World Art Day!
World Art Day is an international celebration of art, which was declared by the International Association of Art (IAA/AIAP), a partner of UNESCO, to promote awareness of creative activity worldwide. The first World Art Day was held on April 15th, 2012, a date chosen in honor of Leonardo da Vinci's birthday in 1452. As a symbol of world peace, freedom of expression, tolerance, brotherhood and multiculturalism da Vinci is also a testament to the influence of the Fine Arts on other fields.
Three New Artists Join the GKM Family
— A World Art Day Announcement
On the occasion of World Art Day, Galleri GKM is proud to announce the addition of three exceptional artists to its already distinguished roster. FenX, Hunt Slonem and Russell Young each bring a singular vision — and together they deepen a gallery programme that, since 1967, has been built on the conviction that great art transcends borders.
FenX
FenX works in the charged space between drawing and gesture, between digital precision and painterly spontaneity — a Paris-based artist whose instantly recognisable visual language is unlike anything else in contemporary art.
