It's the end of the year and yet again I sit in front of the computer trying to figure out how to get more exposure.
Im trying to reach a certain market. That limits me to what I can do. The market I am selling to mostly prefers to buy art from reputable galleries. They buy art because they like it and they believe that it is investment art. Most of my buyers are prepared to pay a bit more, because they want to keep the art and hopefully get their money back, (if not more!) after a few years.
So...I cannot sell on markets and small local galleries. The problem is not getting the work into galleries. The problem is public awareness. Nowadays everyone is on face book, tweeting, linking etc, etc. I just don't know which one is best?
Face book seems to be working ok, but I still need more comments, more exposure more sightings. How to get it....is there some magic button one can push? some ultimate website?
South African artist Leonie e.Brown believes the paint and the canvass in itself is enough to carry out the message she is conveying. She makes use of bright colors, palette knife and impasto to convey the message. Each painting is treated as letter to the viewer. The artist herself believes that each painting whether realistic or abstract, is uniquely created, for the person who will recognize the message as theirs.
