Exhibition "THE ETERNAL LOVE"

May 11 to June 30, 2004

 

Images of lovers across the ages, from antiquity to our times, depicted in paintings, graphic works, photographs and sculptures. At the same time, we will also have the exhibition "SALVADOR DALI @ 100", in honor of the 100th birthday anniversary of the painter-genius from Catalonia.

IMPORTANT: We do NOT limit participation only to works on a single theme. In general, out of 50-60 paintings in each exhibition, only 25 - 30% fall within a certain theme. The remaining works of art CAN be ANYTHING - landscapes, surrealistic themes, birds and animals, social issues, photographs, portraits, ecology, themes from historical events, works inspired by poetry, literature and music, spiritual and religious themes, space travel, works related to one's cultural heritage, legends and mythology, and so on.

We also aim for a mixture of level of artistic accomplishment: we like to show young, talented and aspiring artists along with more accomplished artists as well as some world-known artists. That makes for an interesting and inspiring event for artists as well as visitors. Contact us and join us for the next event!
