Support the invest in real art campaign

to coincide with us launching our Interior Design services and our new picture framing services we are to remind all of our customers that we will under no circumstances be reframing any whistlefish prints that are brought to us and we will discourage such behaviour as it tends to upset our artists.
 you bought the cheap factory print in its horrible plastic frame so you live with it!!!!

 As we will continue to be running our invest in real art campaign from all of our premises to encourage the public to once again invest in thier local talent by getting out there and if possible meeting the artists your investing in , in stead of buying something from an individual whom knows nothing about the subject.

Limiting The Supply.

Too many artists these days feel the need to sell print after print in order to cash in on the popularity of a single image and ultimately reducing the amount of time that is dedicated to the production of the real work.
 At Art By Valerio we ensure the exclusive nature of our very unique product by limiting any prints made from an original image to a series of 50 all of which come bearing the artists signature on both the print surface and again on the surrounding display mount. Each print is issued a catalogue number to enable cross referencing at any time  and each print also comes with a A5 connotation card ( These are hand written notes by the artist concerning the work and are a similar version as the ones that accompany all Originals. All Signed and Dated.)
 The nature of these works takes the artist a great deal of time in preparation and production each piece commanding several weeks for completion. The disposition that can occur from the gruelling efforts to produce these renderings have made them quite sought after pieces in thier own right , even more so since the artist has decreed that any pieces that have not sold within his lifetime and are left in his personal collection including all works in progress and sketchbooks will be DESTROYED!!!

Having worked with contemporaries such as Sue Lord, Robert Lenkiewicz, Gina Farrell, Howard Brown , Tom Mccracken, Rubin Hudd and Tony Tewfik, his accomplishments look only to continue evoking and inspiring.

The foundation to all civilisation!

They say that an image can convey a thousand words, if this is indeed true then it supersedes the need for a written language or so one might be inclined to believe.
  From the dawn of man civilisations have captured wishes and experience through the mediums of the arts from cave paintings to present day graffiti the overwhelming desire that mankind has always had to create. This of course has a Yin and Yang parody for as well as we are able to create so adept are we, indeed endowed with an ability to destroy,but to create order in an engulfing chaos , to catalogue, identify and to explain so that we might be able to improve our influence against the seeming disorder to be able to create a more autonomous equilibrium in which to live and be able to carry out our day to day lives.
  when we go back to what we unwittingly describe as the basic level; Neolithic Man for example, tribal society has its own hierarchy of belief and ritual each person within the community acts according to the role imposed upon them in accordance with that hierarchy, at the end of daylight hours when it is no longer viable to track or hunt or engage many of the activities that tribal societies conduct during the hours of high visibility.
 We are to presume that the individual who having completed the daily tasks remained alert and determined enough to follow through with the compulsion beyond that of his company, to sit by fire light and to whittle or to paint or draw to make something that was a reflection of something that he or she felt.
 When our earliest ancestors were first seeking shelter from the elements in the pre dawn of human habitation.To prevent themselves sitting in the mud they went and got a stone or log to sit on, over time others began to do the same, the first of our ancestors to encourage this began to sit on there makeshift seat come rain or shine ...and began to work the wood/stone, so that over time it displayed pictorial carvings of fanciful things.
  The dawn of trade, industry,and literate humans?

Phew!!!!

The big green truck arrived!!Hooray!!!

Seeking the advice of the ignorant!

Buy your Art from people who know nothing of the subject,
Vote for the fools who will take your freedoms,
Buy your dinner from Mcdonalds,
Pay into your pension that you wont live to collect,
accept your lot and tell your children that, its just the way it is,
or be Valerious and live your life in freedom.

Valerioism its Valerious!

Valerioism began just before the turn of the twenty first century in Cornwall and concerns the movement inspired by the prominent yet elusive artist Valerio. Whos influence was to inflame the entire establishment, not only through art but also through architecture , poetry, music and philosophy and waqs the initial turning point of recreational professionalism. It turned away from what had become the convention and pre conception of what art was generally considered to be in that place and time.

After the commercialization and corporate attempts to monopolise the high street means of art retail , the inevitable retaliation by the true creative core, the independent artists and galleries, was to steer once again towards the raw essence of true social , theological , and environmental concerns in an attempt to once again create enduring art and to encourage genuine patrons to think and feel, instead of succumbing to the inherent obsessive compulsive acquisition mentality that had become so common.

In turn this coined the term 'Valerious' to describe a system of embracing ones existence and to literally live life till it kills you. An ironically stoic approach, whilst still making acknowledgement of the profound importance of influence and suggestion for the beneficial progression of humanity.
 During these politically charged decades some even considered it to encompass a kind of martyrdom tendency.
