 Natália
Gromicho - the
exhibition 'Wondering If' of the latest
artworks.
Natália Gromicho was born in Lisbon, Portugal. At the
Faculdade de Belas Artes de Lisboa, she studied painting and went on to
graduate from Intensive Painting at the private ArCo School of Art in
Lisbon.
As an Expressionist artist, Gromicho’s work is often
concerned with perception and reality. Her canvases are as energetic as the
Lisbon streets with desiccating slogans and sunset red riots, and it is easy
to see the personal influence of this bright chaotic city. Painted lines
scrawl over deserted pastel buildings, the ubiquitous graffiti contrasting
with the multiple layers.
The recurring image of a headless and armless female
mannequin verges on the surreal, and within this metaphysical framework
Gromicho paints with an anything-might-happen wildness. Her paintings are
slowly piecing together a philosophical mosaic- and with more and more in
demand, her unique vision only gets clearer.
Having participated in more than 70 solo and group
exhibitions, the artist has already represented her country in Italy,
Brazil, Miami and Australia. Her works are now in several private and
institutional collections worldwide.

California, when the Caldor Wildfire turned
toward them. He combines art history with
materials he collects from climatic change
events.
He is an American contemporary artist born in
the west coast of the USA in 1947. He evolved as
an artist in the Pop Art America during the 60's
and 70's, working alongside his contemporary
Andy Warhol and Wayne Thiebaud. Thiebaud would
later become Smothers’ University professor and
a forefront figure of the American Pop Art.
Smothers is well established in the USA with
having held numerous exhibitions, featured in
museums and gallery collections, participated in
art fairs and art projects. Smothers has been
exhibited in New York, San Francisco, Chicago,

 Mine Zabci
- the exhibition 'Only You Can' of
the latest paintings by the gallery new artist.
"Images possess a
power that doesn’t need words, a magical energy
that touches the soul, feeding the hunger and
curiosity of human nature.” - Mine Zabci
Abstract
Expressionist: Based in the UK, contemporary
artist Mine Zabci is renowned for her abstract
expressionist work, exhibiting both in the UK
and abroad. A graduate of Fine Art, Mine
describes herself as a spontaneous artist.
Spontaneity is critical to the artist’s work.
She does not sketch beforehand or have a
preconceived idea of what she will create fast
preferring to let inspiration take over and
guide her hand. Using a variety of techniques
and mediums including hand paints, pallet knives
and clothe, Mine believes in the freedom of
artistic expression that cannot be restricted to
particular techniques, timescales, plans or
styles. She believes that images without words
fulfil the desire of “human nature to create its
own mysteries when exploring the unknown, the
unseen and the unspoken."

 Gamal Meleka
- the exhibition 'History’s Traces' of the latest artworks
by the artist.
Gamal Meleka, born
in Cairo, is based in Milan. His extensive
studies at Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera and
his unique talent have allowed him to become one
of the most acclaimed artist in contemporary art
in Italy, Egypt and several countries in Europe
and Middle Est.
The encounter of the
two inspiring cities strengthened into a
powerful and sensitive artistic philosophy that
pervades his canvas collections, performing
amazing images.
It lies in Meleka’s
ability to play his harmonious melody to the
rhythm of his traits. His straight and rugged
lines conflict with his tender lines that appear
from behind the sudden hissing and the bold
scratches of his spatula.
He fulfilled the
goal of creating a contemporary icon permeated
by the questions of modern human being together
with the development of modern figurative art.
The Sphynx epic, guardian of civilization,
thrives among contemporary complexity, keeping
alive the roots of humanity and inspiring the
performance virtuosity of Meleka.

 Claudie
Bastide - the exhibition "The
Force Of The Gesture" of the latest
artworks.
Claudie Bastide, is an international artist having lived in a number of cities including Paris, Brussels and Mexico where she ran a fashion-design studio. Back in Paris she spent
10 years collaborating with a French fashion icon-Pierre Cardin. She fell in love with the arts, and had her first solo exhibition of characters made out of chairs back in 1996.
Claudie enjoys using brushes and colours to express the very and unspeakable depth of her feelings. She expresses herself in an abstract, geometrical way, looking for harmony of shapes and colours. Claudie is particularly fond of oil painting for its exhilarating scents and vibrant colours, so much so that, she would happily cover herself in the stuff! Claudie also recently got into digital photography manipulation, and is without a shadow of a doubt an all round artist!
Claudie has received several honour prizes for her works and has exhibited in many cities including Paris, Geneva, Berlin, Barcelona. Many of her sculptures and paintings are in private collections. Claudie currently lives and works
near Montpellier, France.

 Jamie
McCartney
- the latest
artworks.
Jamie McCartney is an English sculptor, trained at Hartford Art School, USA, where he graduated in 1991. An artist hard to define. “I blame my degree in Experimental Studio Art... I’m still experimenting”. He admits to being a sculptor but shuns any closer definition. “I make things”. This mock belies a strong character with a definite je ne sais quoi... A maverick, a self-confessed enfant terrible and what he makes is causing a stir.
McCartney began his career running his own forge, making abstract animal sculptures in steel. He subsequently moved into sculpture, prop making and special effects in the film industry. Jamie worked on films such as Blackhawk Down, Charlotte Gray, Around the World in 80 Days, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and Casino Royale.

 Ashkal
-
the exhibition
'The Death Of Cleopatra' of the artist's latest
artworks.
'My depiction of the series " The Death of
Cleopatra " an event that occurred on August, 30
BC, in Alexandria is based on surrealism.
As an artist, I work hard and that hard work
includes my study, research, and efforts to
develop paintings that speak both to me and to
others and what inspires me to portray The Death
of Cleopatra which has been depicted in various
works of art throughout history is the narrative
itself and the way Old Masters portrayed it.
Cleopatra was the most beautiful woman of her
era but she regardless of her looks was
certainly a formidable leader—and one of the
most powerful members of a Greek dynasty that
dominated Egypt for more than three centuries.
As the Queen of Egypt faced with the prospect of
losing her kingdom, she killed herself by
allowing an asp (Egyptian cobra) to bite her.
I was very much inspired by this famous subject
matter that I decided to represent a historical
event in my manner.'
