ART
Its a wrap! 
Affordable Art Fair
Fall 2012 NYC

This is the last issue dedicated to the Affordable Art Fair, NY. We felt that it was important to give this fair a good showing, because it always offers galleries without pretense. It was designed for art lovers of all income brackets and they have stayed true to that mission. With $10,000 being the absolute top price, a price which is often the least expensive works in many of the other larger NYC art fairs. This does not discount the quality of the artworks shown - which is very high quality over-all.

Here is the last of our selection of pieces at the AAF, Fall 2012:

Emmanuel Fremin Gallery, NYC - Artist: Do Byung Kyu "Doll Series" 

These are paintings, not photographs. The artist creates his work using a combination of airbrush and brush, mastering old world painting techniques, by using a base color, which is applied with airbrush, and then as he paints, he applies layers of gloss varnish between the many layers. The faces and liquid textures are created only with oil paint. The final gloss coat is a mixture the artist formulated himself to give a very high shine (it is not resin).
