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.



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 Young Masters Gallery Brisbane galleries in George Street, Brisbane Arcade and Queen Street, between 1978 and 1990. Renaissance style painter.
