SINGAPORE – In a first for the local art scene, Cuturi Gallery’s c/discoveries initiative will help support home-grown artists. For every artwork sold through this non-profit initiative, 80% of proceeds are channelled to the artist, while the remaining 20% goes towards funding future artists of the programme.
Young local painters Yunita Rebekah and Aisha Rosli, who are currently being mentored through c/discoveries, debuted their works in the gallery exhibition entitled Stages and Mirrors, which opened on 18 January and runs till 23 February. All five works in the exhibition were purchased by the third day.
Kevin Cuturi is originally from Spain and previously worked in Amazon before moving into the art space. We asked him about his transition from a tech guy to a gallery owner. Story continues“It’s not like you can tap on Google to find out how much it is worth. You rely on the information the artist and the gallerist will tell you. So I always ask the questions to the gallerist, ‘Why is this piece of artwork priced this way?’ and I need to be convinced before I purchase it. If it is something more than $20,000, then I will do more due diligence and try to understand why the market considers this piece of artwork at this price.
