Although it may seem somewhat obvious to some people, I recommend looking in the various Australian art forums if you are looking to buy Australian abstract art.

Art forums are a great place to read through the exchange of conversations taking place between Australian artists. Not only can you read through their discussions and general trials and tribulations involved with producing their work, in a lot of cases you can actually view the artist's paintings and sculptures available for sale.

Forums are very popular for emerging and even established artists because there they can showcase their work and discuss new methods they are incorporating into their work. Art forums are also excellent for artists because it is somewhat of a community centre of support and immediate acknowledgement. An artist can get instant feedback regarding their works and ideas from other artists in the forum within in matter of days or even hours.

Some forums are quite accommodating when it comes to artists displaying their work in the forum area and as a result you can view a broad variety of Australian acrylic, oil on canvas paintings, sketches and even sculptures.

There is a vast array of art forums available, so it's some times a good idea to pick just a handful and then skim through each to determine what you like.

It should be noted that you wont necessarily get to view all the works on show by the artists contributing to the forum like you would at an online art gallery. In fact in a lot of cases you will actually be required to sign up in order to receive a log in identification. But the best part is that the majority of art forums available online are free to join. You will need to read through the forums rules associated with registering as a member.

If you are looking to buy Australian abstract art (not just abstract but a major variety of styles also) then forums are a great resource to witness the Australian culture of art as it happens.
