Yes in one perspective I'm getting fairly good benefit if staying here than traveling. But my priority was to get some direct European clients as gallery share is 50% on every artwork. In 90% cases these scavengers (galleries) doesn't reveal exact amount they received and keep most of the cut in their own pocket if artist stays away from live audience. In addition, if some sincere client approach for good commission jobs they stay in between and keep more than half of the negotiated amount. I have quite bitter experience in the past.
There was this Vishwa Arts, gallery cum commission art platform who sold my Flying Fish canvas to so called unidentified buyer at 10% above base value i.e. 90K and after taking their 40% plus some shipping charges paid me 50 thousands something.
After almost one and half year, buyer posted that painting and hashtagged me. I personally texted that guy and thanked him. We chatted smoothly for about half an hour and being an art collector he asked everything about that huge painting. My thoughts n perspective while painting, number of hours n sitting because it was 8 ft by 4 ft, colours/pigments etc etc. And I answered everything accordingly. He was convinced and said that he seriously got some fine deal in 2 lakh. 🤐. And in next moment my phone was shattered in pieces. I was like behan#### jo tumhe roti de raha unke sath he gaddari.
That particular gallery was involved in my 8 deals and every single deal was either morphed or below base value. For 8 artworks I got paid nearly 1.8 lakh and they earned 5 times more than that. Case kiya lekin pata chala wo toh pehle se he band ho chuki hai. Student level aur beginners ke 5-6 art contests organise karwane ke naam pe 6 mahine me he approx 50-60 lakh gayab kar diye the unhone. Kuch genuine complaints hui lekin ek bhi banda hath ni laga. Main toh already ek saal late ho chuka tha 😅😅. This the dark side of this business. Solo exhibitions afford ni hoti, combined me premium cut galleries ka aur client se direct nahi mile toh waha bhi mota choona.
