Radek Husak artist profile.
"Art is a powerful tool that should not be taken lightly. As it carries messages that could change the course of history, artists should be cautious of what their content implies. In my personal opinion, art should focus on beauty rather than politics."

Ahead of Rad Husak’s new solo exhibition ‘Duality’ opening at Quantus Gallery, London, The Art Collector asked this rising star about his oeuvre to date. Rad Husak has been named as “the rising star of the art world” and is one of the most highly sought-after printmaker-artists working in ...

https://www.theartcollector.org/an-interview-with-dominican-artist-and-architect-lidia-leon/
"CONEXIÓN shared the diversity of our culture, through the colors, aromas, and textures of tobaccos leaves. Using the collage technique I was able to present the power and beauty of unity, in spite the fragility of a simple piece of leaf. Together is how we are able to live a better and healthier life."

The Art Collector asked Dominican artist and architect Lidia León’s several questions ahead of her major art installation, CONEXIÓN, in Central London. This art installation, in partnership with the Embassy of the Dominican Republic, will see the transformation of St Mary le Strand in Aldwych. P...

Stay tuned! We have just opened our Nassau office and are excited to bring more news, events and profiles from that side of paradise!

The legacy of colonialism has left a truly international footprint on the islands – from Europe (including a Greek community spearheading the sponging industry in the 1880s), the Americas, both North and South, and more. From this mix of cultures the Bahamian people have proudly shaped their own d...

The Art Collector's epic profile on art authority, Dr. Steven Lavine. An interview in two parts. Read part two below.

"most artists live on long arcs of personal, artistic, and intellectual development, so I would expect many artists to pick up more or less where they left off in March of 2020, with the lessons of the pandemic only slowly entering their work. I hope we will see a new understanding of the fragility of our lives emerge in the arts, but who knows. One change of which I am more certain is that artists, having been cut off from their audiences during the pandemic are going to want to interact with those audiences in new and more intensive and extensive ways."

http://www.theartcollector.org/an-in-depth-interview-with-dr-steven-lavine-part-ii/

The Art Collector was privileged to be able to ask Dr. Lavine several questions surrounding the publication of a book on his life’s works, titled Steven D. Lavine — Failure Is What It’s All About in an interview which we have split into two parts. Read part one here. How is the theory of Gesam...

The Art Collector's epic profile on art authority, Dr. Steven Lavine. An interview in two parts. Read part one below.

"To art students, the world can look already overfilled with older artists. At graduation, I used to tell them that every generation of artists fails to meet the concerns of the next generation, and so there is always the absolute necessity for new artists to emerge."

The Art Collector spoke with Diane Allen, art collector, designer, philanthropist and entrepreneur:
"I relate to emerging artists as I was a struggling artist myself. So, giving an opportunity to help them pay their rent by making a purchase, keeps them both working and feels so gratifying. Of course I have to see they have “something” but either way it’s an act of love and encouragement. I also have a handful of talented artists that I am currently mentoring"

Ahead of Fabian Perez’s UK tour at Clarendon Fine Art and Whitewall Galleries, The Art Collector asked the artist about his new collection entitled: El Amor.

"I have always explained that for a long time, I did not want to define my way of painting, so as to not limit myself. However, a few years ago I felt the need to create my own movement, that I called Neo-Emotionalism – a movement where the importance of creating with emotion goes beyond the technique used. Neo-emotionalism will be recognized by the artists who, after creating their work, will simply feel liberated, and also by the viewer when they feel the creation in their heart."
