It’s no secret that South Africa is swarming with gifted artists, and yet platforms to showcase and promote this talent remain few and far between. Jennifer Reynolds has seized upon this gaping opportunity and created StateoftheArt.co.za, an online gallery dedicated to fostering the careers of emerging artists, and providing consumers with high quality contemporary artwork at affordable prices.
Jennifer created StateoftheArt.co.za as a virtual gallery as opposed to a physical space, harnessing the power of the internet to create a platform from which promising young artists could launch their careers. Galleries rarely work with unknown names leaving many young artists waiting up to three years to be represented. StateoftheArt.co.za gives these artists a foot in the door and provides a means for professional student and graduate artists to show and sell their artwork, The majority of proceeds from sales are given to the artists who create these works. So, when you buy art from StateoftheArt.co.za you’re directly supporting artists.
The work on StateoftheArt.co.za is predominantly sourced from fine arts students and graduates emerging from South Africa's most prestigious art schools, carefully selected in conjunction with a curatorial panel. With an extensive selection of styles and genres to reflect the characteristically subjective nature of art, buying artwork to suit your space, budget and personal taste couldn’t be any simpler.
The site itself is professionally designed and very easy to navigate, with work grouped according to price, subject, and artists. There’s even a virtual gallery, with curated exhibitions you can ‘walk’ through in the comfort of your own home. Added value bespoke services include corporate art solutions, art sourcing for interior designers and architects, collectors resale and art commissions. The best part of all is that the art is delivered to your doorstep once you’ve made a selection. Tell your friends overseas too – artwork can be purchased in a number of currencies, and is shipped worldwide.
