Georgaras is a native of Zante. He is well known on the island and his work clearly demonstrates his international training in Australia and The Philippines. The collection has a few of his works and in particular his summery still lives in the cubist style, which is of great quality and merit.
Studied at the Fine Art School of Athens. Accepted, respected and collected by all including the National Gallery, which owns a collection of twenty works of his. We acquired the work of Papanelopoulos for the first time in 2003 and directly from the artist. Being one of the best artists painting in Athens today we felt it was imperative to invest some serious money in this promising/established artist. We exhibited his work in 2004 in London and since then we have been following his ascending auction prices. Our stock shows only five paintings left but that is still good for an artist who has been selling at auction from 1500 to 8,000 pounds and with an upward trend in the last five years. The artist is actually completing a commission of a number of paintings for us at the moment.
Zenetzis was born in Crete and studied at the Colourist School in Crete for three years. He travelled extensively in Europe in the 1970s and he found his technique and style once he visited and studied the divisionist style of Van Gogh and the French Impressionists. He calls himself jokingly, the Van Gogh Of Greece. He is the only divisionist artist of mention in Greece today and his style is appreciated worldwide. He is a talent of immense proportions whose art will survive the test of time and become much more valuable than it is today.
Clifford Charman was born in England of Jewish decent in 1910. We came upon his work first time at auction in the early 1990s. Buying a couple of pieces because we liked them in 1992 led to acquiring the whole studio sale of his in two auction sales. The first sale at Bonhams in London, where we bought eighteen oil paintings, including his self-portait. The second one in a separate sale at Stansted, where we acquired another two oil paintings plus all his working drawings and a dozen beautiful watercolours. His drawings and watercolours are of particular quality and topographical interest to all English collectors. We hasten to add here, affordable and value for money.
Vakirtzis is still an unknown artist at auction but very much a good artist in the local galleries of Athens. The stock we have, even though small, is yet very interesting and of very high quality. Vakirtzis is a captivating figurative artist of some promise, an artist one needs to buy and know for sure better things are to come soon.
Adami is a native artist of Nice, France. He is mostly known for his views of Nice and its coastal areas as well as his Still Life of flowers. The collection we have in our stock comes from a private investor in South France. Unfortunately we cannot name with more precision the areas painted. They are clearly identifiable for those well familiar with Southern France. Custodio is a very rare talent and very respected artist in The Philippines. His studio teaching and work are well known in the Philippines and much is to be admired in the work of this great artist. He taught many artists such as Navarro, Galvez and Dumlao. He won the second prize in the Arts Association of Philippines in 1955 with his work, Pantalan. His mentor was the biggest Philippino artist, Fernando Amorsolo.
Leon is the son of the artist Nicos Kalogeropoulos. Leon had his first lessons with his father and after his tutelage at home he spent fifteen years in Paris improving his art and dedicating his life to art. On his return to Athens after 1974, he devoted his whole life to painting and especially marine painting. Angelos Papadopoulos is an artist of huge talent appearing in small galleries in Athens and selling at reasonable prices, albeit cheap for the art he has on offer. We like his expressive palette, we love his freedom in painting with quick, thick brush-strokes and we believe that his future is bright. Angelos studied in Athens and then in Louvain, Belgium. Potronat is a French artist with a very strong collecting following in Britain and the USA. He painted exclusively the Cote D’Azur, where he lived during the whole of his life. He has been a very successful auction artist and his work appeared on numerous occasions at auctions with very good results. |
