\"The<\/a>TheOneRing.net is excited to announce that among the over 30 artists contributing work to \u2018An Unexpected Art Show\u2019, award-winning fantasy artist\u00a0Donato Giancola<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>will be in attendance!\u00a0Celebrating\u00a0The Hobbit<\/em>,\u00a0The Lord of the Rings\u00a0<\/em>and J.R.R. Tolkien\u2019s Middle-earth, \u2018An Unexpected Art Show\u2019 will feature inspired art pieces \u2014 from paintings, drawings, and illustrations to prints \u2014 from a variety of artists.<\/p>\n

Donato creates truly stunning oil paintings\u00a0blending Renaissance\u00a0craftsmanship with the inspiring world of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth. As John Howe himself said in 2010,<\/p>\n

\n

“There’s more to Donato Giancola’s art than just a pretty face. Underneath\u00a0the incredibly meticulous surface of his paintings is concealed a love of\u00a0perspective and form, an intimate understanding of the human body, a\u00a0historian’s knowledge of costume and armour, an infallible sense of\u00a0implicit narrative, visual storytelling and mythical history. It’s just\u00a0that you’re so rapt gazing at all the mind-blowingly pretty bits that you\u00a0tend to miss it. Look again. There’s a lot more to see.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"J.R.R.<\/a>Donato will be on hand with limited edition gicl\u00e9e prints available including his newest commission, an incredibly detailed portrait of J.R.R. Tolkien<\/a> himself.<\/p>\n
