st-Art presents: “A stroke of Ben Hartman”

5 Aug – 20 Sept 2024 Closing event 12 Sept.  6pm st-Art Gallery Kinkerstraat 2, Amsterdam Ben Hartman is a Marketing Creative Director from London who has lived in Amsterdam for the last 14 years. He came over on a freelance advertising project as a copywriter and never went back. It must be the glorious weather of the Netherlands. Ben worked as a writer, Creative Director and Executive Creative Director (very important position) at some of Amsterdam’s best ad agencies, winning plenty of awards in the process. A year ago, while still working as a Creative Director, Ben had some art ideas he wanted to get down on paper. So, he did – at St-Art gallery & studio. Then he had some more ideas. And some more. Funny ones. Colorful ones. Charming ones. Ugly ones. Rude ones. And lots and lots of crap ones. These ideas are what you see on the walls of St-Art today, apart from the crap ones of course. Check out Ben’s artworks and prices here   “At st-Art we are pleased to promote and endorse whoever has a solid concept or idea to propose and Ben’s art is perfectly matching our expectations. I met Ben […]

Evanescence is Strength

From 5 August to 30 September 2022, three extremely talented artists exhibit  at the Civic Museum of Santa Chiara in Noto:  Silvia Berton, Alessandro Costagliola and Vincenzo Zarbo Friday 5 August, at 6.30 pm the opening of the exhibition curated by Vincenzo Medica, founder of Studio Barnum contemporary, discoverer and promoter of artistic talents and Carlo Tozzi, founder of st-Art, an international company based in Amsterdam that promotes established artists and acts as an incubator for emerging artists.  The three authors and the curators discussed the theme of Evanescence seen as a virtue, expressed in a visually different way, but producing the same effect on the observer: Inner Strength and Energy.  Evanescence as an abstraction from reality, perceived as transparency that generates isolation, is an extremely widespread condition in artists and in the subjects they represent. Despite this, the power of these three artists is to represent evanescent subjects, but strong, isolated but only apparently, actually showing a vigour of expression and a great inner balance.  Silvia Berton in her works expresses a physical evanescence, but a great inner strength. Her subjects are young women whose beauty and fragility exude from the pale faces created by the artist. Nonetheless, they […]
