Stories of doom and gloom abound about the art scene and galleries in general. So many closing and many excuses for people not spending.
I have several theories about my positive attitude that things will pick up soon. I am an artist and a gallery director and I get told so much about what is going on. Many artists are only working small in the hope that these less expensive items will still prompt the impulse buyers.
I refuse to be cowed into doing this and am working bigger than ever before...
OK people are not spending as much but with what they've been saving they can now buy a truly beautiful sculpture in bronze or marble or a wonderful large painting that will be an investment, a possible tax deduction (if they are a business owner) and definately an heirloom for the next generations.
So many people say to me that they are just "waiting to see what will happen", referring possibly to global economics, the carbon tax, rising costs of living, but it is always the regrets I hear most about. "If only I had bought..." but now it has sold...
Artists are still producing, the really committed ones at least. Our work will just keep getting better and when all the financial gloom is over we'll make a killing!
