Magic World in Fractals by Suzanne Chouinard - First Solo Exhibition ar deArte Gallery

We have a great pleasure to inform you that we started solo exhibitions at deArte Gallery. First artist to present her stunning fractal compositions is Suzanne Chouinard. Read what the artist herself says about her new works.

Doing fractal art is my way of working with abstract forms. Yes the road to learn that craft has been difficult because I had to struggle to find all the informations necessary to study it. They are not easy to find as there are no books made for teaching how to do this kind of art. All the information available is scattered in bits and pieces on internet and it take hours of work to collect them and learn them. But the shapes and lights it creates are enchanting and always a source of wonder to me when I see them taking life. The greatest part of the work is done by the software I use. I could not imagine them alone.
Now my next goal is to try to reproduce them in painting. That would be a great achievement for me if I achieved this. But there are so many things I try in art that I did not managed yet to work on them. There are not enough hours in a day to do all I would like to do in art.

New Artists On deArte Gallery

Despite the fact that season is getting warmer and most of creative people, nature artists in particular, spend more time outdoors taking advantage of holidays, workshops or just ability to shot rare plants, animals, etc, our gallery has recently joined two more artists. They both, Larry Ricker and Marta Grabska-Press represent two generations of artists from regions that are poles apart.

Marta is a young Polish self-taught photographer, whereas Larry comes from the USA. Their works show different faces of nature. Larry's landscape is full of space. Watching his works, you can see and feel vast streches of space so typical of the United States, even if it is only a bird's portrait. While Marta's focus is on detail and mood. Her landscapes perfectly invisible a modest nature of the Polish countryside.

For true nature lovers there is no boundaries. Thanks to them both and to other deArte Gallery artists you may take a virtual trip round the world in less than 80 days:)

Crocuses, a photo by James K Wright

Memories Remain - a story behind the photo

This is a composite of two photographs. The scene is from last spring when my husband and I were out driving in southern Illiniois. It began as an overcast day, but quickly, the clouds began to look ominous. I was taking shots of this old house out in the middle of nowhere surrounded by only flatlands when the winds re...ally began to blow hard. I quickly returned to the car and when we turned on the radio to see if there were any storm warinings out, sure enough, we found that we were in the same county that was in the middle of a tornado warning! Thank goodness, it was more in the upper portion of the county, but it sure was scary there for a while. We drove south and eventually ran out of the stormy area.

I had the idea of placing the face of my portrait of Tom McCorkle in the clouds so that it might convey to the viewer the idea that the former occupant's spirits can many times be felt if you are open to it while you explore around or in these old abandoned relics. The memories don't die...they are left there forever.

"A World Of Quietness" by Marie Ancolie Romanet

"The World Of Quietness" by Marie Ancolie Romanet

In the world full of violence, dramatic events and lost hopes, there are people of unique sensivity, delicate, yet strong with the power that only beautiful souls know. One of such people is our artist, French photographer, Marie Ancolie Romanet. deArte Gallery has an honour to show and promote her works. Marie's art has a special quality of soothing minds, bringing peace. Her stunning photographs are of great artistic value. Marie has also published a book, "The Light Of Soul" and three films on You Tube.

Julie Dant has joined deArte Gallery

One of the artists who has recently joined the gallery is American photographer Julie Dant. Her magnificient photographies show the artist's great passion for nature and love for people. Julie sees beauty in ordinary things, in every moment of life. She captures the essence of reality, whether it is an old man portrait, old barn or a child's play. Looking at her works, it seems that time stopped. There is some eternal beauty and peace in these photographs. Nobody can pass by her works untouched by true, deep feeling Julie's works evoke.

A Photo by Angel Tarantella Ciesniarska

This photo by Angel has been chosen as a logo for our Spring Theme exhibition. It perfectly depicts everything that is associated with the season, the green, the light, fresh and clear colours,  and slightly light-hearted mood it evokes.
The works sent by our artists so far, are all beautiful, inspiring and showing great love to mother nature. At the same time, they show a deep concern for preserving nature's treasures that people often carelessly spoil. The exhibition is our call for everyone to consider their behaviour.

Rafał Antas - Polish photographer

I am happy to announce that first Antas named person joined deArte Gallery. I have found Rafał on the Internet, while looking for a domain name for my personal website. To my surprise www.antas.com.pl domain was not available. But my surprise was much bigger when I discovered that it is the website of a person, like me, taking photography. Rafał is a young generation artist, living in the UK for several years. His works are very stylish and they show his great passion to the chosen theme. You are invited to visit his Art Photo Gallery.

We want to show another face of beauty in fine art photography.
