IW: Art.sy


Art.sy is a free website that works with hundreds of galleries from around the world to display and help you discover artwork and artists. If you're in close proximity to someone from Art.sy right now, please firmly hug them.

The collection is extensive and allows you to search through by artist name, style or movement, medium, even colour and size. They also recommend similair artists based on what you're looking at helping you to discover new work. Mediums include Sculpture, Painting, Work on Paper/Print, Photography, Performance, Film/Video, Installation, and Drawing. I appreciate very much the variety of work - everything from the Renaissance to pop art, traditional mediums to computer art. Viewers can also examine the art from a gallery view (as if standing in a room) or up close with the ability to zoom in to examine paint strokes.

Anyway, incredible site and absolutely worth a look. Who knows what you'll find...
