introducing karin zeller

We are proud to open a new Online Exhibition today by artist Karin Zeller.  Born in Germany, Canadian by nationality, and now residing in Melbourne, Karin Zeller has worked as a professional artist since 1990, when she started Personal Touch Portraits, which resulted in hundreds of portrait commissions over a 5 year period.

Karin’s first exhibition with one hundredth gallery is titled ‘Fanciful Felines’.

“For this exhibition, I’ve chosen to feature some of my cat creations. My love of abstract was born about 20 years ago, when I created my first tiger abstract. I’ve always loved cats, but never liked painting them until I stumbled upon Laurel Burch’s colourful cats.  Other influences who have inspired my colourful abstract style are Picasso and Paul Klee.” – Karin Zeller

we’re all about exhibiting aspiring and ’emerging’ artists

Samuel Webster (Mood of Monk) shared this article with me and I thought I would share it with you.   Artinfo has asked the experts, “What does “emerging” really mean in the art world?”

Please click here to read their responses.

As you know, one hundredth gallery is devoted to the exhibition of artwork by aspiring and emerging artists and aims to be a part of the process that enables creative people to exhibit their work to the public (especially those who are starting out).  If this sounds like you, please get in touch.

Until then, I hope you have a wonderful long long weekend.

introducing young yu and walking the midnight

We are very excited to open a new Online Exhibition today by photographer, Young Yu.

Young’s first exhibition with one hundredth gallery is titled ‘Walking the Midnight’.

Walking the Midnight is a collection of images that document Melbourne at night.  Young says, “Many of these images are missed until they are shot to be framed, and seen to be analysed.  Photographers are violent people in that way. They often take away the softness of memory”.

In her first online exhibition, Young captures the light-full dramas of her favourite city, Melbourne. Her nocturnal exploration brings out the vibrant unseen by the day and captures the light that shines in this city.

another couple of steps

Maybe I was in corporate for too long, or maybe I just like being thorough.  Or perhaps I’m a little over-excited as we get closer to opening the gallery.  Either way, I have been conducting more rigorous UAT (that’s User Acceptance Testing) of the hanging system and of the paintings that will hang from them.

Results thus far are very positive.

All works in these photos are my own, and will only adorn the gallery hanging rails if there is spare space; or if I get desperate for an income.
