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 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.
