About Fractal Dragon Art Gallery
In October we showed watercolors by well known Cusqueñan artist Manuel Gibaja Gonzales. You can see pictures from the inauguration in our facebook album.
In September we again showed works by Titus Bovenberg, resident of Peru and citizen of The Netherlands, in our feature exhibition space. You can see a sampling of his works in facebook and our entire inventory of his works for sale in our virtual gallery.
We are constantly refreshing the gallery and our web page. Lately we've made changes to the virtual gallery to make it easier to buy artwork from the gallery using PayPal. We understand that it is a matter of trust: buying an artwork from our gallery via the internet. Indeed, ALL of our internet purchases so far have been from visitors to our gallery in Cusco who subsequently have decided to buy something they saw on display while in Cusco. We welcome you to visit and inquire about artwork on display in the virtual gallery.
About the Gallery
Our artist in residence and director is Maria Elena Mendoza Altamirano who has shown, sold and taught art for 25 years. Through Elena's contacts in the art community, we've expanded the gallery’s offering to many contemporary artists throughout Peru and South America.
An advantage in having the art gallery in our own home at Q’hapchikijllu 175 (previously Calle Arequipa), is that we can hang artwork not only in the gallery space, but also in the corridors and balconies and every other space that is reasonably secure, protected from sunlight and the weather and not rented to another business.
The gallery shares space with various shops, Dragon's Palate Restaurant and the Tupac Inca Yupanqui Cultural Center at 159 Calle Arequipa/Q’hapchikijllu. From the patio one can access both the ground and 2nd floor levels of the Fractal Dragon Art Gallery. We opened the ground floor of the physical gallery in April 2009 and expanded into large exhibition rooms on the 2nd floor in September 2009.
We show new promising artists as well as well known artists from Cusco and the rest of Peru throughout the year in the in both the first and second floor galleries.
We sell art through the physical gallery in Cusco as well as on-line. If you have questions concerning the gallery you may write an email to the director (see sidebar).
