Welcome to

De Stijl Art Gallery

​

“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.”  

Edgar Degas

​

We have completed a new art rotation. There are many local artists and three estate consignments. 

The De Stijl Art Gallery is located in Ruskin, FL and is the newest and most unique gallery in the South Hillsborough County art community.

This gallery is distinctive in its presence for it occupies what is a unique architectural building design commissioned by the Observer Dispatch Newspaper in 1976. In compliment this building has become a piece of art itself as it is painted in the style of Piet Mondrian commemorating the De Stijl Neo Plastic movement of 1920. The gallery will represent established and emerging local artists providing an opportunity to own a distinct piece of art.

In addition; one of the gallery’s mission points is to encourage art development which encompasses eco or "Green" elements versus just the normal techniques found in sculpture or painting.

De Stijl (pronounced de style) Art Gallery has just completed a new art rotation from January through April. 

​

Our plan is to keep a dynamic gallery motion and accommodate the vast amount of amzing local talent. 

​

The artwork ranges from sculpture through the traditional oils, acrylics, watercolors and pastels. New this month is designer jewelry.

​

Exhibiting artists will; during each rotation swap out some of their artwork during that time in the gallery to provide unseen works as well as new artists' works to the gallery that will be available for purchase.

We continue to welcome new artists. Please contact the gallery for an appointment. You can also email us with some information and a few photos of your artwork. 

Mid-Century Modern

Elementen van kunst in stijl. 

Art elements in style.

Mid-century modern (MCM) is an American design movement that was popular approximately from 1945 to 1969. The early seventies can also be considered MCM. It was a design movement in interior designs, products such as paintings, sculptures, glass and architecture of both businesses and homes. 

​

Stylish art elements for your home. High quality vintage pieces - home decor, lighting and furniture.

The De Stijl Art Gallery understands that artwork in and of itself is an element of one's home and environment; keeping with that the gallery is offering the elements of home decor, lighting and furniture which will compliment art available through the gallery. Stylish furniture and lighting are in keeping with the design styles of Mid-Century Modern. Simple, clean natural wood and designer quality desired by interior decorators. In essence, an artistic presentation is more than what is hung on the wall. 

What's new

We are accepting new art from our current artists and from new artists that would like to consign with us. Our next rotation will be from January until April.

​

Some of you may be wondering why the style of paint décor on the outside of the building.

This is based on the art work of Piet Mondrian. Piet Mondrian is a Dutch painter best known for being one of the founders of the De Stijl (de style) which incorporated an art movement that worked around abstract works and the new art forms that were being introduced to the world in the early 20th century.

​

De Stijl is Dutch for "The Style", also known as Neoplasticism. It was a Dutch art movement founded in 1917 in Leiden, Amsterdam. De Stijl consisted of artists and architects. In a narrower sense, the term De Stijl is used to refer to a body of work from 1917 to 1931 founded in the Netherlands. Proponents of De Stijl advocated pure abstraction and universality by a reduction to the essentials of form and color. They simplified visual compositions to vertical and horizontal, using only black, white and primary colors.
