Over the years Artcatto has prided itself on showing only the very best in international contemporary art based out of our gallery in Loulé, Algarve. More recently we have worked closely with the artists we represent, to exhibit a selection of artwork, which is more accessible and affordable to a wider audience.

These works can be purchased and securely shipped to you directly from our website.
These works consist of mainly fine and professionally produced signed limited edition serigraph prints, some are unique hand finished work. We will also include smaller original pieces and artwork by emerging artists too. We will be updating the site each week with new artworks.

Artcatto’s dedicated team are always on hand to answer any questions regarding the artwork offered in this section or indeed on all works on our website, including advice on framing and any shipping concerns.

Christian Gaillard has won many prestigious awards for his work, the most notable being First Prize, Real Maestranza de Caballer’a de Sevilla, Grand Prix de Peinture which was presented to him by the grandfather of the King of Spain, Don Juan de Bourbon. His work is in collections in France, Spain and the USA and his exhibitions have been as widespread as Hong Kong, Singapore, USA, Mexico, Madagascar and Europe.

Gaillard amazed his collectors and admirers with his extraordinary technique. He resided in France and continued to impress the art world with his incredible work until the day of his death, on the 9th of August in 2018.

Light that caresses the petals of a flower, light that renders a simple white cloth into a luminescent creature draped across a chair, light breaking through a window and grazing on succulently ripe cherries overflowing in a bowl, light as a languid blanket over a slumbering figure. This is Colin Fraser’s world – he has always been enchanted by light.

Colin works primarily in egg tempera. A medium used by the likes of Michelangelo that originates from the Middle Ages, egg tempera is a time-honoured method whereby powdered pigment is mixed with egg yolk and water. Using egg tempera is extraordinarily time-consuming. Every square inch of the surface must be constructed little by little, layer by layer. The paint dries instantaneously and unlike oils, cannot be manipulated.

Shen Ming draws his inspiration from the ancient traditions, crafts and culture of the tribes of the Miao, Yao and Dong of the remote GuangXi region. The huge changes China is currently undergoing is putting enormous strain on the ancient way of life in these villages and as the young people migrate to cities it makes one wonder how long these cultures can survive.

Each tribe has a quite unique tradition in dress and adornment from the other. The young girls sew everything entirely by hand and their jewelry is crafted in the village.
