Continuing my love of finding artists I think are doing something interesting and are bloody cheap ie offering a good purchase I would like you to check out Adam Wheatley( his artist bio alone is a great read ). You can find examples of his work online at Wood-Green gallery (Melbourne) . Now i must stress here that I am only talking about his WORKS ON PAPER . One may find some offerings done on surfboards ,that i gather from the price sell well for the dude but umm yeah the works on paper are the go . They show a quirky humour with a bit of commentary on capilalism and society at large.
I like them so much I bought 2.Unframed but for a total of $700 bucks I'm very happy to live with that. When you consider the galleries 40 odd percent cost of materials and time taken this ain't much return for his endeavors . Yet I always applaud the galleries and the artist for taking a punt and allowing people for a greater base of support to develop.
p.s he is a sydney based artist
