I discovered UGallery when putting together the post featuring art blog Curate 1K. The virtual gallery, based in SF, has been around for over four years. The owners, gallery director Alex Farkas, creative director Greg Rosborough, and operations director Stephen Tannenbaum, are young entrepreneurs who met while studying business and art history in college, and ultimately decided to morph heir class project into a business.
The gallery’s social media manager, Kurt Yalcin, wrote me such a nice thank you, and invited me to be a guest pinner on UGallery’s Be Art Guest Pinterest board this week. My theme is “Women Obscured.” Images include works in which women’s faces or bodies are obscured in some way, be it from a mask, blurriness, scribbles/drips/collage, under water, back turned, only legs in the frame, head down, hidden behind flowers or mist, or her own hair.
I will start pinning around noon, so be sure to click over and have a look. But first, scroll through these photographs, my favorites offered on UGallery. There are a few I’m thinking of purchasing. (The prices are very affordable; thse start at $50-$225.)
