Simplicity: Garboushian Gallery – Interfanatic Customer Spotlight

The epitome of sophistication is utter simplicity.

Maya Angelou

Lady Maya comes through with THE TRUTH. As always.

Keep it simple, stupid. The most beautiful things in life appear simple. A sunset, a gorgeous lbd, an incredible F1 car, phenomenal art, a great website.

They all appear simple. They just work.

And prose. The best poetry isn’t complicated. It is the result of malicious editing. Hours for a single sentence or paragraph. The result, the concision, the pointed nature – it all looks so simple. What we read, in fact, is most often the result of a great and complex task with many, many hours of work and planning that went into creating that illusion of simplicity.

Sure, sometime things come together and just work. But usually, even then it is but a culmination of a flogged talent.

We strive for simplicity. We try to make sure it always looks like it, even when it’s not.

Like our home page. No fancy videos or scrolling effects. Black and white. A clear concise message. That’s what we’re about. No distractions.

Simplicity allows you to focus on the important.

Simplicity: An Interfanatic Quality

Many people don’t understand that simplicity is the result of hard work. They see only surface deep and believe that because it looks simple, it must be. But we know better. Were it simple, everyone would do it.

We’re working on a project now that is the culmination of a great many gears trying to gnash together. When we’re finished, the goal is that it will appear simple. But getting it there was not simple.

Like the F1 car. Hundreds of thousands of hours go into making it easy for Lewis Hamilton to appear to cruise to victory on Sunday. Or Pollack. Anybody can splatter paint on a wall. But it will not be so pleasing to the eye, or easing of the mind as a Jackson Pollack. Or Chanel. There are thousands of dress makers out there trying to make a beautiful dress that fits many women, making them feel beautiful. But the simplicity of Coco Chanel’s cuts – the result of hundreds of thousands of trials – is unmistakable.

When I think of simplicity bringing out sophistication, I immediately think of my friend Herair and his Beverly Hills art gallery, GARBOUSHIAN GALLERY.

He keeps it all very simple, very clean. Like our website, his is black and white. His website is a reflection of his gallery. He keeps it simple. The result: the art shines.

Garboushian Gallery – Simplicity and Sophistication in the Modern Art Scene

Everything about Garboushian Gallery is understated. As a result, your eye focuses on what is important – the art.

Garboushian gets up-and-coming artists from all over the world. He brings in art from people whose art goes on to be heavily collected and valuable. Because it’s good.

Sometimes its colorful, sometimes it’s social commentary, sometimes it’s a beautiful sculpture. But in his mind, it is all under rated.

So he makes his website and gallery a canvas on which the art can shine. He keeps it simple.

“…we completed regular updates to the GARBOUSHIAN GALLERY website for many years. His website flourished because it was regularly updated.”

Garboushian came to us about a decade ago, and we completed regular updates to the gallery website for many years. His website flourished because it was regularly updated.

We updated their website. It was simple.

A tree is simply resolute. The tree’s function is simple. And the tree is important to our lives. Without trees, our earth crumbles. We’re watching as the ocean temperature rises, our trees and plants all burn. They’ll keep coming back, but for how long? The answer is simple. We have to begin yesterday. The temperature won’t suddenly get cooler.

Natural beauty takes at least two hours in front of a mirror.

Pamela Anderson

Ms. Anderson’s quote is fantastic.

It’s funny. And it’s axiomatic.

Natural Beauty = Hard Work

“Natural beauty” – beauty that’s just right – takes a lot of hard work. It takes talent to envision. It takes work to enact.

Just like artwork, a great website is born layer by layer. Look at your favorite websites from around the world. How do they look? Are they busy? Are they simple? Do they convey a huge amount of information quickly and easily?

They say a picture is worth 1,000 words. And sometimes it is. Other times, one word sums it up well.

What does your website say about you?

Herair Garboushian of Garboushian Gallery knows exactly what his website says about his Beverly Hills art gallery. He carefully chooses the artists he works with. He invests time in them, in their preparation, in understanding them and in understanding what drives their art. He carefully curates the paintings to go up for show. He invests time in placement, and order, and how people see the art. So that it is presented as his artists wants it to be presented. And, like his gallery, he makes sure that every pixel on his website is exactly where he wants it to be.

Garboushian has a taste for great art. He admires the art his friend, Jim Morphesis, produces. And as a collector himself, he knows art. He knows what collectors want. And when it comes to Modern Art, that’s not such an easy thing to know.

Spotting the next big thing is the difference between a $700 canvas collecting dust and a $150,000,000 masterpiece gathering attention and bidders at auction. Herair Garboushian can spot that diamond in the rough.

Garboushian is always as particular with his website as he is with his gallery. His instructions are precise because he wants to be sure his site visitors, just like his gallery visitors, can focus on the beauty in front of them.

It just looks… right.

To many people, “that just looks right.” But artists, art connoisseurs, and website designers know, that “just” looks right is the result of practiced talent, careful consideration, and applied skill.

“That just looks right” is most often the result of countless painstaking hours of precise work.

Check out Garboushian Gallery to see what I mean.
