Hi y'all, this is a message I got back from my friend who runs the site when I pointed out this thread and peoples very understandable concerns with artwork being stolen. This wasn't due to the actions of the guys who run the site but the artists they represent. Really not cool, I think stealing anything of anyone is an incredibly lowly act but at least this has been brought to light.
Hello everyone,
Well this is embarrassing. Thank you Bancopuma for helping us promote our new website, we are deeply sorry if your chivalry has had a backlash to your reputation in regard to current revelations.
We set up UV Visions to help promote ultra violet environments, for relaxation, meditation, and colour therapy. We have designed a few outdoor events and collected a group of painters who love to work in this medium.
As an art agency we contract artists to paint using themes or key words and we also sell, for commission, artists' work painted in UV. Our launching collection displayed on our website was painted, we thought, from the minds of the people we work with…to double check we use an image checking software to see if these images already exist…if they do not show we assume that they are original. It has never been or never will be our intention to take credit for artistic talent, one of the few respites from modern bureaucratic drudgery.
We have now removed all pictures that have been mentioned to belong to other artists and are in the process of contacting them to see if they would be happy for us to sell their work as an agent.
If you recognise ANY paintings as yours, please contact us directly here:
harry@uvvisions.com, so we can discuss a suitable outcome, whether that be: recognition, removal and/or royalties. Also if you spot other pieces in our collection that you think have been appropriated please, if you would, point them out to us.
We currently work with 27 different artists and it is necessary for us to wheedle out the ones that copy others work, so thank-you for helping us.
We are always looking for talented people who paint or wish to paint in the ultraviolet spectrum. Contact us to discuss the terms and conditions to establish a fruitful collaboration . We are looking for creative people to support and work with and in the future will be growing into the physical realm to promote this beautiful art scene.
Once again we deeply regret this embarrassing oversight, I hope no offense has been caused.
Although our first introduction has been one of distrust we hope to grow into a professional and honest company that really works in the interest of artistic promotion not in terms of revenue.
With Warm Regards,
The UV Visions Team
