Send, give, collect, LUMAS takes art to a new level by making art not only accessible but also shareable and portable
VANCOUVER, March 8, 2016 /CNW/ - LUMAS Gallery has always put the accessibility and democratization of art at the forefront of its objectives. Most recently with the launch of Art Now, a collection of postcard-sized photographs to easily give or collect. Set at the accessible price of $38, they arrive ready to hang with built-in hooks and magnets, as well as an acrylic desk stand for display. These practicalities are all in the name of LUMAS' mantra; 'Art should be seen.'
Many different themes weave in and out of the Art Now Collection, making it the ideal microcosm of a personal photography portfolio, with seven different artist series featured in the launch.
Young Canadian artist, David Eger and his Cloned Photos images revitalize the historic and the iconic by replacing the characters in some of the world's most renowned photographic works with Storm Trooper figurines.
With equal humor, Catherine Ledner, in her Animal House series, projects the jovial as she shows an array of bipedal and four-legged creatures posing like top models.
Beautifully packaged, and ready to send, Art Now is available to Canadian customers in-store in our Vancouver gallery at 305 Water Street and through www.lumas.com.
