Tuesday 13th September 2011Pop Art Legend - Richard Hamilton - Has Died at 89

Richard Hamilton was undoubtedly one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. His most notable position perhaps being that of the leader of the first wave of Pop Art, which spring up in Britain in the 1950's before spreading, and taking on a new lease of life with the likes of Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein in the US.
 
Sadly, Hamilton has died, aged 89. 
 
In 1956, Hamilton created what is now an iconic work of art; his collage entitled Just What is it that Makes Today's Homes So Different, So Appealing?. This work made waves as a modern comment on consumer society and Capitalism in all of its gaudy glory. This iconic work said everything that was to be said about Pop culture, and became a starting point from which other Pop Art heros would emerge. 
 
When Hamilton created this Pop collage, he was living amidst the aftermath of World War II in Britain. The economic slump and austerity measures that were bearing down on the British public often meant that his Pop imagery was more of a Pop dream than a reality.  It was a utopian ideal where everything was big, shiny, smooth and beautiful. 
 
Richard Hamilton was a thoughtful, provocative and experimental artist who drove new ideas through the art market, and who has perhaps not been given enough credit as a leading figure of British art. 
 
As was poignantly said by Jonathan Jones in The Guardian today:  "Richard Hamilton saw our future coming: He even designed a computer as a readymade artwork in the early days of digital. He saw and accepted the way technology changes the human condition. Yet he cared about, and fought for, the human ghost in the machine. That is what makes him a great artist."

Friday 09th September 2011Learning to Appreciate the Art of Printmaking

Prints and printmaking can by something of a mystery, especially to those new to the medium, and to buyers and collectors of fine art. Often, the mistake is made in thinking of prints as simple copies of paintings, or second rate works of art, but this is far from the truth. 
 
 
Original prints are, in themselves, a rich and varied medium where artists and printmakers have put a great deal of time, effort and technical know-how into creating works of art that are unique (yes, unique!), tactile and rich in subject matter. 
 
Gallereo is going to be showing at the NewcastleGateshead Art Fair at the end of this month, and we were glad to hear that, in conjunction with the Contemporary Art Society, they are going to deliver a programme of talks and discussions based on a theme of "Collecting Prints and Editions". Especially as we have a number of printmakers on show this year, including Marion Kui and Ben Quail, as well as having some prints from Dutch artist Hans Meertens.  
 
 
The Contemporary Art Society and the NG Art Fair hope to raise awareness of prints as a collectable medium and as a way for beginners to start to build a notable collection on a smaller budget, given that prints are generally more conservatively priced than paintings. 
 
A big part of the talks will be to reduce the stigma placed upon prints that puts them as second rate to paintings or sculptures. The art fair press on the matter makes a great point that prints often do play a part in an artists career at some point as they seek to express themselves, but also that some artists have built an entire career out of printmaking. Notable names on that list would include Bridget Riley, Richard Hamilton, Damien Hirst, Grayson Perry and of course, Andy Warhol. 
 
 
As well as looking at the collecting side of things, there will also be talks that focus on the different types of print that you might come across such as linocuts, etchings, and screen prints. Each type of print has its own identifying qualities and make the world of printmaking hugely varied. 
 
If you're interested in prints, or want to find out more, the NewcastleGateshead Art Fair is providing a good opportunity to get involved, and even add to your collection.
 
We're going to be at stand P4 where you'll be able to see a selection of etchings, linocuts and screen prints, and (if you're there on Thursday 29th) you'll be able to speak to the printmakers themselves.

Saturday 03rd September 2011New Works Exclusive to Gallereo for the NewcastleGateshead Art Fair

With only 3 and half weeks left to go before the NewcastleGateshead Art Fair takes place at The Sage Gateshead, we are working hard to get everything ready for what will be Gallereo's official exhibition debut. 
 
Every week we are collecting new artworks for the fair as we finalise things with the artists that we are working with for the event. 
 
This past couple of weeks have been very exciting for us as we have received and framed 3 new works from Dutch artist, Hans Meertens, and 2 new works from British artist, Nigel Painting. 
 
Hans Meertens has shown in galleries all around the world, seeing success in places such as Amsterdam, Berlin and New York. As a young Dutch artist, he is still making terrific strides in his career, having this year been included in Art Paris and Art Chicago, as well as getting ready for new shows later in the year in Denmark and New York.
 
The NewcastleGateshead Art Fair will mark the first exhibition of Hans' work in the UK, and for the occasion, he has created 3 brand new works. 
 
 
Watch Dogs: Noble Rescue I, II, III are mixed media works on card that are typical of Hans' graphic style. Linked to the comic book super hero, but steeped in criticism of modern society, these works have a strong message, as well as a strong visual appeal. 
 
Nigel Painting is also new to the exhibition scene here in the UK, and who also produces extremely strong graphical works. 
 
As a painter, Nigel is thoughtful and explorative in his approach to subject matter and composition. While his subject matter may sound mundane (think balled up paper, crate palettes and garden sheds) his execution is anything but. He brings life and character to objects that fall by the way side, as he strives to explore form, texture, space and our relationship with these everyday objects.
 
 
 
For the Art Fair, Nigel has provided artworks entitled Craft, and Palette/Raft (Noah), both of which are exemplary examples of his bold painterly style and colourful, textured approach to painting. 
 
We're convinced the Nigel will pick up a few new fans at this years fair. 
 
For more information about the NewcastleGateshead Art Fair, and our preparations, visit our Gallereo Exhibitions website.

Throughout August we have been running our Kindle giveaway competition, and just like in July, we asked people if they would post nice things about Gallereo on their blog, Facebook or Twitter.

We had yet another outstanding response to the giveaway, with lots of blogs, tweets and Facebook posts, so a big thank you to everyone who entered this month! We're extremely grateful for all of your efforts. 
 
We are now happy to announce that the winner of our August Kindle giveaway is:
 
 
Just like last month, we generated the winner by assigning all entrants with a number as the entries came in. We then asked the random number generator at Random.org to pick a number from our sequence, and Richard Wilson's name came out of the hat. 
 
Richard did a spectacular review of Gallereo on his website, The Rewind Podcast so thank you Richard, from everyone here at Gallereo.
 
We really hope that you enjoy your Kindle!

Saturday 27th August 2011Get Ready for ART MOSCOW 2011

With the arrival of September, comes the countdown to ART MOSCOW; the 15 International Art Fair focusing on contemporary art, and the biggest annual event in the Russian art scene. 
 
Founded in 1995, ART MOSCOW has grown to be the largest presentation of contemporary art in Eastern Europe, and is now a major event in the worldwide art calendar. 
 
To be held in the Central House of Artists in Moscow, the event will take place from 21st through to the 25th September.
 
As well as celebrating Russian contemporary art, the event also welcomes galleries and participants from around the world. Visitors to the Central House of Artists will get to see art from Cuba, Ukraine, Finland, Spain, Budapest, Switzerland, Germany, Belgrade and Japan, as well as a wide range of galleries from Moscow itself. 
 
L. Tishkov | Krokin Galllery (Moscow, Russia)
 
We wrote about a fantastic artistic project back in December 2010 called Private Moon, which featured artists Leonid Tishkov and Boris Bendikov, who had created their own moon and carried it around to places where they could take some truly stunning photographs. 
 
We were glad to hear that Krokin Gallery, that represents Tishkov in Moscow, will be showing at ART MOSCOW, and so hopefully they're will be a few fantastic moon images on show.

Friday 12th August 2011Artist Call: The Yellow Project

This week, we have another special introduction as our featured site of the week. This is special because there is also an opportunity here for you. 
 
AleRT is Not A Gallery is an organisation that supports and promotes contemporary arts projects, and in specific, interdisciplinary, site specific works that use a multidisciplinary dialogue and exchange to explore ideas of freedom, expression and innovation across multicultural boundaries. 
 
With bases in London, Venice and Los Angeles, AleRT is Not A Gallery will be hosting its very first project in London, in November this year. That first project is Yellow.
 
 
AleRT is Not A Gallery is active in organising events, exhibitions and performances, and they currently have a call for artists who would like to be involved in their Yellow Project this November. 
 
The Project will be a large scale installation, formed from the artworks of selected artists who explore the power and meaning of yellow as colour and cultural signifier, and what it has come to mean to us. 
 
The requirements for each artist is that they need to produce an artwork composed of a minimum of one, to a maximum of eighteen modules. Each module must be an equilateral triangle, of which each side will be 40 cm in length. The modules should be comprised of lightweight material like paper or thin board and should have the artists name, name of the work, signature and price on the back of the work. 
 
All media is permitted in creating the artwork upon the module. 
 
While there is no commission taken on sales of the work, there is an administration fee for being part of the project, which is based on the size of the artwork produced. For 1 - 3 modules, there is a £10 fee, for 3 - 6 there is a £15 fee and for 6 - 18 modules there is a £20.
 
 
If you would be interested in finding out more about the project, please visit the AleRT is Not A Gallery website, or you can download the application PDF which has everything that you need to apply. 
 
We look forward to seeing what comes of the Yellow Project, and where AleRT is Not A Gallery will be heading next.

Wednesday 10th August 2011Fragments: An Exhibition of Young Contemporary Artists

It seems as though we have a very exciting and proactive collection of artists here at Gallereo, who go a long way to making things happen and to have their work shown to a potentially adoring public. 
 
How does an exhibition in a light house, on a small island off the North East coast of England sound?  Like a challenge, right?
 
Well, a group of artists have managed to organise such an exhibition, and they should be proud of the fact. 
 
 
Fragments, as the exhibition is titled, will be showing at St Mary's Lighthouse, in Whitley Bay, from 27th August, through to the 1st September.
 
This is the first time that an exhibition has been held on St Mary's Island and it will feature paintings, sculpture and photography from 6 artists. Alysia Anne, and Darren Shields are two of the artists that will be showing at the lighthouse, and are familiar to us here at Gallereo. 
 
Alysia Anne joined us back in April. As a student from New Jersey, but currently studying at Northumbria University for a BA in Fine Art. Alysia works competently in both painting and photography, exploring form and colour, and using multiple exposures in her photography to created hauntingly layered images. 
 
Darren has also been with us since April, and working under the alias Arctoa, specialises in the abstraction of photography, drawing on influences and inspirations from dreams, memories and the dislocation that can be found in alternate perceptions of reality. 
 
If you want to go along and check out the show, make sure to take note of the times of the tides so that you can time your trip to the lighthouse.
 
We'll be dropping by, so hope to see you there!

Friday 05th August 2011Featured Artist with A Twist: Our 100th Twitter Follower

Back in June, we reached out 100th follower on Twitter, and as a consequence, we gave that follower a free website with Gallereo as a big thank you!
 
We have all kinds of followers on Twitter, so it was genuinely hit and miss as to who was going to be the 100th, and whether they would even have an interest in setting up a website with Gallereo.
 
Luckily, our 100th follower was a dedicated and talented artist, whose work as been a pleasure to view and whose progress with Gallereo has been strong. 
 
I'd like to introduce you to the work of Nigel Painting.
 
 
Nigel is based in the North of England (another coincidence as our Twitter followers are a global bunch), and he uses paint, print and digital media to bring an array of subject matter to life through exemplary form, colour and texture. 
 
In his own words, Nigel states that "I'm almost surprised to recognise that it's the act of painting that currently defines most of what I do as an artist. I've long been aware of the historical loading of painting as a cultural signifier and have adopted a cunning plan of generally eschewing oil on canvas in favour of more culturally flimsy materials. In this way, I imagine that I'm escaping some historical burdens and setting up encounters with a range of fresh challenges."
 
Here at Gallereo we are excited to see what Nigel has in store and how his work develops. A big thank you to him for being our 100th Twitter follower and we hope that his new website helps him to display his work to a wider audience, to further his career, and bring him lots of new fans.
