THE ARTS AND ISOLATION

THE ARTS AND ISOLATION

It's a difficult time for everyone in the arts industry. Dealers and auction houses are closed and artists are literally isolated in the most remote parts of the desert in Australia. As with us all, I really hope that the arts industry can remain strong and supportive and in doing so, help revive and bring us back to the powerhouse we were becoming. I am speaking of the Aboriginal Art movement of course. Yes, I wish the whole industry well, but my focus is the Indigenous artists.  Their lifeline and support - high street galleries, cannot bring their works to a market fast enough to a market with zero footfall. Some artists may never produce artworks again and this is a detriment to the world as a whole. As we know, the way in which Australian Indigenous culture passes on its heritage and dreamings is through the many different mediums the artists choose to use. Being dot paintings, Raark, weavings and carvings just to name a few.  I would only say that now more than ever, is a time to keep supporting the industry by purchasing the work that you love. Connect with the best galleries that have the best quality works and the provenance required. Galleries like Kate Owen Gallery in Rozelle Sydney, Cooee Gallery in Paddington and Japingka Gallery in Perth.Connect with me to have your artworks valued. If the industry does lose some of its ability to bring artists works to market over the long term, the value of artworks will be a topic that will be discussed in great details amongst the industry and I can see some very big increases in demand with quite possibly not such a capable supply.  We buy art for the love,the feelings it envokes and how it generously warm our walls. We also invest our hard earned money into our purchases. Let me help you as I offer my professional valuation services with direct knowledge and clarity of a sometimes confusing topic. ​
