Sense + Machine represents a small group of academically trained artists who create figurative paintings and have exhibited internationally. As a result, we make commissioning them simple: one conversation, a clear proposal and a finished painting delivered wherever you are in the world.
From the First Sitting to the Final Brushstroke
Commissioning serious art has always been harder than it should be. In fact, great painters are hard to find and harder to reach. In addition, the process is often unclear. For this reason, we built Sense + Machine to change that. Our creative director hand-selects every artist here. Likewise, we guide every commission from the first idea to the final brushstroke.
We don't run an open marketplace. Instead, we represent a few painters whose training, technique and exhibition history we know firsthand.
As a result, you'll never wonder what happens next. We handle the brief, the proposal, the schedule and the delivery, so you can focus on the painting.
Individuals, couples and families, painted by hand to last for generations.
Devotional paintings for churches, chapels and private homes, created with respect for tradition.
Large-scale figurative works for universities, hospitals, offices and public spaces.
For example, below is a selection of portrait examples showcasing our range of styles, mediums, and price points.
First, every artist we represent is academically trained and has exhibited internationally. Moreover, each brings a distinct voice to contemporary figurative painting. Finally, more artists will join the roster soon.
