What Studio-ID Art Gallery does

Studio-ID Art Gallery is a Singapore-headquartered online art gallery and artist representation platform operating under the legal entity Studio-ID LLP. Founded in 2016, the company represents five primary artists—Akihiro Fujimoto, Nidhi Samani, P Gnana, Dani Humberstone, and Piers Bourke—and sells their original paintings, mixed media works, sculptures, and limited edition prints through a Squarespace-hosted e-commerce storefront (studio-id.sg) and participation in international art fairs, including Affordable Art Fair Hampstead (May 2026), Art Stage Singapore, World Art Dubai, and Art Expo Malaysia. Prices range from approximately SGD 260 for pocket-sized paintings to SGD 13,000 for large-scale works, with limited edition prints priced at SGD 600-800; some works are listed as "Price on Request." Payment is processed exclusively through PayPal, and artworks ship globally with costs borne by the buyer.

The platform serves individual art collectors and enthusiasts as its primary customer base, with selective institutional collectors providing marquee validation—P Gnana's works have entered the Singapore Art Museum, the National Heritage Board Singapore, a former President of the Republic of Singapore, and the Indian Ambassador to the UAE; Nidhi Samani works have been acquired for the British High Commissioners' official residence in Singapore; and Ascendas commissioned 14 large-scale paintings from P Gnana in 2005 for its international tech park in Chennai. Co-founder Ketan Samani is the only named leader in the company data, and the only public contact is a single email ([email protected]), pointing to a lean operating structure.

The business model is a one-time-purchase gallery model with no subscription, recurring, or licensing revenue. The company has no proprietary technology, no public APIs, no AI/ML capabilities, no external funding rounds, no parent company, no disclosed subsidiaries, and no disclosed revenue. Go-to-market combines event-driven art fair participation, an always-on e-commerce catalog, and Instagram-driven organic marketing, with a horizontal segmentation approach targeting both art collectors (primary) and art enthusiasts. The overall positioning is that of a boutique, founder-led gallery leveraging institutional placements as reputational assets to compete for mid-market collector mindshare in the Asia-Pacific and increasingly UK art fair circuit.

Direct peers

• Art Plural Gallery: Singapore-based contemporary art gallery participating in international art fairs and representing Asia-Pacific artists. Closely comparable as a peer-sized contemporary gallery pursuing similar Singapore-anchored, internationally active positioning.
• STPI (Singapore Tyler Print Institute): Singapore-based contemporary art institution and gallery specializing in fine art prints, mixed media, and sculptures—overlapping directly with Studio-ID's print sales and mixed media/sculpture offerings and targeting similar collector and corporate clients.
• Gajah Gallery: Singapore-based contemporary art gallery representing international artists, operating across Southeast Asia and participating in regional art fairs (Art Stage Singapore, Art SG). Highly comparable as a Singapore-rooted gallery serving cross-border contemporary collector demand.
• Sundaram Tagore Gallery: Singapore-Hong Kong-New York contemporary art gallery representing international artists, mixing established and emerging names. Comparable to Studio-ID as an international multi-city gallery focused on contemporary cross-border artist placement.

Represents the upper-bound incumbent compete-for on artist signings and high-end collector attention.
