Illustrations of John Pointon and John Sterchele paintings are shown below:
See Pointon samples on the "Mau-R" button and Sterchele stock on the "S" button.
Aboriginal original prints:
Due to extensive experience in the limited edition original print market we also take interest in etchings and linocuts from especially Torres Strait Island aborigines. We simply have a fascination for the great work produced. Images are provided for you by email with best print prices plus estimates for framing. We have worked together with the same highly experienced picture framer for a quarter of a century. These small hand signed limited edition original prints lend themselves to highly creative framing techniques. A framed print of this type can make a valuable gift which may be treasured for years to come. It may also be the very initiative required to inspire in someone special, a lifelong pursuit of the great pleasure in art collecting.
Our position is as follows:
We only ask professional artists to execute commissions. Paintings or sculpture may be of a common genre and readily saleable elsewhere should the order be canceled after work has commenced. (Neither the artist nor the gallery will incur special costs).
Special commissions may be preceded by the execution of a small painting or miniature:
The sample must be approved by the client prior to the go-ahead being given to the artist to proceed with the final artwork. Such commissions are subject to a non-refundable 40% initial payment which must be transfered to the gallery bank account together with a letter of written acceptance to the gallery director, signed by the buyer. Depending on the desires of the artist concerned, special commissions may attract a higher price than generally asked by the artist for works of the same dimensions. If such a surcharge is applicable, it usually does not amount to more than 20%. It is required to cover artists travel, materials, research and framing expenses in some instances. Artworks are normally delivered to the gallery in batches. The freight costs are therefore distributed evenly over the batch. Individual commissions therefore are more expensive to ship. A small shipping surcharge is requested by the artist for packing and delivery.

AN OPINION ABOUT THE LIKELY THINKING OF THE SUCCESSFUL ART COLLECTOR:
Train your eye! Don't treat art as a commodity! Treat it as an investment! There is enough "questionable" art out there to "snow" any emerging art collector. Buy small, (or inexpensive), to commence. Dispose of your mistakes as you learn the "difference" (with minimum financial loss). You will know when you made a doubtful purchase. It hurts! Visit as many galleries as you possibly can and let your eyes simply "digest" the plethora. Don't linger however, as you need to digest thousands of paintings, and that takes in a lot of exhibitions. Only a few pieces are "knock-outs" anyway. Don't overlook the "good ones" in between. Just look out of the corner of your eye as you rush past. The really good ones will stop you in your tracks!
Be intuitive! To make an average 14% per annum, you really have to believe in yourself and be willing to spend. If you do it right there is little gambling involved. There must be a strong message in the work, however soft, subtle and frilly, or hard, explosive, and "in your face" it may be! Both tender and turbulent ideas, can have a similar and suitable impact on "real collectors" or investors, "down the track".
The type of emotion behind the artwork is irrelevant, as long as it expresses a clearly identifiable "statement" to prospective bidders at eventual art auctions. The "experienced" collectors (at established art auction houses), hone in on the "unseen", that is, what lies between the paint and the canvas, that which bursts through the constraints of medium employed and which captures the attention of the discerning eye, that which makes a work of art forever remain a mystery in some context, or remain subject of conjecture.

Master of drawing, painting and fresco, Lance Bressow:
Exhibiting for nearly 30 years with the Young Masters Gallery is renowned Brisbane artist Lance Bressow. Lance has had perhaps the most intensive training in life drawing of any living Queensland artist. In particular, between 1967 and 1974 he attended classes in Perugia and Florence under such internationally famous artists as Pietro Annigoni and Nerina Simi. Lance studied bronze casting at Sydney University then in Brisbane, original printmaking at Griffith University. In 1999 he again returned to Italy to study fresco. We are proud to have staged 4 exhibitions for Lance at our one-time Brisbane galleries in George Street, Brisbane Arcade and Queen Street, between 1978 and 1990.
