May '06 - New Artists in the Gallery!

May is always a glorious month, and this month has been fabulous. The weather is improving and more people are coming out to enjoy the warm summer evenings and the delight of the old town of Altea. The Gallery has received more visitors and the comments have been wonderful ‘This Gallery is exactly what Altea needs, serious art’. ‘Exquisite, Beautiful, Stunning’ to name just a few of the comments written in the guest book. Sales have also been astounding as more people are becoming aware of The Gallery and the art and artists that it represents and the dedication to finding the right piece of art work for the client.

The Fusion Gallery has taken on four new artists this month:

Eva Navarro, a Spanish artist living in Madrid. Her recent work focuses on the human figure in an abstract environment, showing people in colourful theatrical sceneries. The people themselves are painted with a sharp realism, and often appear isolated. The figures are washed in sun, casting shadows across the canvas and stand in seas of extraordinary colour.

TJ Miles, an Irish artist living in Torrevieja. TJ tends not to have figures in his paintings as he prefers to offer uncluttered landscapes into which the viewer may place themselves

Janne M Greibeskand a Norwegian artist living in Rome. In some of Janne’s works she reduces the distance between painting and sculpture, establishing a close relation with the textural quality characteristic of contemporary art, to the point that the work appears to venture beyond its frame

Darren Baker a British artist and he is one of the country's leading painters within the classical realism genre. After graduation he has striven to perfect his technique and vision inspired by several Old masters and contemporary realist painters.

We are planning an exhibition of paintings of two of TFG’s local artists Luis Frutos and Eric Zilverberg in the next month

Also this month, Pip and I have both celebrated our birthdays, Pip on the 18th and I on the 19th, we are very happy to receive belated birthday cards, flowers or presents!!!

We hope to welcome you at the gallery soon, with or without gifts!
