What a Commissioned Abstract Painting Costs in Australia

3 MIN READ

A commissioned abstract painting from my studio ranges from $1,800 for a small panel work to $10,800 for a large statement piece on raw linen. Prices listed by size and surface below, in AUD, including complimentary courier delivery anywhere in Australia and one complimentary revision after the unveiling.

I am Brigitte Gerges, a Lebanese-Australian contemporary artist based in Parramatta, Western Sydney. I have exhibited for sixteen years, and the prices below reflect my actual studio time, materials (raw Belgian linen, archival acrylic, gallery wrap), and the layered process of my practice.

I publish prices openly. You should know what a commission costs before you fall in love with the idea of one.

What affects the price

  • Size is the single biggest factor.
  • Surface. Statement linen carries more material cost and longer layering than panel.
  • Complexity. Heavier embedded coordinate work or multi-layered glazing sits at the upper end of each tier.
  • Framing is optional and quoted separately. Linen works are gallery-wrapped, designed to hang unframed.

How payment works

A 50% deposit at brief sign-off confirms your commission and reserves your spot in the studio calendar. The balance is due on completion, before delivery. Everything is agreed in writing first.

Payment plans on the larger statement works are available on request.

To begin a commission, the next step is a short conversation about your space, your brief, and the size that fits.
