Art Bank Photography

http://artbankphotography.fotopic.net/



Art Bank Photography describes itself as "a basic site offering photographic prints for sale, in a variety of sizes, to home owners and interior designers". These images are not mass-produced, but are printed to order and cannot be found anywhere else. Constantly growing, with images added and replaced at regular intervals, the site features an individual and eclectic collection of images gathered from our everyday world - "sometimes sensitive, sometimes 'in your face', but always reflecting the design found outside in the everyday in a way that it can be appreciated indoors". [GAS, 25 Aug 2006].

ArtezPhotoVisions

http://www.artezphotovisions.com/



The official site of composer and artist Phil Artez offers some stunning black and white photographs for sale, including "ballet, statues, journeys, portraits, fine art nudes, Venice Carnival, factory and research works". The site itself is not quite as successful - the layout of the site feels rather cluttered in parts, and the small size of most of the images makes it difficult to fully appreciate their quality and detail. However, the photography alone makes this site still worthy of a visit. [GAS, 24 Mar 2009].

Lugansk Art Gallery

http://www.artgallery.com.ua/




Lugansk Art Gallery is currently one of the largest Ukrainian galleries dealing with online sales of "magnificent, high-quality artworks created by professional Ukrainian and international artists". According to the Gallery's site, its core business is selling artworks and creating commission artworks (commission portraits, commission paintings, copies of paintings, commission sculpture and various commission handcrafts) - all works by its artists are original, and are supplied with an Originality Certificate. The Gallery also arranges and conducts personal and group exhibitions, as well as taking part in the development of different art projects and in various culture events both in Ukraine and abroad. The Lugansk site is well-designed, and available in a multitude of languages, including English. The interface is excellent - users can browse by artist, style, genre, medium, material, price or size, with each artwork illustrated using good quality images of the painting in its entirety as well as an actual-size detail - if a piece of work then takes your fancy, the site also offers online ordering and worldwide delivery. With the added attraction of a very good Art Directory, featuring more than 600 links to art and culture-related resources, the Lugansk Art Gallery has managed to create a site that is rich, interesting and useful. Awarded a Sapling Commendation. [GAS, 11 Sep 2006].

Paintings of the Third Millenium

--NEW URL-- http://www.camilovillanueva.com.ar/



Paintings of the Third Millenium (or Pinturas del Tercer Milenio in Spanish) is a great personal site, set up by the Argentinian artist Camilo Villanueva to showcase and sell his own paintings. The home page is a shock to the system with its splashes of colour, reflecting Villanueva's highly abstract, bold and visually arresting work. The site includes a good selection of paintings for sale and a smaller gallery of other works. There is also a short biography of Villanueva, with some extremely complementary critical quotes. For example, one critic writes, "one can feel part of his paintings and through them you can have access to the cosmic and change your soul". Because the site is limited in size it is easy to navigate through, and it is well worth a visit, just to experience the 'energy, love, and harmony' of the work - surely a good enough reason for anyone. [DJP/GAS, 11 Sep 2006].

Serres-Art.com

http://www.serres-art.com/



Montserrat Serres is an art dealer in Barcelona, specialising in contemporary painting, sculpture, photography and pottery. Serres-Art.com is described as a "Cyberart Gallery", featuring "conventional art sold through cyberspace"; hence, the site includes a Gallery section featuring the work of the artists represented by Montserrat Serres, as well as an up-to-date news and events listing. There is also a very good section of international art-related links. For non-Spanish speakers, much of the site is conveniently translated into English. [GAS, 5 Sep 2006].
