About
Artist: Kelvin Hair
Observing art can provide a much needed refuge for reflection, sympathy, quietude, inspiration, and even ecstasy in this increasingly chaotic world. Looking further can deepen our knowledge of diverse cultures and artistic practice. Art can develop and hone observational skills, reveal insights into history, and even encourage creative, analytical, and autonomous thinking. The best way to learn more about anything is to look closely and ask a lot of questions. Imagine, just for a minute, a world without art! Art stimulates different parts of our brain to make us laugh or incite us to riot, with a whole gamut of emotions in between. Art gives us a way to be creative and express ourselves.
Ralwins Art Gallery is purposed with the recognition and promotion of great artistic talent, creating an awareness of art within the community, art lovers and collectors by showcasing good quality art works and providing a platform for interaction between artists and prospective clients. Our gallery is seriously involved in the promotion of upcoming and emerging artists whose work, along with being of high quality, is affordable and collectible.
