I like the idee. But in essence showing of the work alone is not enough to get it sold sadly enough. You need some people with the money to buy it. To much people these day of photographs from ikea hanging on there walls :'(
I try to buy art whenever i can, does he have a portfolio website or a website with the art he curently has for sale?
I find it interesting and encouraging that you like to buy art in the Ikea age!
Hehe, art is like crypto a good investment.
