Happening now:

Anduma: Building Bridges

3D Virtual Exhibition

For “Anduma: Building Bridges”, curators Bouwien Luppes and Michelle Hold carefully selected works by five internationally acclaimed female artists. Through the art, they invite the viewer into their world: building bridges between the masculine and the feminine; bold and soft; and movement and stillness.

All with the intention to inspire towards more loving and balanced days ahead. A future with room for uniqueness; acceptance of diversity, while connecting in humanity.

  • "Psychedelic Vintage Flowers" by French contemporary artist, Fabienne Monestier

Coming soon:

Decadent Liaisons: Floral Abstractions

3D Virtual Exhibition

“Decadent Liaisons: Floral Abstractions” is an intricate blend of floral and abstracted works by contemporary artists Fabienne Monestier (France) and Karin Goeppert (Germany).

Inspired by the light that gives strength to the colours of nature, Fabienne’s style is free and gestural, with a lot of spontaneity. Karin’s work fluctuates between somewhat Utopian and abstract perceptions, balancing nature’s beauty with its more destructive side.

Enjoy the decadent liaison between the artists’ energy and rich palettes of their work.

I don't know how but Bo finds extraordinary pieces, the kind of art that makes you stop and stare, that draws you in and makes you wonder. At each exhibition I see my favourite pieces from last time have been adopted but the replacements always surprise and enthrall. Looking forward to the next show.

OUR STORY

FEATURED ARTIST: Pepe Hidalgo (Canada)

Contemporary artist, Pepe Hidalgo

Award-winning contemporary artist Pepe Hidalgo lives and works in BC, Canada. His artistic career started in Madrid where he, as a teenager, frequented the Museo del Prado. Pepe has exhibited extensively and the awards he has won go back as far as 1985.

His inspiration originates from everyday life, steeped in his knowledge of astrology, mythology, history, and life experiences.

  • Pepe Hidalgo is presented by Gallery 44

Pepe’s technique

Hidalgo’s somewhat abstract style is narrative in the figurative genre. Not related to realism, yet created from his imagination, and memory of his sense of reality.

His paintings achieve strength through the glazes or thin opaque or semi-opaque layers he applies. He will continue with this layering technique until he achieves a greater sensation of space.

  • "La Guapa II" by Vancouver artist, Pepe Hidalgo

Artist Statement

Standing in front of each painting one encounters a moment in time, created within the world depicted on the canvas. Each of my paintings is representational and portrays a world with a unique space-time that is definitely separate from the one the viewer primarily inhabits.

My art invokes the ineffable nature of time and the equally mysterious way that the past can push its way forward into the present moment.
