How is the art scene becoming global each day? Lately, art has issues left and right. Some are inspiring while others put people to awe and trigger as they say, critical thinking. Yet either or, an issue is an issue. Art evokes feelings which later on needs to be acted upon. Some remain as classic and many have undergone extreme forms which voice out the ethos of today and that is which is expressed to global audience in a wink of an eye. Internet as the biggest shopping mall ever created is being propagated with arts for sale among others. Imagine the world wide web as physical mall where vendors elbow each other out just to have a booth even in the far corner of the long stretch of boutiques. One can see online authority art websites that are even supported by mini sites or can even be a corner space of a page where artworks can be displayed in hopes against hopes that people visiting will zoom it and discover the talent that one has. We looked back at beginner painters some years ago and found them struggling as to how their arts could be introduced to peers. Mom remained as a faithful viewer and thank God you have her flaunting what you've got to neighbors. Other than that, life wasn't real good to amateurs. "The best is yet to come", as we say. Then came the internet to accommodate your thoughts and even its actual output. Let the public be advised that you have something real to show and via the expression exuded in your wall paintings, touched are the hearts of buyers whose current situations are well-related to what your art projects. The internet gave artists a new hope each day they wake up in the morning to face their passion. Passion, talk about practicality, is useless in a mundane sense if not a single buck is earned from it especially now that, except for little fun alone or with your loved one, spending time over something that is not productive in terms of monetary value is a waste of time. It took centuries and decades for artists to wake up with hope of earning from what they are born to do without the internet. And likewise, it took the same period for art collectors to brag with wall paintings created from different parts of the globe in just one click of a mouse. All the more that art became a best friend to artists with art rental confidently pushing itself from just a simple concept to the realm of art business. Gone were the days that art investors needed to wait for their descendants to have millions from a wall painting bought during the world war. "Buy now; for rent tomorrow" can be a favorite slogan to artists and art investors alike who embrace the blissful idea of buying an artwork from a broker that also handles client search to have the purchased wall painting lucrative via art rental for corporate art. From months to years of of being displayed in some office wall, expect your collection to be put back in your warm embrace either for personal use or to be placed back in business once again. Art of whether it is European or Asian, art is becoming more exposed to people from different walks of life or from different demographics as opposed to being tagged as an elite taste, if not by the weirdos, for centuries back.
