Where To Buy Nice Wall Paintings / Decor Balinese Theme

Recommended Posts

Hey everton

I don't think that's the right link for the images. I think you need to get another link for forums from the side bar.

Anyway I really appreciate you taking the pics for me! (even though I can't see it yet).

I have an abstract painting by a Balinese artist which I bough some years back, but have yet to frame it up because l haven't found a space to hang it up yet. But I finally have a place to hang it now and I'll need to frame it up soon, canvas wrap style.

Do you mind sharing with me the places that you've contacted so I can go ask. Much appreciated :)

Link not working.

I bought 2 paintings in Bali direct from artist.

2 paintings cost IDR 350000 (or S$50).

Have yet to frame them cuz can't find the place to frame in reasonable price.

dun frame. it'll look nicer without frames.

oil canvas paintings look better without frames when placed in homes. frames are better used when the painting is displayed in a museum.

Oh that's because you're signed into your own account...

I can see them now!

I can definitely understand how can you buy 9 paintings in one go.

The 4 portraits are rather quirky, I like them.

great, it worked. If nothing else, at least I've learned something new today. :D

The artist is obviously a 'chain smoker'. see how despondent he looks in the picture where he doesn't have a cigarette.

everton, I thought he looked rather happy actually?

I asked the framer in my neighbourhood about the canvas wrap framing... For a 1.5m x 1m piece I think it's roughly $120.

I haven't asked anywhere else so I don't know if that's reasonable, but it's certainly an amount I can swallow.

i'm thinking withdrawal, for sure.

USD right.. saw alot of these in hanoi.. nice place to shop for canvas oil arts if you are into them.. some of them go for a few grand in singapore..

i luv the ballerina ones.. there are alot of copy cats for the famous paintings.. well... it is the biggest form of flattery for the establish artisits..

i bot one there for 300usd.. it is selling for the same artist here for 3k at one of the art gallery...

vietnam art has been in vogue for the last 5 years and has appreciated in value if you are also looking into investment in the right artist.. (not the toss out type... lol)

some galleries you can visit but they are all lined up on the same street..

again.. these are more famous viet artists and the prices are correspondingly steep..

the upcoming young artist who are still in school (if you have an eye for them) are alot cheaper as they try to establish themselves..

search for dao-hai-phong..he is one of the more famous.. prices has appreciated alot in recent years.. very very nice.. but too expensive for me..

Yes the ballerina ones are nice. Artist is Binh(sp) I believe. My friend bought one of his paintings when we were there too. She's a pretty avid art collector and bought some better known paintings. Me, I just need to fill my walls.
