Buy Paintings & Artworks Online to Get the Maximum Choices
Buying art once used to be extremely exclusive. The term is used in its proper sense to mean “excluding others” rather than the popularised meaning it later gained. Before the advent of online art sites, a person looking to buy paintings was bound by the choices and prices of gallery owners, whose interests lay as much in the idea that they could foster this sense of exclusivity as it did in championing the cause of particular artists.
As such the gallery model limited the quantity and scope of original art available to buy. If you wanted to buy paintings no-one else had, work guaranteed original and of high quality, you went with what your gallery recommended rather than what your tastes decreed. Of course if you were lucky your taste was in line with the styles and themes currently endorsed by the gallery system – though often it seemed people were buying paintings they neither understood nor liked simply because the establishment was telling them they should like them.
Artists got a raw deal out of this system too. If you weren’t painting in a way currently considered as cool by the galleries, your work failed to find an audience.
Now you can buy paintings online, the arbitration of what’s good, what is worth paying for, is back with the consumer. Online art stores, which sell original works at prices reflecting their true value, are enabling art lovers all over the UK to find works they like rather than works they’ve been told to like.
The online art store raises another interesting possibility for the art lover – that of having his or her own painting commissioned. A route traditionally open only to patrons of the arts, the commissioned painting adds an extra dimension of originality to the art on your walls – now you can buy paintings that aren’t just original but which have been painted specifically for you.
The online art store allows the everyday art lover to become a patron of the arts. By commissioning our own original works, we are enabling talented artists to work as they choose, outside the more restricted world of gallery patronage. So the benefit is two way. You get to choose a picture for your walls, or specify a unique gift for a loved one, that no-one else in the world will own – and the artist is rewarded properly for his or her work.
Buy paintings from an online art store of this nature and you can choose from a variety of styles and artists. When you commission a piece of your own you can be as detailed or as loose as you like in the brief – from sending in a photo you want copied exactly, to commissioning an artist whose work you like to develop something on the theme of a single word or feeling.
