Normally, I only see art in galleries, so I really like the idea of having it on a website. When I do go art shopping (first Saturday of the Month is a Gallery Hop in Columbus), I wander from one establishment to another, always trying to find the one piece that sticks out at me.
With AI, however, I am able to shop for art while in my boxers and can see everything in one place. This is not only easier for me, it also helps the artists as they are able to combine their efforts into one location. I like this method of selling art, and I really hope it catches on.
The only downside of AI is a few coding areas. The site has a good layout, good design, and a good message, but other issues overshadow this. There is no mouse-over for anything but the top bar, and that really confuses me. I never noticed half of the links until I searched around the page to find them. This should be a quick fix, and it is something that is needed to make navigation better.
Additionally, the site doesn’t reset every time you visit. If you were on page three of the art, you start on page three again the next time you are there. If this was a larger site that would make sense, but as a small site it is annoying. Again, this is an easy fix and one that I hope is done soon.
Overall, Abstract Inclinations is a pretty cool and nifty idea. The site has plenty of potential, and I am hoping that, in the future, more artists show up and contribute. I can see AI making a splash on the art scene and helping casual buyers like myself find art at our fingertips (literally). The only thing holding it back is the lack of multiple artists and some coding, both of which are easily fixed. I strongly urge you to go check out Abstract Inclinations today.
