Art gallery sites provide market space for sellers and buyers of artistic pieces. It`s a very effective instrument, which connects national and international buyers with artists directly. Artists exhibit their creations in online expositions letting potential buyers select pieces online comfortably and fast. It`s progressive device, which allows them to sell their creations inexpensively and with no commissions. These websites have high quality images of pieces which are divided by medium – watercolor, oil, pastel, portraits and others. Also, these expositions can be separated by subject – animals, abstract, urban, etc. Among traditional styles, they also have new fine art such as computer animation, digital pieces, etc. Visitors may find interesting and rare creations such as paper prints from the 1950s and 1960s, oil on canvas from the 1930s, Russian works from the Soviet epoch and other out-of-the-ordinary vintage creations. Art galleries are an effective way for the unknown artists because they have high traffic and always develop and create traffic to it. A single unknown master can create his own site, but it may not have enough traffic on it. They may link their own site with the website. Well-organized marketing strategy helps to keep these galleries search-friendly and visible. It drives more traffic and more people will know about the him and his work. Online expositions have a featured painters list with masters, who have the most perspective on such works. Painters also can use some tools to increase exposure to their galleries. For example, they may send an e-card with their creations to potential buyers. These galleries also allow clients to send their work as e-cards. Web exhibitions provide public information about artists: their stories and bios. They are welcome to publish articles about their work on these sites. In their articles, they can explain their vision, providing insight into their talent. They may write everything, whatever they think may be interesting and reflect their artistic point of view. Online museums of art are, in and of themselves, great web exhibitions. They have collections of masterpieces from all over the world. There are thousands of works of masters from all history, including Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Caravaggio, Raphael and others. Galleries of famous works are very important from both a cultural and education prospective. They include not only the most famous works, but they also have lessor-known paintings of famous painters. There also is available biographies of the masters and history of the particular piece. Online art sites also have information about classes, tools and supplies, news, etc. An interesting idea was to create activities for children. A range of activities for kids are included between other history lessons and color selection games. Kids may like painting technique demonstrations and drawing projects. Students probably will have a lot of fun imitating popular masters. Or, they may be happy using different styles on the base of masterpieces with tools, provided by these websites.

About Li Qing – a Chinese Artist
December 6th, 2009Li Qing was born on 1981 in Huzhou, Zhejiang province, China. He is a graduate student at China Academy of Art and one of the representatives of this new generation. Over the last few years his art has been included many important exhibitions and rewarded several grants and awards, due to his excellence of performance – the mastery of refined and personal technique, the wide social concerns, and the appropriate representation. Executed in the very traditional medium of oil on canvas, the generally mid-size paintings are usually paired pictures.
In Li Qing’s work juxtaposition usually occurs between two similar subject matters or scenes but in difference chronologically. The tension or relation between the two is usually the resource of concept of the work. In China’s art scene the juxtaposition of old and new, which reflects the remarkable social transition taking place over the last three decades, was/is popular. As the method exactly reflects the current identity of Chinese people who are surrounded by consistent remarkable transitions in a territory where old and new are mixed. The pairs of picture are seemingly the successive snapshots capturing the two moments of a seemingly consecutive event, a body, a face, a place, an object, or a person. There is very little difference between the two pictures at first sight, and there are several minor distinctions between two upon a careful scrutiny.
Li Qing is making a simple and easily accessible visual world where audience may exchange idea and share a common feeling. Many of the prototypes of contemporary Chinese art were heavy in their subject matter in order to express artists’ negative attitude towards the current corruptive system. Li Qing successfully presents a magic pictorial series of contemporary Chinese art. Simultaneously, psychological complexity toward the remarkable social transitions of China is easily understood. His art is a visual game but entwined with social information that reflects the vicissitudes of the society. The subject matter is ordinary, and unnoticed, some are like news photo for a propaganda purpose. He presents a picture that combine with images and reality. Grand rhetoric and heavy theme are non-exist. Li Qing is more interested with an ordinary scene that affects our perception to the world. Li Qing is a great practitioner of oil painter. With his bold brush stroke, exact impasto, and, he smartly turns the visual games and subject matter into his own painterly game, a pictorial world that reflects changing reality.
