Editor’s Letter

Dear Readers, Once again, I am delighted to have the privilege to introduce such phenomenal artists to you.

If you have not come across The Discerner yet, I am happy to let you know that our publication has been created with the aim of giving extremely talented individuals the opportunity to display their work on a ‘printed’ international art gallery.

As you can see, most of the pieces are supported by a QR code for you to make a purchase easily, in case you would fall in love with one of them.

Remember that each piece is unique, so hurry to avoid any disappointment!

Simon, Stephen, Svein, Scott, Ian, Richard and Thomas are all fantastic gentlemen, so please do not hesitate to contact them, as I am sure they would be pleased to discuss their work in further details with you.

Thank you for contacting me at celine@thediscerner.co.uk, if you wish to be invited to the wonderful art events hosted by The Discerner.

Kindest regards

Celine Gaurier-Joubert

In my work I combine painting, collage and decollage (cutting or sanding away the built up surface to reveal layers below). I free associate cut up text and images to create a self contained scenario with its own reality. I’m a big fan of haiku and the gentle playfulness that helps us view everyday life with fresh eyes.
