The Vision

Art is one of the strongest mediums to exercise freedom of the individual/artist and to liberate imagination in the form of colours, shapes, lines and textures.

Art is not only a skillful profession but it demands a discipline, which is subtler than the mere physical, vital existence of the artist. The consciousness of unlimited imagination, the honest endeavour of the artist to his work, his surrender to his art and his subject is what art demands. The history of art and architecture has endless examples of such surrendered souls who created masterpieces like Mona Lisa or the Frescoes in Sistine Chapel.

Art or painting has close correspondence with poetry/lyric and music. As Charles Baudelaire, the French poet had observed there is parallelism between “perfumes, colours and sounds”. At ArtVantage, we are trying to showcase through art these allegorical associations and correspondences that form a recurrent symbolic pattern in our thought process and imagination. Similarly, Salvador Dali (1), the greatest surrealist painter of our times perceived Jesus as cheese, “a whole mountain range of cheese!”1 As a Catalonian, Dali's memory of food and culinary details formed a big part in his later works.

WELCOME to the ArtVantage e-Visual Space

The ArtVantage Manifesto

1. We believe that the newest media can support and enhance the oldest, most sophisticated of art forms.

2. We believe that art can only be truly appreciated within a sympathetic, real visual space where you can see and experience the colour, texture and ambition of the artist.

3. We believe, however, we can provide an alternative, virtual platform for the most innovative and thought-provoking art - a valid, if surrogate, experience

4. We believe the web provides an opportunity for an artist to reach out to a far wider audience - to inform and to excite and, in turn, for the audience to grasp and explore the motivation of the artist

5. We believe that all arts are highly interactive and interrelated, there is intertextuality everywhere, there is correspondence in everything, and without this no art lives for a moment to tease us out of thought.

6. We believe that art can go a long way to foster relationships between countries and between cultural communities to create a natural environment for the flourishing of sustainable cultural industries based on the knowledge economy.
