July 2010 / Mark McFadden - Limited EditionsDebut of the future Master??? A relative newcomer to the artistic world, Mark's work is fabulous and already attracting lots of attention. Without any classical training his work is different, unaffected and pure. So is his style. Oil on large canvas, rich texture produced by palette knife, intense colors and millions of tones. Not so simple to reproduce. And Mark's words? March 2010 / Slovak National GalleryContrary to scanning of documents, books and films, scanning of paintings requires years of experience with a sound knowledge of painting structure, pigments, forms of illumination and angle of scanning. This was one of the reasons, why the Slovak National Gallery selected Art Petrus to digitize one of their most valuable paintings. We used the Cruse Transportable Museum Scanner and our proprietary image processing system to create high fidelity images of works by Mednyansky, Jasusch, Benka, Fulla, Bazovsky, Vredeman de Vries, Domenico di Pace Beccafumi, Salomon van Ruysdael, Bonifacio Veronese Pitati, Carravagio... February 2010 / Katarína Vavrová - Limited EditionsArt Petrus is proud to produce first ever limited editions for this very talented painter and graphic artist from Slovakia with highly poetical, imaginative, dreamlike and very suggestive themes. The quality of detail and draughtsmanship is extraordinarily well visible and requires highly skilled approach to digitization and printing. Another challenge is a color. And result? Please ask Katarina.
