GARY NICHOLLS Art Public Relations– STEAMPUNK FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHER & AUTHOR
Gary Nicholls is a unique steampunk fine art photographer and author who we’ve worked with for a number of years.
Our focus for Gary’s PR campaign was not only to highlight his incredible talent as a fine art photographer.
But also to reveal his remarkable project ‘The Imaginarium’.
This impressive trilogy is a Dickens-style tale and told in a series of 150 fine art images in a trilogy of limited edition books.
Working with such an exceptional artist was a very exciting project.
That required a strong Art Public Relations campaign.
Straight thought out, one of the ideas to promote Gary’s work was to target specific areas in Shoreditch.
Using the location as a street canvas for Gary’s work.
For one night only Shoreditch became a gigantic backdrop for Gary to showcase his work.
Raising the profile of an artist is important for their reputation.
Not only in the art world but of course amongst galleries, curators, collectors, and buyers.

A record of the themes and obsessions that he chose to paint included people, places & dancers and visited locations from Brian’s life.

For all the great work these guys (especially Lisa Freeman and Pete Bassett) did for me over the six months.
Leading up to my first London solo exhibition.
The Art Public Relations campaign in national print magazines and radio coverage.
Really help raise awareness of the show and raise my personal media profile.

Dmitry Art (Artyukhin) Art Public Relations
Contemporary abstract artist Dmitry is an honest and passionate artist.
Who truly believes that art can help us to create positive and powerful emotions.
When we sit in front of a piece of art that magically captures our attention it can ignite so many different emotions translated from the artist to us. The German Expressionist Kandinsky reminded us how
‘The artist must train not only his eye but also his soul’ and Dmitry’s work seems to emanate from these precise thoughts.
Our focus for Dmitry’s was to raise his profile and drive traffic to his website.
To create a much more substantial virtual gallery walk-in.
Read Dmitry’s case study to find out more about Dmitry’s marketing objectives.
Testimonial

And what I liked the most – you really made it unique,.

Art Public Relations for Oenone Hammersley – Contemporary artist
At a time when the threat to our planet’s ecosystem has never been graver, award-winning artist Oenone Hammersley.
Has progressed from painting wildlife on paper to larger and more diverse images.
Of nature in oil on canvas to fantastical depictions of water.
Oenone Hammersley is a successful contemporary artist whose abstract and semi-abstract works.
Truly capture both the beauty and the hideous in our sadly diminishing world of wilderness and nature.
Testimonial
Quite Great are brilliant.
They managed to get me some of the best press I have ever had .
I would highly recommend them it you are looking for a PR firm.

Pink Floyd founder member Syd Barrett
A classic example of some of the work conducted through Quite Great, relates to the auction of legendary Pink Floyd founder member Syd Barrett and his art.
Following his untimely death and the vast array of media that covered the story,
Quite Great worked to assist in events and exhibitions.
He was an art student also and had known Waters since their childhood back in Cambridge.
Roger ‘Syd’ Barrett viewed himself primarily as a visual artist.
And after his Pink Floyd days devoted most of his time to painting.
After his last solo performances, Syd returned to his first love.
And spent the rest of his life painting and drawing at home in Cambridge.
The Quite Great team have also worked with the likes of Mick Rock on unique limited edition art.
ARTS FOR INDIA EXHIBITION
We are also honoured to have worked with the likes of Arts for India in their mission to help underprivileged young Indian people.
And lead a way out of poverty for them via the provision of Education in Art and Creative Design
To an international standard.
Quite Great PR and promotion helped with the awareness building for one of their yearly events.
Held at the Saatchi Gallery in London.
The inspirational nature of this organisation is evident in the clarity of the message as outlined below through Quite Great.
