Gin Feldman's "Voodoo Dolls"
Centuries ago Western culture dictated that Art was unobtainable or beyond the reach and/or understanding of the majority of the population. This myth should have been put to rest by the Impressionists as they gave rise to a wealth of new art being created both in America Europe . Yet a hundred years later the remnants of that oppressive way of thinking still rears its ugly head in today’s art market. Be it Paris, London Louisville
Most working artists take the time to create pieces that can be purchased by people of all statuses. The reason for this is simple; they feel (just as we at the gallery feel) that art is for everyone. A true artist creates for the sake of sharing, not necessarily for the sake of financial gain. While every artist is happy when a more expensive piece sells it is usually because that added income ensures that they will be able to continue working at their craft. The real joy comes from knowing that the piece made such an impression to the buyer that it moved them to make the purchase. Hence, art makes the connection for which it was intended. This being said, we like to encourage you to visit your local art galleries and refuse to be intimidated by old ideology and recognize how obtainable these connections actually are.
We at Tim Faulkner Gallery have dozens of pieces all priced under $80.00 that are well worth their asking price. This is not discounted art! These are works of art by important artists who have embraced the desires of the public to share in their visions. We don’t carry “affordable art” here; we leave that to galleries located in shopping malls across the United States
Hope to see you soon!
All the Best,
Tim & Margaret
