Few things have more consistently fired the imagination across the ages than the power of art. Great art and artists like Monet, Van Gogh, Cezanne, and O’Keefe have succeeded at capturing the beauty of the natural world. With artists like Picasso and Warhol, we get some of the most experimental and challenging works. While Rembrandt and Vermeer were experimenting with light, shadow, and realism, Islamic artists were creating bold masterpieces from abstract shapes with aniconism. From the Italian Renaissance and Caravaggio to Frida Kahlo and the rise of Latin-American art, Raphael to Renoir to Rothko and beyond, the ongoing journey of art across the ages is as bold as it is beautiful.
And for that journey to continue, it needs new artists to emerge and be patronised. Lovers of the arts in Melbourne and beyond will want to check out this online art gallery – and here’s why.
Patronise New Artists
One of the great things about the art world is that it has always been a two-way street. If not for Leonardo or Michelangelo, we wouldn’t have the grandeur and majesty of the Sistine Chapel or the enduring power of the Mona Lisa and Last Supper. Even so, however, neither Michelangelo nor Leonardo could have put brush to paint and created these masterworks without proper patronage.
That’s why Melbourne’s hottest new galleries are a huge opportunity for art lovers everywhere. You’ll not only have the opportunity to experience new art but also to patronise and potentially commission your own pieces. If you have a particular idea for a painting you’ve always wanted to see realised, or have a firm you want adorned with Australia’s latest, greatest art, these galleries are a great place to get started.
Interact with New Artists
In order to patronise these artists, of course, you’ll first want to meet them. While online galleries offer the convenience of operating and allowing customers to browse and shop online, they still facilitate in-person events and exhibitions. At such an event, you’ll have the chance to meet some of the great new faces in Melbourne’s burgeoning art scene, find out what their story is, and take that first step towards establishing a rapport with a painter you like.
Enjoy New Art
For the world of art to continue, it needs to evolve. That was true when the Renaissance Masters made the shift from flat Medieval art to their fleshed-out, perspective-driven, more realistic works. It was true when, centuries later, the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists broke those conventions and experimented with new concepts of colour and smaller brush strokes.
And it remains true today. For as great as those Old Masters are, Melbourne’s best art gallery is proud to feature some of the faces and styles which have the potential to drive Australian art for years to come. If you are looking for the newest thing in the world of Australian art, you’ve come to the right place!
