So, one of the goals of KK was to make it possible to never have to physically visit a gallery. To accomplish this goal we have added a zoom feature to our art work that is just incredible.

From Sophia’s hurt you can see the canvas and brush strokes. If you wanted to, you could reconstruct the artists painting brush stroke by brush stroke using this zoom tech.

Check out the different works on the site to see the detail.

Being able to document your own artwork is essential as an artist. There are two reasons why you want to create pictures of your own art: One, is to generate interest in seeing the actual work if you people can not see it in person, nine times out of ten you will not have the opportunity to show your original work; the other is with websites like KounterKulture it is possible to see every detail of the work so that collectors do not have to see the work in person. This last aspect will save everyone time and money which can only help you with sales.

When the idea for KounterKulture was first conceived, the driving idea was to replace the traditional gallery experience. A key part of that vision is to allow access into the artists’ studio.
