5 places for affordable art and prints

ArtBank

Mostly handpainted reproductions of Andy Warhol, Rene Magritte, Roy Lichtenstein, Yue Min Jun and the likes, with some original, exclusive pieces. Paintings available at this online gallery are cleverly sorted by room, subject, style, artist, type, making it easy to find what you want. There are also home decor services for the clueless and tips on how to choose artworks on the site. What we really like: free shipping (to selected countries outside of Singapore, too!). 

Art Loft

You probably never heard of the artists featured in this gallery, but it’s a good place to start. Works of emerging Asian artists are the focus, and Art Loft makes an effort to also showcase the stories and inspirations behind each piece of work. If you have commitment issues, you have the option to rent artworks before actually buying time at just $25 a month. Read more about them in our interview with the founders.
