News from the Artists
Alex Storer added a new gallery of a very different kind of artwork, to a website dedicated to pioneering British musician, Peter Gabriel. Experience synaesthesia, which is best described as a "union of the senses" - and is basically associating colours or sensations with sounds or words. He illustrates a number of Peter Gabriel songs, which have significant colours, textures and shapes in his mind’s eye, thus creating a gallery of interesting and unusually inspired artwork. http://thegabrielroom.free.fr/gabrielArtHome.htm
