Welcome to the latest Art-el Gallery newsletter, it's great to see the creative community has emerged from a long hard winter and that things in the art world are springing back to life with some amazing projects & shows going on around the globe.
Here's a round up of new work recently added to the site and also our latest news and other dates for your diary.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Firstly it was pleasing to see strong results at the recent Dreweatts/Bloomsbury Contemporary Art Auction for Art-el artist's Dora & Mr Jago whose pieces both sold for well above the estimate. Dora's elegant subjects on natural wood, combining classic illustrative work with screen print and gold leaf continue to gain many admirers and collectors around the world.
She is currently working on a new body of work which will be unveiled at her first solo show in London early next year. You will find a selection of Dora’s available work under her section on the website.

Huge things are on the horizon for Mr Jago beginning with his involvement in STROKE02 to be held in Munich from 27-30 of this month where his work will feature along with new pieces from Roa, Kinsey, Herakut, Case, Jose Parla, Greg Simpkins & more.

We are pleased to announce the imminent release of a new screen print from Andy Council following on from his sold-out solo show at Weapon of Choice, Bristol, his feature in Juxtapoz and his participation in number of high profile shows in the States. It is a beautiful gold screen print on black Astralux paper produced in a very exclusive signed edition of only 25.

In addition we are also delighted to share that after a recent studio visit to ChinaMike we will soon be releasing a series of new originals that have just been completed. Following his successful addition to the POW roster China is now getting some of the shine that his work warrants. The new work that we have is a complete departure and new direction following the phenomenal success of the 'Dog portrait' series of works. He is another who has enjoyed a lot of recent success stateside.

Boswell also breaks new ground this month by being the first of our artists to show in Finland where his work will feature at 'Wild Life', Helsinki 14-16 May where he will also be painting live.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other news hot off the press, next month will see the first solo show from Pedro Matos titled 'Reality Show' which will open at Lisbon's fantastic Montana gallery opening on 4th June. June will also see the release of his first print which has been produced by masters in their field Harwood King and from what we have seen so far it is going to be a beauty.
His first set of works on the site are now all sold out and some have found their way into some very interesting collections indeed. We will however have new work available in conjunction with the release of his print.
