the advantages of buying artwork direct form the artist

the advantages break down into 2 categories

1. you get to talk to the person who made the artwork.

2. you pay less

When an artwork or painting is made the artist goes through a series of different process and each one adds an extra level of meaning to the work and if you want to know more about the processes of the meaning behind them who better than the artist to ask? I also means that the providence of the artwork is undeniable.

the most obvious advantage is that by cutting out the middle man you save money.

My all time favorite

Face Facts - a painting for my 2009 collection of new characters

face_facts__2009_paintings-on-canvas

These 2 characters are among some of my favorite from the new series. the painting is done on canvas in 3 panels. I chose to do it this way so that i could break it up and hang different pieces around the house and still have the link to the whole work. At the moment I have the square middle section hanging with some other artworks in the office.

Back to making canvases

I have spent the last 5 week overseas putting it all together. Now I'm back at making new artworks for you guys. I have some new heros and it was great to see some original artworks by some old ones.

New artists to admire...

Luca Pignatelli is a new favorite artist we saw wok in Nice at a solo exhibition that he had at the Nice modern art gallery called 'atlantis' he uses a similar ideas to me in the way he uses paint and ink. The scale of his work was also very impressive, in this exhibition he had painted around 572 artworks and arranged them around the room in a grid 13x44.

Old artist to have a closer look at.

As an artist looking at art i can get bogged down in how they are made. I saw many paintings and artworks that were done by artists that I had only seen in books or reproductions. Seeing them in the flesh I was able to get right up close and see all the details of how they were made and all there imperfections.

I'll tell you more soon about what i have seen but for now I have to put it all into practice and create some more new artworks of my own.

I also wanted to remind you we have paintings of sale through this site and if you want to ask me any questions about the work this is your chance to talk directly with the artist that made the artworks.
