For Art’s Sake! New Website Open Draw Takes The Stress Out Of Buying Artwork

May 6, 2010 - PRLog -- Say goodbye to dragging tired legs around art exhibitions, galleries, and auctions in search of your perfect piece of artwork with which to decorate your house. Just imagine a place where there are no other buyers to compete with,  and you have as much time as you like to make that all-important decision that cannot be rushed.

Now you can breathe easy, because Open Draw has created this place. This innovative new website allows you to shop for art from the comfort of your own home. You can make yourself a cup of tea, sit back, and browse the artists’ private collections without moving a muscle. It’s possible you have a particular wall, or a room in the house which you have in mind to decorate. You can sit in front of the blank space with your computer, and visualise potential pieces adorning the space. Once you’ve purchased your dream piece, it will be delivered directly to your door within five days of the payment being made.

The art that is on offer is of top quality, produced by some of the most sought-after and emerging artists in the UK, such as Juan Bolivar’s art.  The site’s founder, Yuki Miyake, graduated with a BA in Graphic Design at Musashino Art University in Tokyo and an MA in Communication Design at Royal College of Art in London. Miyake has worked as a graphic designer, an art and design writer and a curator of a gallery at a members’ bar that she co-managed with her partner. Miyake’s philosophy is to make art more accessible, by encouraging interaction between artists, designers, and collectors – which is exactly what Open Draw helps to implement.

Open Draw presents an exquisite range of some of the finest artwork available, and prides itself on selling preparatory work as well as the finished piece. This means it is now possible to buy modello art, and so you can own work illustrating the development of the artists’ ideas . This allows to buyer to be more involved in the creative process.

This is a world where art lovers can go to get the personal care and information that they need. Each piece of featured artwork is accompanied by the artist’s CV and work statement, as well as details of the piece such as size, year of production, and medium. Open Draw also offers a framing service – just request it in your shopping basket.

Open Draw is the online gallery shop founded in February 2010 featuring limited edition prints, photography, sketches and sculpture.

Open Draw offers preparatory work as well as finished art works for sale.
We consider such pieces to be of interest, and fundamental to the process of the finished piece. As a stepping-stone towards the final artwork, preparatory work illustrates the creative process without restriction and so tends to be more freethinking in approach.
Open-Draw.com features journals, profiles & work statements of top and emerging artists in both English and Japanese. Our blog creates a community for art & design enthusiasts.

Moreover, we deal with drawings by a variety of disciplined creatives such as product designers and fashion designers.
You will not find any of these unique artworks in galleries. OPEN DRAW allows you to view real visceral pieces by practicing artists and designers and the opportunity to live with and be inspired by their work.
