Welcome to Brilliance Gallery

Welcome to Brilliance Gallery, the only place online where you can acquire the Neo-Impressionist, abstract artwork offered by acclaimed Algorithmic Artist and Innovator, Peter McClard. Peter is an industry-leading algorist and his wall art often defies description but two words will come to mind when you see it and those are: beautiful and original. His artist-certified works are guaranteed to be a highly prized addition to your collection (or a friend's or loved one's as a very special gift). Each original art piece is comprised of thousands of fine details, amazing color palettes and is created using a proprietary process that only Peter fully understands. Peter’s mission is to make his art affordable and Brilliance Gallery is dedicated to providing you with the highest quality service and Museum Quality art you will enjoy living with for years to come. The art may be purchased as original works, limited editions, and as fine art prints on a variety of mediums including canvas, acrylic, paper, posters, or metal.

 Please support this amazing artist and spread the word! Peruse current gallery collections below and check back occasionally as works come and go. Don’t miss out on your opportunity to buy one of these extraordinary works at special online prices.

 Also, please follow us on Instagram #brilliance_galleries, @Brilliance_Galleries for hundreds of additional works. Let us know if you see something you like in this vast collection and we'll make it available here at BrillianceGallery.com!

 Artist and innovator Peter McClard is a pioneer in the field of algorithmic art, i.e. art that is meta-generated with special original software through the use of artist-controlled algorithms. With a rare combination of artistic and mathematical prowess, Peter was among the very first artists to explore this new medium starting in the 1980s and remains, unquestionably, one of the best and most recognizable. His art is impossible to imitate by others and often leaves art experts scratching their heads as to how exactly he does it, which is a closely guarded secret.

 Many of Peter’s works are based on photographs, art, or illustrations of people, animals, or objects, though he often draws or composes original abstract subjects for his process. A simple subject is his favorite because it allows the complex textures, colors, and forms of his art to heighten the beauty found in a simple thing and vice versa. As with many of the works on this site, Peter often works with iconic imagery of historical figures or images. Once he settles on a subject he will explore many variations using his unique process, often producing a closely related, yet astonishingly varied set of art (inquire about acquiring a highly valued full set). Also, he has been known to combine high-resolution photographic images with meta-generated art such as his spectacular Hubbleangelo series.

Because of the mathematical foundation of his work, Peter’s art has an eternal aspect (math never decays) and the powerful ability to scale to any size imaginable with no loss of quality because everything is described as a mathematical formula instead of “pixels”. These complex Master Files are then stored securely in an Escrow account from which a final rendering can be made to any specification. Inquire about obtaining rights to a Master File.

Where does Creative Drive Come From?

Why do artists do what they do? What compels them to constantly create so obsessively? For me, it’s a desire to make things that will inspire others and celebrate the beauty I see all around. I’ve always been one to not want my time to go to waste. But even so, one needs to stay inspired to be an artist. You have to actively seek inspiration and constantly be on the lookout (and look-in) for new ideas or you can hit a creative dry spell. Artistry requires constant practice and trial and error. But it’s OK, even beneficial, to take a rest too and become a receiver rather than a transmitter—balancing the yin and the yang. No true artist wants to simply copy others and we all seek to put forward work that reflects the aesthetics and insights that make us who we are. In a sense the creative drive is a primal drive to be heard and seen—to be recognized as a unique person with something to offer or a special talent to show the world. Yes, there is a certain amount of ego that goes into being an artist because it is presumptuous to think your creations are worthy of extra attention. We’ve seen plenty of artists with larger than life personalities such as famous Spaniards Dali and Picasso. It almost comes with the territory because you have to be willing to step up and put everything on the line to be an artist and open yourself up to the world of criticism, which takes a thick skin. So all I can determine is my own drive comes from deep within me and my desire to see something new. Some people have it and others don’t or perhaps they suppress it. The drive to create art is stronger in me than the drive to be “an artist.” I create mostly not expecting my art to be seen by others outside of my fans but knowing that for those who discover what I’ve done there will be a pleasant surprise is a motivator too. In the end, if the art is truly good, then it doesn’t matter what you call the person who made it or what motivated them. It stands on its own. I guess I’d call a person an artist if that’s how they make their living. Everyone else is an art maker who with a little luck could possibly become an artist. That’s me.

What Makes Vector Art So Special?

In the digital world, there are two main forms of art: Raster Art where we color in a fixed number of pixels on a screen like say with Photoshop and Vector Art where we color in mathematically defined shapes like with Illustrator. Raster art has its own special powers and allows the creation of photorealistic art with shading and incredible details, depending on the resolution. Both of these can be controlled with a computer to generate art using algorithms. However, only one of them is done independent of resolution—Vector Art. What does this mean? It means that no matter how large we render it or how high the resolution, we get a crystal clear image with sharp lines whereas if you blow up pixel art larger than intended, you will start to see jagged blocks and artifacts. Since my art is vector art, I can make it the size of a billboard or large mural with no loss of clarity. Not only that, but I often hide tiny details that won’t even be visible at smaller sizes but become apparent when shown larger and thus adds a greater impact. Yes, vector art is also limited and can’t do things that painters or pixel artists can do and it’s terrible at creating photorealism so the vector artist has to think differently. I don’t even try to be realistic and find it very liberating, opening a new kind of Impressionism and Abstraction that was not even possible before. This excites me because it allows the viewer to fill in the missing details with their imagination. Instead of a plain photo that anyone can take with their phone these days, you get a whole new thing that keeps certain aspects of the original image but introduces thousands of new details and shapes where the parts are almost as cool as the whole. One more thing I love about vector art is the files are relatively small. It takes less information to tell a computer what you want to draw than to describe what you already drew. For example a circle can be described with a center point, the radius of the circle and the desired color, three pieces of information. But if you rendered it, you’d need to store the color at each location within the circle which could be in the millions for a large circle at high resolution. This allows me to create and store many thousands of works and easily keep backups!

The jungle of art website creation

How to bring the mind blowing, original, vector artwork of inventor, master programmers and artist Peter McClard to market?   This is the task I was faced with in late 2016 when my collaboration with this friend/artist commenced.   Early on I contracted with one of the cheap "Build your own website" purveyors.  Several weeks into it, I came in contact with Barney Davey, art consultant who made me aware of the special requirements of websites specifically designed for selling art.   One of his suggestions was ArtStoreFronts.com. I did some research and liking what I read contacted them.  My Sales Specialist was Chris Pierce.  We had 2 consult calls followed by decision to move forward with a package plan.

Building the www.VectorArtLabs.com site was quite challenging initially but thanks to the in-depth and thorough content of their "Success Plan" guide and page links to specific on-topic instructions, it was quite doable.   Once and a while during the construction phase, I would get stuck and require assistance.  I was able to get past all the obstacles I encountered through their email support page where I would always receive next day answers to all questions. On occasion, I found myself needing to speak to support staff in person which was easy to arrange by setting call appointments. They even call you!

The entire Art Store Fronts program is set up to foster user success.   You work it at your own pace and it will work for you, even if you have no experience with website building.  I give the Customer Service staff at Art Store Fronts an A+ for the quality and level of service they provide.

And now back to stocking and selling the vector artwork of Peter McClard on our new www.VectorArtLabs.com website thanks to ArtStoreFronts.com .  Watch your inbox for the next volume of the Vector Variant.

Art Is Perfect for Online Art Purchasing

Art is one of those things you usually want to see in the real world to know exactly what you are getting. That’s how you can tell the real colors, the various details and the size of the art and how it feels in person. This is more true for painted works because photos can’t quite capture the texture and how it looks at different times of day or in different light conditions or angles.

Let’s face it, an online JPEG can never quite do justice to a work of art, especially a larger one. In fact, the larger the original, the more it is reduced online which tends to lose details and the whole feel of the art. That’s why there are still so many art galleries out there where you can “try before you buy,” so to speak. However, as you may know, that real-world experience comes at a cost because the gallery typically takes a 50% commission, boosting the price accordingly. That’s where online art purchasing shines—lower overhead brings lower artist-direct prices! Still, this leaves you with the issue of not exactly knowing what the work will look like when it arrives. Also, even though you may be getting a better price on a painting, the artist still needs to make a living and so will only lower the price so far which is appropriate.  My art on the other hand solves both of these problems because of the methods I’ve developed over many years. My goal has always been to make incredible art that is easy to see online and offer it at a price that won’t break the bank. I achieve this using Vector Art as my medium of choice because when I create an online image, even though reduced considerably, remains a crystal clear representation of the work. On the other hand, this is less true for my art which is a “digitally native” art, so what you see is very much what you get. In fact, if you are interested in a work and would like to see further details we can send you close up details because my work does usually include many fine details that get lost in an online JPEG. But unlike other art where a detail might be a closeup of a blob of paint or brush stroke (still cool), my details are often another whole work of crystal clear abstract art. Also, we keep a backup of your artwork so if it should ever get damaged we can get you a new one, perhaps even better as the future always produces better rendering technology and media options which are already astounding.

So all I can determine is my own drive comes from deep within me and my desire to see something new. Some people have it and others don’t or perhaps they suppress it. The drive to create art is stronger in me than the drive to be “an artist.” I create mostly not expecting my art to be seen by others outside of my fans but knowing that for those who discover what I’ve done there will be a pleasant surprise is a motivator too. In the end, if the art is truly good, then it doesn’t matter what you call the person who made it or what motivated them. It stands on its own. I guess I’d call a person an artist if that’s how they make their living. Everyone else is an art maker who with a little luck could possibly become an artist. That’s me.

Jungle of art website creation

How to bring the mind blowing, original, vector artwork of inventor, master programmers and artist Peter McClard to market?   This is the task I was faced with in late 2016 when my collaboration with this friend/artist commenced.   Early on I contracted with one of the cheap "Build your own website" purveyors.  Several weeks into it, I came in contact with Barney Davey, art consultant who made me aware of the special requirements of websites specifically designed for selling art.   One of his suggestions was ArtStoreFronts.com .   I did some research and liking what I read contacted them.  My Sales Specialist was Chris Pierce.  We had 2 consult calls followed by decision to move forward with a package plan.

Building the www.VectorArtLabs.com site was quite challenging initially but thanks to the in-depth and thorough content of their "Success Plan" guide and page links to specific on-topic instructions, it was quite doable.   Once and a while during the construction phase, I would get stuck and require assistance.  I was able to get past all the obstacles I encountered through their email support page where I would always receive next day answers to all questions. On occasion, I found myself needing to speak to support staff in person which was easy to arrange by setting call appointments. They even call you!

The entire Art Store Fronts program is set up to foster user success.   You work it at your own pace and it will work for you, even if you have no experience with website building.  I give the Customer Service staff at Art Store Fronts an A+ for the quality and level of service they provide.

And now back to stocking and selling the vector artwork of Peter McClard on our new www.VectorArtLabs.com website thanks to ArtStoreFronts.com .  Watch your inbox for the next volume of the Vector Variant.

Perfect Art for Online Art Purchasing

Art is one of those things you usually want to see in the real world to know exactly what you are getting. That’s how you can tell the real colors, the various details and the size of the art and how it feels in person. This is more true for painted works because photos can’t quite capture the texture and how it looks at different times of day or in different light conditions or angles.

Let’s face it, an online JPEG can never quite do justice to a work of art, especially a larger one. In fact, the larger the original, the more it is reduced online which tends to lose details and the whole feel of the art. That’s why there are still so many art galleries out there where you can “try before you buy,” so to speak. However, as you may know, that real-world experience comes at a cost because the gallery typically takes a 50% commission, boosting the price accordingly. That’s where online art purchasing shines—lower overhead brings lower artist-direct prices! Still, this leaves you with the issue of not exactly knowing what the work will look like when it arrives. Also, even though you may be getting a better price on a painting, the artist still needs to make a living and so will only lower the price so far which is appropriate.  My art on the other hand solves both of these problems because of the methods I’ve developed over many years. My goal has always been to make incredible art that is easy to see online and offer it at a price that won’t break the bank. I achieve this using Vector Art as my medium of choice because when I create an online image, even though reduced considerably, remains a crystal clear representation of the work. On the other hand, this is less true for my art which is a “digitally native” art, so what you see is very much what you get. In fact, if you are interested in a work and would like to see further details we can send you close up details because my work does usually include many fine details that get lost in an online JPEG. But unlike other art where a detail might be a closeup of a blob of paint or brush stroke (still cool), my details are often another whole work of crystal clear abstract art. Also, we keep a backup of your artwork so if it should ever get damaged we can get you a new one, perhaps even better as the future always produces better rendering technology and media options which are already astounding.

What Makes Vector Art - So Special Digitally?

In the digital world, there are two main forms of art: Raster Art where we color in a fixed number of pixels on a screen like say with Photoshop and Vector Art where we color in mathematically defined shapes like with Illustrator. Raster art has its own special powers and allows the creation of photorealistic art with shading and incredible details, depending on the resolution. Both of these can be controlled with a computer to generate art using algorithms. However, only one of them is done independent of resolution—Vector Art. What does this mean? It means that no matter how large we render it or how high the resolution, we get a crystal clear image with sharp lines whereas if you blow up pixel art larger than intended, you will start to see jagged blocks and artifacts. Since my art is vector art, I can make it the size of a billboard or large mural with no loss of clarity. Not only that, but I often hide tiny details that won’t even be visible at smaller sizes but become apparent when shown larger and thus adds a greater impact. Yes, vector art is also limited and can’t do things that painters or pixel artists can do and it’s terrible at creating photorealism so the vector artist has to think differently. I don’t even try to be realistic and find it very liberating, opening a new kind of Impressionism and Abstraction that was not even possible before. This excites me because it allows the viewer to fill in the missing details with their imagination. Instead of a plain photo that anyone can take with their phone these days, you get a whole new thing that keeps certain aspects of the original image but introduces thousands of new details and shapes where the parts are almost as cool as the whole. One more thing I love about vector art is the files are relatively small. It takes less information to tell a computer what you want to draw than to describe what you already drew. For example a circle can be described with a center point, the radius of the circle and the desired color, three pieces of information. But if you rendered it, you’d need to store the color at each location within the circle which could be in the millions for a large circle at high resolution. This allows me to create and store many thousands of works and easily keep backups!
