The prices set for artworks available for purchase on this website are carefully determined to ensure a fair living wage. In instances where prices include an additional fee to support Gaz’s educational outreach initiatives, such fee is explicitly indicated. Detailed information regarding the allocation of these funds towards supporting disadvantaged learners within the United Kingdom is available upon request. Furthermore, it should be noted that certain artworks feature pricing as an integral component of the piece, forming part of a social experimental series (e.g., 'The Veblen Experiement', 'The Approved Used Experiment'). Prices in these instances may exceed the standard artist living wage; however, the revenue generated from the sale of these experimental artworks is directly reinvested into educational outreach programs, administered through Gaz’s dedicated educational platform The MoSAIC. Prices of commissioned work reflects the bespoke nature of the job and are quoted on a case by case basis. Prices for bespoke work starts from £495 with free no obligation quotes offered.
