMALISM

Marcus is a Swedish minimalist photographer who heavily employs the use of color and negative space in his pictures. He regards being able to tell as much as possible, with as little as possible, the rewarding challenge with minimalism photography. Marcus tries not only to make the viewer somewhat curious but also often tries to tell a small story with the picture.

“We are all living in an era of distraction, everything goes faster and we are surrounded by a punishing drumbeat of constant input so why not take the opportunity to enjoy some calming moments.”

A good photograph is one that communicates a fact, touches the heart and leaves the viewer a changed person for having seen it. It is, in a word, effective. Irving Penn “ ”
