[ A Letter To Galleries ... ]

To Whom It May Concern,

I’ve been working on reconstructing and refining my imagery for more than ten years now.  It has always been my hopes to refine my craft closer to the old masters, which so many revere, yet in current, modern context.

My paintings are intended to work two fold; One objective, has always been a illustrious, sensuous  surface, one where the traditional notion of beauty is revealed.  And the second objective is a conceptual undertaking where the non-physical entities reconcile within reality.

I hope you can enjoy this review per the reproductions provided online.  Of course, it almost goes without saying, that I curiously await for any exhibition opportunities as they may come available in the future.


Sincerest Regards,

Chris Garko
