Josef Kote Personal Appearance

Galeria del Mar, a Cutter & Cutter Fine Art Company, announced today an exhibition of over 30 new originals and limited editions from New York based artist Josef Kote. A private Collector’s Party and reception will take place on Friday, May 30^th from 7-10pm and the exhibition is open to the public and available for sale on Saturday, May 31st. Josef Kote will be available during a public Meet & Greet on Saturday between 12-5pm.

“These colorful originals from Josef Kote represent the greatest excitement we have seen in many years” said Len Cutter, president. Cutter went on to say, “Kote’s unique blend of realism with abstraction and expressionism has enlightened us as art dealers to a change in the tastes of art lovers in our First Coast marketplace. Throughout the years our galleries have been traditional, classic line and form, if you will. Our sales inform us that, as markets mature, new and younger collectors have emerged and we must keep pace. With artists like Josef Kote, with his highly trained eye and uniquely powerful and expressive style, we are doing just that.”

Kote was born in Albania, immigrated to Toronto and has recently settled in New York City.

The gallery is open from 10:30am – 10pm on weekends and 10:30am - 6pm on weekdays call 904-829-2120 for details. For further information visit www.cutterandcutter.com and click on the events tab.

No art lover should miss this splendid occasion to see and acquire originals from his recent “Junto al Agua” collection. For over a decade Royo, Spain’s masterful figurative genius, has considered “The Ancient City” one of his favorite places to visit and he has painted this exhibition with our collectors in mind. This is a must-attend event.

Note: Three years have past since Royo’s last visit and experience encourages our strongest recommendation to art lovers to grasp the importance of this Royo exhibition and visit to Brilliance in Color.

“With my brush, for a brief moment

of a painting, I celebrate the right to live,

to love, to speak, to make love...” - Andre Desjardins

MARCH 16TH & 17TH - ROYO RETURNS!

Royo will make a personal appearance at Brilliance In Color on Friday, March 16th and Saturday, March 17th. If you would like more information on this special weekend event please contact Brilliance In Color gallery at 904-810-0406 or email us at bic@cutterandcutter.com.

Royo's canvases are an elegant form of language, however his efforts are not limited to the obvious (that he paints beautiful women in unique settings), we have come to understand that his art is an effort to identify a myriad of emotion and feeling. We are inspired by his insightful words, “I do not paint horses or people, I paint sublimate ideas; emotions which are transmitted through forms.”

There is much more occurring within each of Royo's paintings than a simple search for beauty. As a modern Spanish Master Royo is following icons such as Velazquez, Ribera and Sorolla, this is no small feat and we are honored to support his continued search for a unique voice.
