Artist Julian Kirk had the idea of setting up BigArt in November 1999. The principle aim was to provide high quality artworks direct to the public whilst nurturing Britishbased painters, printmakers and sculptors. Each Artist has their own web page thumbnailsized images enlargeable at the click of a mouse, plus details of the individuals influences and aims. Prices tend to range between 20 and 1000. These relatively modest figures reflect the fact that clients are often only able to view a digitally reproduced screen image prior to purchase. After many years working as a studio artist and illustrator in Britain and abroad, Kirks desire to establish an Internetbased art gallery could no longer be suppressed. A central maxim for Kirks motivation and excitement in this new project has been the conviction that people need art in their lives though some of us may not yet realize how much we need it Art really is no longer an option in the 21st century with this great new work now priced within the reach of us all.
