Market demand for modern impressionism has experienced a sharp uptick within the past decade.

Redolent of 19th century french impressionism, a cadre of young gifted modern impressionists has risen, buttressed by the substructure of a flourishing market underneath to support its advance into the contemporary art scene.

Today’s impressionism- which like its 19th century French counterpart- is distinguished by its small, threadlike brushstrokes often depicting natural landscapes with a range of movement or passage of time- is best embodied by fashionable artists such as Martin Mooney, Kerry Hallam, Duaiv, and Gregory Allen Page.

The driving thrust of these works are the subtle, yet emotionally stirring portrayal of the dynamism in nature. Powerful scenes of rolling natural forces as interpreted through the perspective of the human emotions they elicit.

Duaiv and Gregory Allen Page’s work– in particular- capture this dynamism with particular vigor.

Page’s works- which are housed across leading galleries internationally- are known for establishing a flowing style of movement realism that has been a spark for other contemporary artists to try to echo in their own works.

Notable works of Page’s – such as Giraffe’s In Africa (as seen above) and the America’s Cup Sailboat Race (see below) have set new touchstones for a charged depiction of movement within modern impressionism.

Other notable artists- such as Martin Mooney- take softer, more soothing approaches to landscapes.

In Mooney’s paintings, the mood is less charged, more languid.

What defines value for each of these artists and their collector constituencies seems not to be the gusto of their works, but more precisely, how well they are able to execute on their own unique viewpoint of the wold.

So for the discerning collector seeking vitality, a Duaiv or a Page is a great place to start, and for the pleasant and picturesque look no further than Mooney.

Powerful Corporate Gifting Strategies to Build and Strengthen Business Partnerships

If you want to build and strengthen business partnerships with your clients and top investors, there are a few key steps you must take. One essential strategy is corporate gifting. This simple act goes beyond building a partnership. It will also increase your customer retention rate and promote your business even beyond the shore of your country. 

But before you consider gifting any item, there are some strategies to put in place. This will ensure your gift makes a lasting impression and resonates well with your clients. Below are powerful corporate gifting strategies to build and strengthen business partnerships with your clients and top investors. 

Choose a Personalized Item 

Rather than choosing an ordinary gift for your clients and investors, opt for a personalized item. Customised corporate gifts such as T-shirts, coffee mugs, and bags create a stronger emotional connection than generic gifts. They also leave a more lasting impression than most other gift types.

Imagine how investors and your clients will feel when you beautifully inscribe their image or favorite quotes on a T-shirt. Of course, they will feel valued, appreciated, and ready to invest more in your business.

Consider Their Culture and Background 

As an entrepreneur, it’s essential to be culturally competent and sensitive. Your gifts should resonate with your clients’ and investors’ cultural backgrounds. Otherwise, they may be quickly discarded or overlooked. If your investors and audience are predominantly of Black heritage, consider giving them a custom T-shirt featuring a map of Africa or inspirational quotes from iconic Black leaders. 

Their religious beliefs are also important. Specific religions may find some images or symbols inappropriate. For instance, if you’re giving a gift to a Muslim investor, avoid designs that include images like pigs, as they are considered offensive in Islamic culture.

Consider a Functional Gift 

You should also consider the gift’s functionality. A gift that can be used every day will be more valuable than an impractical one. Even if the gift is expensive but doesn’t have any functional purpose, it won’t serve the purpose it was intended for. 

Instead of purely sentimental keepsakes or abstract gifts, consider practical items like pens, notebooks, backpacks, coffee mugs, umbrellas, or water bottles. Just make sure the gift is well-designed and features your brand logo and identity. This not only increases brand visibility but also helps strengthen the connection between you and your investors.

Tie it to a story

Tie your gifts to a story to make them more memorable and emotionally meaningful. For example, if during your business’s early days, your employees always worked tirelessly day and night, you could opt for a custom hourglass. Clients and investors who receive such a gift will appreciate your business’s journey of patience and perseverance.

Offer Quality Gifts

Gifts given to investors or clients who have significantly contributed to your business growth should reflect their value. They shouldn’t be cheap or low-grade items. The gift doesn’t have to be trendy or widely popular, but it should come from a reputable and high-end brand. This will give your gift more credibility. Besides, the recipients will feel comfortable to use the gift among their colleagues.
