Artwork Dump Novels & Stories

Annabeth stands back to admire her handiwork, and I can’t help but clap my hands like a kid. With the addition of each work of art, the walls have come to life, the different shades of grey providing the perfect foil for the bright drawings and paintings. Next to each frame is a white card with the name of the artist and title of the artwork, along with a brief description and a price.

I hesitantly swiped, picking the call, and placing it gently to my ears. “Good day, my name is Nneka Umondak, I work at the Niker Art Gallery. Am I on to Mr Oliver Sallow?” I scrunched my brows in confusion, “Yes? How may I help you?” “Yes, Mr Benjamin placed a call this morning and told us you have some artworks you want to be exhibited?” My eyes widened, my mouth falling slack as the praises he had sung this morning while he saw the painting flowed again. He told me that my work deserved to be exhibited, but I didn’t think for once that he was serious and that he would go that far.

Another eerie laugh echoed. “Alright, boys, that’s enough chat for now. Start stacking my dough. I’ll call back tonight with pickup details. The clock’s ticking… tick tock… tick tock.” The line went dead…Silence. James cursed audibly. “Son of a bitch”

They were the boxes they had retrieved from Alex's studio before leaving the city—the ones Cale had insisted on bringing because they contained "data." "The paintings," Elion said. "They are artifacts," Cale said. "History." "They're art. And they've been sitting in boxes for weeks. It's time to unpack them." "Unpacking creates disorder." "It creates a home. Come on. Help me." Cale stood up. His leg was stiff—the damp morning air made the metal pins ache—but he walked without the cane. He knelt beside the boxes. Elion cut the tape. He pulled out the first canvas.

ELOISE The lights dimmed in the event hall as we took our seats at one of the tables, and silence enveloped the crowd. A spotlight illuminated the first item to be auctioned—a centuries-old painting named "Whispers of the Wildwood" by the artist Edmund Harlowe, donated by a businessman. It's a landscape painting that transports viewers into a serene forest scene, lit only by fireflies. The painting portrays a deep, lush woodland with untouched beauty. The auction's proceeds this evening will be distributed to orphanages, children with illnesses, and homes for the aged.

Willa is the ink that refuses to dry. The "Vance Algorithm" is currently holding 100% of the Moretti-Vane-Sterling liquidity within the city's artistic infrastructure. The banks are empty, but the murals are full. To audit us now, one would have to scrape the paint off every building in Manhattan. One would have to arrest the light. A soft chime echoed through the study. I didn't reach for a keyboard; I tapped the desk’s surface. A single, low-resolution holographic display flickered to life a direct line from the Arts Tower.

I lower my head a bit while locking her eyes. "No. Bastian. Forget it. My paintings are mine." "Fine. I'll see them someday." I smirk. "But this..." I hold the pad up and tear off the picture. "Consider this one sold." I pulled out my money clip. "No, Bastian. I can't take your money." She protests. "Nonsense. A good artist should be paid for her art. Is 300 good?" Her eyes went wide. "300? For a sketch?......"

He gently placed her down on the bed after pulling the covers and watched her, concluding she is exhausted because she didn’t even move. He went out after a few minutes and started to clean up the clutter she had made. He picked up the scissors, cutter and glue gun on the floor and placed them in the basket she had with her. He then tidied up the construction paper as well as the others when something caught his eye. Vault of Arts Museum. The envelope read and he noted that it was already opened. He picked it up and opened the letter. Dear Ms. Ellisande Porter, I am writing on behalf of The Vault Arts Museum with regards to the 8th Grand Artwork Festival.

Carter,* *My name is Victoria Hartley. I am a representational artist based in Portland, Oregon. I recently attended your exhibition at the Cordova Gallery and was disturbed by what I saw.
