Hello out there!

I am going to continue the tradition of writing one Art Blog posts each month.

Storytelling concept of our gallery means that we are getting to know the artist's creative background, and it is a process that unfolds. We hope you enjoy unraveling artists' stories as much as we do. Have you taken a break for lunch to read our Art Blog yet? We hope so, and we encourage you to stick around and see it all grow by signing up for our Art Blog! It is not only a way to show appreciation towards the artists and the gallery, but it is also a fun quick read for those spare 5 minutes we all have throughout the day, whether at the dentist or waiting for your car to get washed!

It is easy to come up with some casual descriptive gibberish as you are looking at something for the first time, but I find it especially interesting to be able to form a holistic understanding of the artist and their work once you have seen all their paintings or sculptures.

Most contemporary artists have come a long way, not just metaphorically. If it´s large oil paintings or compact sculptures, they convey a message that is waiting for the audience to be interpreted. But only if the observer has had similar life experiences he can relato to its art. It is the complexity and simplicity of the global, unified, yet diverse and colorful world we live in. You can book your ocean cottage in the Maldives from the comfort of your Western home with just a few clicks. Choose an all-inclusive package with embroidered towels in a world that seems to have a different "time zone." Fly over, complain about the socket compatibility, take a few holiday pictures to make your office colleagues jealous, then fly back and return to your brain-draining corporate job as if the Maldives didn't exist. Do you feel it now?

You must be present. Stand in front of those large canvases and breathe in the story. The colors, composition, and energy are all there, but the essential part must be within you. There is no shortcut for this. You have to have experienced it to understand.

Our artists and sculptors will transport you to the crossroads of two movies: you will feel like you're in the middle of the story of Danny Boyle's "The Beach," and then you will be swiftly transferred to the mind-boggling world of Robert Lepage's "Possible Worlds." The art of our artists is powerful. You cannot explain the things happening on the canvas unless you have lived it. That is a significant aspect of art that cannot be put into words. You have to have experienced it.
