We were approached by James Street to give our take on why it's important to buy local. Christmas might have passed, but the reasons to buy locally remain the same.

It is quite a big month of exhibitions for some of TWFineArt's artists, with Max Greis, Emily Silver and Margarita Dittborn Valle all having exhibitions opening this month. To learn more about these exhibitions follow the links below and visit their page at TWFINEART.COM to see the artists work in limited edition print! MAX GREIS - The Garage Door Video Series at BRIC Contemporary Art.

"The Garage Door Video Series, Between Now and Then, is a look at landscapes in the process of change. Whether material or ethereal, these videos explore cycles of decay and rebirth. Artists in this series locate changes within broad thematic spectrums that range from the natural environment to human history. While some address visions of progress, others comment on acts of deliberate destruction. Most of the videos apply a specific technique of cut-out collage animation, which super-imposes moving images upon two-dimensional planes. This technique helps achieve unexpected optical delights, which, at times resemble moving paintings. Through the visual juxtaposition of stillness and movement, the marks of transformation over time become apparent." Exhibition curated by: Shireen Abrishamian and Banyi Huang

EMILY SILVER - Savage Mentality at Cerritos College Art Gallery.

"Savage Sentimentality presents a group show of artists of unique backgrounds and interests connected by a tenuous relationship to sentiment. The artists included allude to and/or embrace sentiment while simultaneously ravaging it, either with a brutish material response or vice versa - a subject matter that contradicts the sensitivity of material handling." Guest curated by Steven Hampton.

MARGARITA DITTBORN VALLE - Retrospective at Parque Arauco 

"Like the artists of yesteryear, Margarita Dittborn Valle's (Born: 1981 ) pure ambition is to create a sublime visual experience.... We love the subtle nostalgic and fanciful themes ever-present in the work of this photographer and winner of a transcendent self-taught artist in the national and international space."

We always like to inspire with some design ideas. If you are unsure as to how a particular contemporary artwork print will look in your space, simply email us a picture of your room [enquiries@twfineart.com], and we'll scale and position the piece into your space using our state of the art software. The great thing about the limited edition print is that you can achieve the million dollar feeling, without the million dollar price tag. Our prints are archival, printed on the highest quality german Cotton Rag paper with densely pigmented archival inks that preserve the genuine touch and look of the original artwork, for a small fraction of the price of the original. In these interiors we've placed limited edition prints from our portfolio, precision framed and sized to best suit the space. They are available in the TWFineArt SHOP. Curatorial help is just an email away!
