new design release : stone with featured artist Jaume Pinya

Heavybubble has released a new design called stone.

The new design includes a text option on the gallery opener. Artist Jaume Pinya of Majorca, Spain uses it to provide an description in both Catalan and English. The gallery view uses a smaller view of an entire art work. Each gallery screen contains only four images/works and includes links to the next and previous four images. The design centers in browser window.

Mr Pinya cleverly used a gallery opener to create a statement screen that included two photos.

Lace in Translation, a new exhibition of contemporary work that explores the intersection of luxurious hand-craftsmanship with modern, mass production.

This is the story of a hands on movement that saw no boundaries and made work of all kinds that have influenced a generation.
