’tis the season to beGallery
Caballo en Ciudad by Juan Carlos Breceda
The gift of art - enduring, meaningful and something for all to share.
Art is many things to many people. Some of our friends define themselves as “art slaves,” traveling to galleries, museums, shops, always drawn to the art and artists wherever they are. Always finding something. It can be delightful and charming, or thought provoking and moody. Sometimes a small drawing will draw you in. And, draw you to the artist.
I see art as a way to develop an ongoing relationship with an artist whose work touches you. And that relationship is not static, it changes as we change over the years. How you look at a piece after first buying it, and how it endures over the years is one of the more fascinating aspects of collecting. And, like old friends, sometimes rehanging your collections (not that you would hang your friends) lets you see the work in a different way, as seeing old friends in a new relationship, new city or just after a long while.
Many of beGallery clients come back time and again to see the work of artists they collect and to select a new piece, or just to say how much they enjoy having the piece in their home or office.
As many of my art slaves friends, I find browsing in an art gallery to be a respite from the frantic world – sometimes providing a path to understanding that very world. If I find something I must have - all the better. But if not, I’ve seen the world in a different way through the eyes of others. And the juices are flowing.
I’m excited about the new show DRAWING ON DREAMS, and the new work by gallery artists, including the Breceda from Mexico shown here. Some have been selected - and priced - for gift giving. Stop by and tell me what you think.
