Who runs Wotartist
WOTARTIST is an art gallery run by
professional and practising artists. Designed with ease-of-use foremost as a
consideration, Wotartist's raison d'être is to bring the best American, British, and more modern art and contemporary
artists currently exhibiting on the internet from search engine obscurity and
hopefully to enjoy greater exposure. Wotartist's interface was born of the
desire to democratise the exposure of artists' sites and to ensure that all the
artists listed could be viewed in under 3 minutes.
Determined to make it easier for the art loving public to find contemporary Modern art and artists' websites
we knew we didn't want them buried on multiple sub-pages of our site. It was by
finding a solution to the age old problem of image download times that we were
at last able to list all our artists' websites, together with 3 sample images,
(on page refresh a new image will show).
Art websites
Wotartist tracks the number of unique visits that click through to every artists' website so we are able to organise their position on each page according to the number of visits their art sites receive from wotartist, with those with the least visits at any given moment being exhibited at the top of the page. As a consequence all the artists listed on wotartist enjoy equal exposure.
Contemporary artists' websites
The aim of WOTARTIST has always been to create a unique grouping of the best artists exhibiting on the Internet. Of course this begs the question, How exclusive a gallery do we want to be? WOTARTIST is perhaps unique for being an art gallery run by professional and practicing artists. We more than most are acutely aware through personal experience of the elitism that can permeate many art institutions and have been rigorous in our determination to avoid this with our WOTARTIST project. We are not arbiters of taste nor wish to present a manufactured ideal of aesthetic with which we wish to be associated. Our selection criteria hopes to maintain the broadest possible parameters for inclusion and at the same time bring only the best artists from search engine obscurity to the wider viewing public. It is our view that art that "expresses the individual" and is investigative will be included and art that feels formulaic will not.
Fine art pages
The modern painters and sculptors on wotartist are divided into continent regions. Each artists name is a link directly to their websites. Under each artist name is the name of the category under which they have chosen to be listed. These are links to category pages, for example, Abstract Art or Illustration. From these pages you can access the info link which will lead you to their individual pages, which in the majority of cases you will be able to view up to three samples of each artists' work.
Anna Anjos
Anna Anjos was born in march of 1985, in São Paulo, Brazil. Since her early days she preferred pencils and papers than conventional toys. Her first work was at age 10 where she had the opportunity to create the internal drawings of her mother's book.
In 2006 she graduated as a graphic designer at Belas Artes/SP. Her interest for cinema developed yet at her academic period.
She became researcher of the Scientific Initiation Program in Cinematographic Language and Video Design in 2005 which made possible the development of a more critical look towards the audio-visual media, researching the movie "Spider" (David Cronenberg, 2002).
She worked as a colorist and designer at Fabrica de Quadrinhos and Hiperquimica, acting for many advertising agencies in Brazil.
In 2008 took part in the development of a graphic project for the Festival Latino-americano de Publicidade, the “El Ojo de Iberoamerica”. Still in the same year, was invited to take part in the Jam Session HQMIX, developing together with other artists the comic strip project named “O Crime do Teishouko Preto”, which will be published in 2009 by Devir publisher.
Oil painting tips
Quite recently wotartist introduced an artist submitted art school tips section. Painting tips range from topics such as, oil painting techniques, oil painting mediums, framing oil paintings, charcoal drawing techniques, pencil drawing techniques, sketching drawing techniques, drawing people and more can be found by following the Art School link. Art painting tips can also be browsed from links at the bottom of every artists' page and every art business page. Submission of interesting art tips is open to all. We do, however, only publish those that in our view will contribute to this educational resource.
Email cards
On the greeting card page there are hundreds of fine art email cards that are free to use and send to friends and family for all occasions. This is a great way to help promote individual artist whose work you particularly like, as the recipient is able to access the artist's website from the greeting card that they receive.
Art business
On the art rescource page you will find numerous art business websites that can be of great value to artists.
