Artby Valerio's Art B&B Cornwall 2017

'The Pirate Ship Project'

the notion of attempting to find a secure means of positioning oneself in times such as these are not for the faint hearted.

amid my findings from the most recent set of semi voluntary experiments ... I decided that I really needed a base of operations .... one that was not liable to fluctuations of the contemporary nature .... a place that regardless of market inflations of crashes .... a place that could not succumb to the whims and wanton desires of hell, high water ... or even woman scorned a bolt hole ...a fall back position !!

and unfortunately the boat or the caravan are the only sensibly priced options for now at least

So I field tested this thing last year this Art B&B in the temporary arrangement that I had set up in Amsterdam , and the whole thing completely rocked !!

So the amalgamation began to grow the Art B&B is now an actual additional branch to the independent works and spaces that I like to develop part of the unbranded ' brand ' if you will

It is with great pleasure that we can announce a whole artistic academic vacation option right here in the sunny seaside town of Looe in Cornwall U.K.

the Art B&B Boat Building / Tipi Option will be running simultaneously to our new collaboration with The MeneGlaze Guest House for the summer season of 2017

So we will have a fine set of facilities on land as well .....

.....Either you can come down and stay in one of the Tipi accommodation options on the waterside in the stunning wooded estuary ... you can learn to build your own small boat in less than a week .... while learning the traditional techniques that are being used the refurbishment of the ' project boat ' that I am currently dismantling

....or you can come and stay in one of the wonderful guest rooms each with en suite bathrooms in the Guest house and sign up for our in house Art Classes and Creative disciplines programs with full use of the Art Studio and the gallery exhibition option at the end of your stay ,hosted by a fine selection of the established local artistic talents that reside in concentration in the area, offering short courses in every artistic medium conceivable ( and of course I will personally be offering a scheduled sets of classes amid the syllabus but please check availabilities and dates )

The Signature Style

Part of the ongoing body of works that have been come to be known as ' the Valerio Signature Style ' that has now come to encompass independent sub headings within the genre, including , ' The mandalas ' , ' The Orgy Balls ' , ' Studies of the Female Form ' , ' Cerebral ' and ' Unorthodox'

A manner of works I began working on as a child , to attempt to keep away from over embellishing them or over anthropomorphising or patterning , just to stay in the most grounding earthy tones and let the mind wander through the undulations to assist in the firing of the imagination

'The Under-exaggerated Origins of V'

After studying at Plymouth College of Art and Design, Valerio continued his studies at Sheffield Hallam University and Greenwich University and West Kent College.

Now based between his studio in Cornwall and Amsterdam, he is able to collaborate with some of the best known names in Art and Architecture on an international scale as well as here at home in the south west.

Valerio Describes his own work as ' dreamlike manifestations, evoking less than circumstantial references to archetypal memories of landscapes, and local geographies, figurative studies and all in between that which is captured in the veld of the diverse experiences that make up a lifetime.'

Chris Burchell, Art Critic and Curator of the Wharf Gallery , Tavistock 2010

written a few years ago now.

Valerio has been a keen art student. he has made excellent progress, demonstrating an imaginative and innovative response to a variety of stimuli, and has produced some outstanding units of course work.

Valerio has improved his ability to draw from observation with increasing skill and enjoys working in a variety of media, he has shown ability to draw from experience and imagination. Valerio has produced paintings of unusual quality, and shows a real awareness of the use of colour. His heightened critical awareness of other artists and cultures is an integral and successful aspect of his own work and he works well independently. Valerio's talent recommends him without question.

What do you make of the artist as a person?

Valerio , the man is a Raving Maniac, A genuine charicature of what an artist should be, hes eloquent and polite soft spoken and gentile , unless he is working on something of particular focus then he can be irritable , and unreasonable , never knowing if he is about to burst into song , or scream and shout a series of profanities against whatever is vexing him most at the time, even visitors to the gallery , ever outspoken and provocative toward debate, the constant array of models and well wishers that tend to come with the Artists Gallery appearances , can make even a quiet day seem lively!

Elusive is something of an understatement with this Artist and appearances are Rare as are his lectures and public exposures but a keen collaborator you will find the signature Valerio influence in many places you really wouldnt be expecting to find it, A very strong talent for such a young Artist already exhibiting his well developed style so that it is instantly recognizable, a Talent and a Character rapidly gaining in influence and popularity, and deservedly so!

101 Reasons....

From the series of sketchbook illustrations that eventually became the published book of illustrations ' 101 Reasons to choose a vocation in the creative industries ' the original series started out as a series of autobiographical sidenotes in my working sketchbooks, a clear homage to the work of Ralph Steadman and Hunter Thompson, are little cartoons I have been doing during those moments when you say to yourself ' what the actual F**k ??!!' which can happen a lot in this job !! the original set of sketchbook thumbnails were each revised for the publication and have always proved a great hit in their own right whenever they have gone on display at exhibition . Now in the 11th year of ongoing production, the series now consists of over 200 hundred images depicting recollections or reflections from Working Corporate positions in 2000 -my first pop up gallery ' The Arts Hole in Cornwall '2006- 'The Green Star House ' Design and build Project 2009- through the political and legal battles of the 'Valerio Institute'2013- to our most recent projects of ' Why Not ' in Amsterdam and the latest ART B&B and education projects running in parallel in Cornwall u.k and Amsterdam N.L 2016/2017 It Really has been quite a ride
