Just in time for the New Year, I could curate two virtual galleries for Artitude, a new online - virtual gallery space with offices in Singapore.
Four artists from China are represented with their works at "Chinese Contemporary Art" and five from Europe at "European Contemporary Art".
The gallery spaces are of high resolution and very well done. It's a pleasure to browse around and stop in front of an artwork to immerse oneself in it.
A wonderful way to experience museum quality artworks from the comfort of your home.
I invite you to try it out:
