Inspired by fashion magazines such as vogue and the ironically today there is a vogue challenge. Artist Replete launched in September 2017 with the sole focus of giving up and coming artists a unique platform to display and sell their work. It was created with a sense of philanthropy and an industry disrupter within the art business. Its distinct design offers a more lucrative commission structure than most galleries are able to compete with. This, in turn, gives each artist we collaborate with the ability to make more per transaction compared to the current art gallery model.
