Live with a painting before you decide to own it.
Original artwork on your walls for a monthly fee, delivered and hung by me. Swap it when you want something new. Buy it if you can’t let it go.

Renting solves the problem that stops most people buying art: you cannot tell how a piece will live in a room until it has been in that room for a few weeks. A gallery wall and your own hallway are different places, in different light.

Excavation

Who it's for

Offices and reception areas that need to look considered without a capital purchase, and want to change the walls as the business changes.

Hotels, cafés and restaurants refreshing interiors on a cycle rather than all at once.

Homes — new houses where the walls are bare and the decisions aren’t made yet, and anyone who wants to try a piece properly before committing to it.

Photoshoots, events and staged property where the artwork is needed for weeks, not years.

What it costs

Monthly rental is a percentage of the artwork’s retail value, so a small study costs less than a large canvas.

Size Typical work Monthly rental
Small 18 × 24 to 24 × 36 in from ₹1,500
Medium 30 × 40 to 36 × 48 in from ₹2,200
Large 48 × 72 in and above from ₹3,700

Minimum rental period of three months. A refundable security deposit equal to one month’s rental is taken at the start. Prices exclude GST. Delivery and installation across Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula are included.

What's included

Framing and hanging hardware · Delivery and professional installation across the tricity · Free exchange after the minimum period · Advice on placement, sizing and grouping · Replacement of any piece that doesn’t sit right in the space

How it works

Terms

Minimum period — three months, then rolling monthly. Fourteen days’ notice to return or exchange.

Security deposit — one month’s rental, refundable on return of the work in the condition it was delivered.

Ownership — the artwork remains mine throughout the rental and is not to be moved to another address, lent, or resold.

Care — hang away from direct sunlight, damp and heat. Please don’t clean the surface. Tell me about any damage rather than attempting a repair.

Damage or loss — beyond normal wear, charged against the deposit up to the trade price of the piece. An optional damage waiver is available at ₹[___] per month.

Insurance — for commercial premises, please include the work in your general premises cover to its trade value.

Questions people ask

Can I rent several pieces?
Yes, and there is a 15% discount on four or more. Most office schemes take six to ten.

Can I swap pieces?
After the three-month minimum, as often as you like at no charge.

What if it doesn’t suit the room?
Tell me within the first two weeks and I’ll swap it. That is the entire point of renting.

Do you rent outside the tricity?
Yes, with delivery charged at actuals.

Are these originals?
Every piece is an original, signed. Nothing here is a print.
