Art Works
‘Is it ever too late to discover art?’
PAINTING | ILLUSTRATORS | SCULPTURE | PHOTOGRAPHY
People feel the need to enjoy all kinds of art, poetry, painting, music, theatre, sculptures, books etc. because they enjoy identifying themselves with the arts. Art offers people a balance with the world around them, this means that art is not only important in the past, but it will always be equally important to us today and in the future. There is something about art that expresses and fascinates us just when we look at paintings made by our ancestors and future talent who have put their emotions, thoughts and vision into a piece of work.
Various forms of drawings, painting, and other visual depictions almost certainly facilitated communication and education among early humans. It is this beauty that one draws the first connection between nature and art. Nature and art are both beautiful, no matter how you define beauty. They both can dazzle us and hold us breathless. They can inspire us and make us feel connected to something. Art can strike an emotional nerve that leaves an impact, it employs a visual stimulus to affect the mental or emotional state of the viewers.
PSYCHOLOGY OF ART
Al is educated in behavioural and cognitive psychology and appreciates the thought process that goes into a piece of art. Every artist and their paintings have ‘Art therapy’, a story that involves active creative behaviours be it of thoughts, memories, dreams or trauma; these emotions tell the artist’s stories through their paintings. Al claims: “The heightened levels of perception and feeling are created by great art. Contents of the personal unconscious and, more particularly, the collective unconscious, could be accessed by art and other forms of cultural expression”.

- A selection of artists and their work is presented to the venue, then selected.
- Artists’ work is hung on display in various venue locations for 2 to 6 weeks depending on the client and according to footfall.
- Art is promoted in venue locations and to members/ guests via online, leaflets, notices and or email mailouts.
- Artists contracted to provide one or two professional talks on their work to members, guests and staff.
- Depending on the client, sponsors are an option to assist with the financial commitment and cross-collaborations.
