as i see it
In this issue Timothy looks at the landscape genre; the way it fell into, and out of, critical favor and how he personally relates to it as an artistic expression. He goes on to introduce Claude Bauret Allard and Andras Bality, two artists who have grasped the essential and timeless qualities of landscape and made them their own.

"Notions of landscape 2008"
Claude Bauret Allard
Claude Bauret Allard is a French pastellist, represented by TEW for over five years. She is highly exacting, with rigorous personal demands for her art, and for the technical execution of pastels, a medium which today has become rare. Bauret Allard's palette of tranquil colors echoes the French countryside. Her subjects are simple: country woods, a stand of trees, or a church in a small town. Though the subject matter is traditional, she works in a contemporary manner with a clear sense of mastery.

Andras Bality "Huguenot Bridge" 2008 |
Andras Bality
Andras Bality's work took on a new dimension last year, when he turned his attention to making plein air paintings of the James River in Richmond. Bality's process begins with small, superbly realized oil paintings created in situ along the shore of the James. These, he later expands into larger, more imaginative pictures in his studio. Bality's perspective is traditional but his paintings are loose, fresh, and dynamic with a deeply perceptive sense of color.

TEW 2008 Lecture Series
"The Art Market: Fundamentals for Buyers and Collectors"
The seminar begins our 2008 lecture series. The goal is to introduce people to the art market in its various forms. Starting with the most natural approach, the seminar will outline a personal method to buying art that not only connects emotionally, but which also makes a home beautiful. We then move on to explain the art business hierarchy and to envision a strategy for collecting art which departs from being constrained by obvious connections to the interior environment. This approach subordinates the décor while adding to the ambient mood and drama of the space.

Upcoming: Olena Zviagintseva
On Friday, May 2nd TEW Galleries is proud to open an
exhibition of superb figurative works by the Ukranian artist Olena Zviagintseva. Known as a powerful painter with a refined yet vibrant color palette, Zviagintseva's new works combine the heavy impasto techniques that are integral to her style with contrasting paint applications that are light handed, sensitive, and classically inspired. These dynamic technical oppositions come together to form paintings that are as bold as they are timeless.
