So, what is this ?
IMAGO is an artist-run online platform that allows a curated selection of artists to connect with a new audience, while removing obstacles and intermediaries that usually make the process of exhibiting and selling your art online an abolute challenge.
Artists are considered here for what they are and for what they do, and certainly not as a potential money-making reference number like it vastly is in the jungle that is the art market (both on and off-line.) No bots !
Imago has been thought from the start as a new possibility for young, independant artists to showcase and sell some of their art side by side with a compact selection of other artists ; everything you will discover here has been hand-picked and chosen for the intrinsec qualities of the works.
The focus for now is also on hosting small to medium-format artworks that remain in "affordable" price ranges.
We are attempting here to build and developp a transparent support structure on a human scale. This isn't a supermarket.
Start small
The platform will grow and evolve in time along with the selection of artists presented here. The website itself is intented to be further developped and propose more functionalities to both artist members and audiences, such has publishing activities and events from its members and proposing a newsletter to sum-up with the same infos, showcasing particular artworks for a limited period of time, and potentially even getting out of the web to organise events such as group exhibitions.
