A closer look at our Summer 2016 issue

Our new publication has some excellent material for you to get your teeth into. Let’s take a closer look at some of the articles that are showcased on the updated site:

The most recent ATIM Masters Award Ceremony.

Gain some insider insights into this historic ceremony. The latest ATIM Masters Award Ceremony occurred back in May in the atmospheric surroundings of the Chateau St. Martin de la Garrigue. Fifteen brilliant master artists were selected from Art Tour International’s pick of 60 masters of the international art world. Our article about the ceremony is the perfect place to discover some amazing new international artists.

The latest art news

Recent snippets of art news include the discovery of a new pigment and an installation of floating piers in Italy. The new blue pigment is a very exciting discovery. Will it be as exciting in color terms as Da Vinci’s decision to mix his pigments with egg yolks? It remains to be seen. But we can all rest assured that artists will be exploiting its possibilities to the full extent in the coming months and years.

The exhibition of floating piers was created by Christo in conjunction with Jeanne-Claude. The piers were installed on Lake Iseo, and the installation required 100,000 meters squared of shimmery yellow fabric. The result is something truly spectacular that has to be seen to be believed. Head on over to our article on the subject to find out more!
A fascinating travel section.

Our latest travel section has been written by the fine art photographer, Aldo Basili. This section details Basili’s travels to Namibia and features some amazing photography. Basili’s photographs are often mistaken for impressionistic watercolors, as they have a very dreamlike, painterly quality. Now that he has been inspired by the landscape and culture of Namibia, we can be sure that we’ll see some wonderful new work from him. Read his article on his travels to find out more.

Cover stories

Our cover stories currently present the four award-winning masters featured on the cover of the publication. The front cover lets us get up close and personal with LeRoi Johnson, while the back cover introduces us to Michael Lam. On the interior front cover, you will find Mark James Ford, and on the interior back cover, you will find Lisa Levasseur of Palette Art in Canada.
