The Creative Block is an inspirational outlet for some of South Africa’s established contemporary artists, as well as a platform for fresh local talent. The Creative Blocks are small (18cm by 18cm by 2.2cm) artworks, each original and unique yet affordable.
Artists are invited to produce work to this standard format, but are in no other way restricted in their expression. The Creative Block often helps artists break through their creative blocks, and has in many cases been the catalyst for a completely new stream of work.
A big advantage to the artists is that they are paid on the day they submit work for inclusion. It provides a regular income, although only works of the highest standard are selected. On the back of each work is a short CV of the artist, giving insight into the person and some of their myriad artistic achievements.
Creative Block collectors are invited to become part of the creative process by grouping a number of artworks together. The collector’s choices become vital to the visual impact of each art piece. Providing there is no damage to the block, a collector can exchange a Creative Block at any time. The e-commerce website provides the opportunity to see more Creative Blocks
