      <link>http://www.dot-art.co.uk/pages/artists/artist.php?artistId=47</link>
      <description>chris is a designer by profession and his fascinating and unusual work reflects
      these sensibilities. these delicate images are digitally produced, a fact which rather than hide
      or shy away from, the artists celebrates. he aims to show the creation of the piece in the
      marks made and left behind, in a similar fashion to a more traditional artist leaving marks
      from a paintbrush.

      <description>for those of you who missed it in the daily post a couple of weeks ago,
      dot-art were featured as a success story for the 08 business connect club which aims to allow businesses
      to take advantage of the opportunities offered by the capital of culture, as our first artists sponsorship deal
      with alexander james executive search came about through contacts made using the network. artist garry lawlan was
      chosen by the firm, who are now renting his fantastic work the liver bird, and have commissioned him to
      produce an accompanying piece.

      watercolours for many years creating detailed studies of wildlife and flowers,
      exhibiting and selling in bristol and then kent.
      after moving back to merseyside she discovered a new way of using oils which gives the

       her paintings in an art cafe she manages for the past three years.
       customers love her use of colour and unique style.

      <title>new artist - gillian durnan</title>
      <link>http://www.dot-art.co.uk/pages/artists/artist.php?artistId=81</link>
      <description>gillian durnan studied art and design in manchester and liverpool,
      graduating in 2004 with a first class honours degree in fine art with music.
      using photography, drawing and painting techniques, mainly sourced from nature
      and the human figure, images are further manipulated with digital software.
the artist uses brightly saturated colours and bold imagery for printing directly onto
acrylic sheets. this technique involves printing images at high resolution onto acrylic,
using state of the art print machines. pieces are mounted away from the wall with
architectural fixings, allowing illumination from natural light sources.
mounted in this way, images convey a high-tech, contemporary feel.

      <title>Tomorrow is THANK YOU ART DAY - 20% discount at the gallery!</title>
      <link>http://www.dot-art.co.uk</link>
      <description>To celebrate Thank You Art day on Friday 9th March, dot-art is
      delighted to offer all our customers 20% off all art work in our gallery, all
      day tomorrow! Just come down to Oriel Close, off Water Street and quote "Thank you Art".
"39 Art Day" (Thank You Art Day) is a special day to appreciate, promote, and otherwise positively engage
ourselves in contemporary art worldwide. 39 Art Day was initiated by a Germany-based
Japanese artist Yoshiaki Kaihatsu (www.yoshiakikaihatsu.com ) in 2000 to foster the
appreciation of contemporary art in Japan, the country where support for contemporary art
is still weak at best, if not altogether absent.
In Japanese, "thank you" rhymes with 3/9 (san-kyuu), because there is no "th" sound in
Japanese and the Japanese people tend to pronounce "th" as "s." Thus, the Day of 39 Art on March 9.
See www.39art.com  and www.artinliverpool.com for more details.
