Der Haroutunian Gallery is thrilled to announce the arrival of a stunning batch of paintings by the hugely talented contemporary South African artist Schalk van der Merwe.
We have added a few to our website already and will be adding the others to the site over time.
In the meantime if you wish to see the others please email the gallery at info@derharoutuniangallery.com and we'd be happy to forward the details of all the paintings.
Der Haroutunian Gallery would like to introduce you to our new gallery artist, David Evans.
We are delighted to have six stunning landscape paintings by David now added to our website.
David says "My artistic driving force is my continued obsession with four motifs - people, bicycles, buildings and landscape. I sometimes interpret these singly or coalesced within one work. The underlining inspiration for a good deal of my work comes from re-working and distorting quite traditional themes from art, literature, poetry and music. I like to jump the margins between illustration and fine art. Sifting recently through my work, observations, ideas and responses, I think it’s fair to say that I see life, art and my surroundings in a somewhat quirky and whimsical visual way…"
The works can be seen in the link below:

Delighted to have received four fabulous new paintings from the acclaimed American contemporary painter, William Wray. They have been added to the site today and are all priced under £1,000, so an ideal opportunity to acquire a piece for your collection!
Prior to becoming a full-time artist, William Wray enjoyed a successful career as both cartoonist and animator, including spells with Disney, Hanna-Barbera and Marvel. Over recent years his focus has turned to paint as a medium for chronicling and reflecting the ongoing changes to the urban landscape of his native California which he knows so well. Abstract and contemporary, Wray’s oil paintings document a world in flux and yet contain a commonality and resonance which transcends parochial categorisation and geographical or topographical boundaries. In avoiding purely nostalgic renderings, Wray challenges the viewer to consider wider socio-political issues through his work.
Wray’s formative experiences were cosmopolitan as the family moved between Maryland, Europe and South East Asia before settling in California. After studying at Art school in New York he eventually relocated to the West Coast where he currently resides. Having been garlanded with critical praise for his exhibitions, Wray now finds his paintings in increasing demand from a worldwide collector base. Whilst his unique blend of urban realism and abstraction is his predominant focus, he is also recognised for his figure, interior and flower paintings. He is a respected member of both the Oil Painters of America and the California Art Club.
