Why It’s Worth Ordering Directly from the Artist

Ordering a painting directly from the artist is an excellent choice for those seeking more than just a ready-made decoration.Such a work is created with a specific person, interior, and need in mind, making it truly individual and unique.

 

Personalised Approach and the Uniqueness of the Painting

 The greatest advantage of commissioning a painting from an artist is the ability to tailor the artwork to your own expectations. You can determine the subject, colour palette, format, style, and sometimes even specific compositional details. As a result, the painting harmonises with your interior far better than a randomly purchased piece. This collaboration also allows you to express your personal taste more fully.Instead of choosing from countless similar decorations, the client receives a work created specifically for them. A painting commissioned directly from the artist is usually one of a kind. It is not a mass-produced item or a printed reproduction, but the result of handcraftsmanship and creative interpretation. This is particularly important for those who value originality and wish to have something truly unrepeatable in their home.Such uniqueness holds not only aesthetic but also emotional significance. The painting can be connected to a particular story, memory, or intention, elevating it beyond a mere decorative element.

 

Greater Emotional Value and Direct Contact with the Artist

 Paintings ordered directly from the artist often carry greater emotional value than ready-made decorations. This stems from the fact that they are created in response to a specific need, idea, or occasion. They can serve as a gift, a memento, or a personal symbol. Such a work frequently remains with its owner for many years. Over time, it ceases to be merely a painting and becomes a meaningful part of everyday life and cherished memories. By purchasing a painting directly from the artist, you gain the opportunity to communicate with the person who creates it. This is a significant advantage, as it allows you to discuss details, ask questions, and gain a deeper understanding of the creative process. This direct contact builds trust and provides greater confidence that the final result will meet your expectations. For many people, it is also important to know who stands behind the artwork. Familiarity with the artist adds authenticity to the piece and makes the purchase a more personal experience. Ordering a painting directly from the artist is an excellent option for those seeking originality, quality, and a truly individual approach. Such a work can be perfectly tailored to your interior, given a personal character, and imbued with genuine emotional value. It is a choice for those who want something exceptional in their home — not just another decoration. Milena Olesińska

Bernhard Luginbühl

 

Bernhard Luginbühl (16 February 1929 – 19 February 2011)was a Swiss sculptor.He created iron sculptures in the late 1950s. In 1976 he started with building giant wooden sculptures which he set on fire as an art event.His work featured a variety of materials, including iron, bones, wood and even weapons and industrial waste.After grad­u­at­ing from the School of Applied Arts in Bern (1948), Bernard Lug­in­bühl (*1929) started work­ing in Bern. The artist cre­ated his pieces in a vari­ety of media: wood, stone and pri­mar­ily since 1949, iron. In his lager than life-sized iron sculp­tures a sat­is­fy­ing mon­u­men­tal­ity encoun­ters a cre­ative play­ful­ness deeply rooted in the mate­r­ial. A char­ac­ter­is­tic of Luginbühl’s work is the ten­sion between move­ment and counter-movement, between dynamic ele­ments mov­ing into space and sup­port­ing struc­tures con­trol­ling the movements.“Every little thing has meaning for me,” said Luginbühl on the occasion of his 2003 exhibition at Museum Tinguely in Basel.A park in Bern showcases about 60 of his enormous rusty creations, including animal figures.In addition to sculpture, Luginbühl also produced graphic design, lyric poetry and more fleeting works such as burning things in public as a form of protest.The son of a butcher, the Bern-born Luginbühl remained very down-to-earth despite the critical acclaim he received.

John McCracken - Minimalist art

John Harvey McCracken ( 1934 – 2011) was a minimalist artist. He lived and worked in Los Angeles, Santa Fe, New Mexico, and New York.Internationally recognized John McCracken commenced developing his earliest sculptural work while in grad school at California College of Arts and Crafts along with Minimalists John Slorp and Peter Schnore, and painters Tom Nuzum, Vincent Perez, and Terry StJohn, 1964, 1965. Equally well known Dennis Oppenheim, enrolled in the M.F.A. program at nearby Stanford, was a frequent visitor to this more vibrant graduate program. While experimenting with increasingly three-dimensional canvases, McCracken began to produce art objects made with industrial techniques and materials, plywood, sprayed lacquer, pigmented resin, creating the ever more minimalistic works featuring highly-reflective, smooth surfaces. He applied techniques akin to those used in surfboard construction—popular in Southern California. Later McCracken was part of the Light and Space movement that includes James Turrell, Peter Alexander, Larry Bell, Robert Irwin and others. In interviews, however, he usually cited his greatest influences as the hard edge works of the Abstract Expressionist Barnett Newman and Minimalists like Donald Judd, Dan Flavin and Carl Andre.Wikipedia
