WHY IS IT WORTH SEEING A PAINTING IN PERSON?

You can view the painting on the screen of your phone, computer, or tablet. You can examine its colors, zoom in on details, and read information about the artist. Yet the image on the screen is still only part of the true experience. In person, you perceive its actual size. You see how it looks in the space, how its colors change depending on the light, and what its surface texture is like. You can notice brushstrokes, layers of paint, and details that are easy to overlook in a photograph. Some paintings catch your eye immediately online. Others, on the other hand, don’t speak to you until you’re standing right in front of them. You might find that it’s larger than you expected. You might be surprised by its subtlety. You might notice a color that was barely visible in the photo. And sometimes, a painting that didn’t catch your eye at all online will make you stop in your tracks at the gallery. That’s exactly why brick-and-mortar galleries still have their place. At Original Gallery, you can come without a specific shopping list. You don’t have to know exactly what you’re looking for. You can simply stroll among the paintings, look around, and let the individual works speak to you. You don’t have to be an art expert. You don’t have to know all the techniques or art movements. All it takes is for a painting to speak to you. Sometimes it’s the color. Other times, it’s the atmosphere, the motif, or the feeling it evokes in you. And sometimes you simply don’t know why, but you want to look at it again. People often don’t choose a painting based on a list of characteristics. They choose it because it makes them feel something. Come see the paintings in person at the Original Gallery in the Adria Palace in Prague. Maybe you’ll just stop by for a moment. And maybe you’ll leave with a painting you didn’t even know existed before your visit. Original Gallery
