Asian Bespoke Art uses no outlets or galleries, enabling us to keep
our prices so very competitive.
BUYING ART
It’s very difficult
to judge the standard and quality of art even from our web site. And
after spending days or weeks searching galleries you often find the
piece of art you have found does not, after all, fit your wall space.
That’s why we
provide our unique home service, enabling you to view artwork actually
in your home saving your time frustration, and money. So for example,
the particular work you want can be provided in the exact size you need to
suit your room.
ORDERING
After you have
browsed our web site please phone to make a home appointment with our
representative. At your appointment you will be shown in addition to
our full catalogue, four actual canvases from the two collections from
which you can appreciate in your home the standard of our artists. The
catalogues comprises the Asian varied collection and the Buddha collection.
You are under
no obligation to make a purchase. We allow 30 to 45 minutes for each
visit.
We will also
show you frame templates to give you guidance in choosing the correct
frame size. Each work is commissioned to your requirements, making your
painting a genuinely unique work of art. Each commissioned work of art
is individually painted and so may vary slightly from the image shown in our web site collection.

THE EASY WAY TO BUY ART
BRIEF ASIAN ART HISTORY
Asian painting
was confined. Through the belief that walls should enhance the beauty
of the religious and royal objects they surround this was how mural painting
was developed. In traditional Asian painting conventional perspective
is ignored, shadows are unknown and space is neutral rather than atmospheric. Depending on
their importance, figures in the painting are either large or small.
Five primary
pigments were used by the traditional Asian painter. These colours - scarlet
lake, yellow ochre, ultramarine blue, pot - black pipe - clay white and
were used to produce many other colours. Depictions of Buddhist heaven
and hells, Jataka stories, episodes from Buddha's life and scenes from
contemporary Thai life are found in early surviving murals. These murals
were painted with earth colours made from natural pigments. During the
Bangkok period, pigments were imported from China, thus making the colors
richer. Chemical pigments and western perspective were first brought
into use during the middle of the 19th century. To create their own
expression of art, Thai artists now integrate the influences of western
style and technique with their training in the traditional style.
