  • Anne-Marie Griffin

I have recently purchased a beautiful artwork from Mandel Art Gallery. I had done my home work but was grateful for Laurie's extensive knowledge as it was my first sizeable aboriginal art acquisition. Purchasing online a serious artwork was making me a bit nervous but Laurie was upfront and very approachable. Above all, I found that Laurie deeply cares about the art he sales and the artists he showcases and this was an important factor in my decision. I did receive the painting in perfect condition and with a fast delivery time. I cannot commend enough Laurie and Mandel Aboriginal Art Gallery and will consider purchasing other artworks there in the future. This review would not be complete without mentioning Dereck from Pack and Send Coburg who took the time to contact me back regarding a question I had with the tracking system. I really appreciated his outstanding customer service.

My entire experience with Mandel Aboriginal Art Gallery has been fantastic! The beautiful energy is palpable the minute you enter this huge space, displaying such a variety of works from so many different artists (all with Certificates of Authenticity)..... and then there are the hidden gems, yet to be stretched and displayed. If you're lucky, the artist-in-residence will be in-house, working on a new masterpiece. Laurie clearly loves what he does, and he knows his Aboriginal Art. When I went to collect my painting, the gallery was extremely busy; So he personally delivered my painting when things calmed down. Superb customer service from both Laurie and his staff. I can't wait to hang this in pride of place on my wall! Thank you so much - I definitely will be a returned Customer.

  • Deborah Howard

Mandel Gallery has such a large and beautiful collection of indigenous art. I was spoilt for choice when shopping for a special piece for my daughter and her husband who live in Ballarat. One painting was spectacular and just called to me, ending up no competition with anything else. I think it was a fair price for the quality of what I purchased. Laurie delivered it that same evening, driving all the way from Alphington to Ballarat and back which was just extraordinary. My daughter is absolutely in love with the art, which is now pride of place on their dining room wall. Thanks Laurie - will be back to purchase for my place when I'm ready. Deb.

  • James Ryan

My wife and I visited Mandel Gallery with little knowledge of indigenous art but a keenness to learn. We spent over two hours there enjoying the beautiful paintings on display in Laurie's large and light filled gallery. Laurie was very patient and his knowledge of indigenous artists helped us select a painting that we are delighted to now own. We will definitely go back to Mandel when we are ready to purchase our next painting and highly recommend Mandel Gallery to others.

  • Mason Briner

I came to Mandel looking for a painting for a birthday present and had left my run late... I thought finding the right painting was a long shot, let alone getting the painting framed if it was needed. Laurie was super helpful in terms of both selection and then getting the piece framed, both of which happened in time to give the gift. There's beautiful art throughout the gallery and Laurie is a great help with strong expertise. Thank you.

  • G Guiltreg

I have just received the most beautiful painting from Mandel Aboriginal Art Gallery. Laurie is so helpful and sent me many pictures before hand and everything was so well organised. Richard delivered on time. It was the best experience from start to finish. I was also surprised on how quickly the painting came. I highly recommend Mandel Art Gallery. Laurie is very responsive and friendly. You will not be disappointed. Thank you so much!

  • Kathleen O'Ryan

We can't fault our experience with Laurie at Mandel Art Gallery He went out of his way to show us a range of options which helped us choose the stunning piece we ended up buying. He had a fabulous collection, across a range of styles, sizes, colours and prices and a wealth of knowledge about the artists and experience which he shared. The service was terrific and the artpiece which was shipped to us arrived as advised.

  • sylvia billington

The owner was really helpful with everything. From knowledge about the artist to postage and transportation and taxes of the painting. The paintings were displayed on the wall which is the perfect way to judge the size of the picture and see it in the best light. I’ve bought paintings here before and this is my second time back. I’ll definitely be back again. His paintings go all around the world. I love them

  • tbd-241001-Owen Evans

I can highly recommend Mandel Aboriginal Art gallery after my recent purchase. Laurie was very knowledgeable, responsive and helpful, and the information about the works displayed a real love and concern for the art and artists. Lots of photos to help with an online purchase made a big difference. Then to receive the package which had been wrapped with such care was a real comfort. All-round 5 star service.

  • Peter Moore

Laurie made my experience of purchasing a stunning piece by Gabriella Possum an enjoyable and educational one. His knowledge sharing and honesty was appreciated plus his genuine care for the artists he stocks is outstanding. To top it off Laurie managed to achieve framing and delivery in a matter of days, with him even helping to get my purchase up on the wall. Thanks Laurie, I'll be back.

  • Michelle Vezer

We had the most amazing experience. We were looking to send a gift internationally for a birthday. Laurie went above and beyond the call of duty. He even bought a birthday card and wrote a note from us to send along with it. Amazing artwork from brilliant artists and undeniably, the best customer service we have received in a very long time. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Laurie!

  • Ivan Zed

Laurie was great to deal with. He went out of his way to frame and deliver our painting in super-quick time at a busy time of year. There is a broad, diverse and extremely large collection of paintings to choose from, in all sizes, colours and styles. Pricing was reasonable, and we got exceptional advice and attention. If you're wanting indigenous art, this is the place you have to go.

  • Amy O'Keefe

My partner and I were lucky enough to be able to choose one of the beautiful pieces at Mandel as a wedding gift. Laurie was very professional, attentive and knowledgeable. The gallery is huge and there are so many stunning pieces to choose from. We received a certificate of authenticity with the dreaming on it at purchase. We’ll be back! Couldn’t recommend more.

  • Jane Whitford

Laurie was very helpful with my purchase and went out of his way to have the painting stretched and ready in a timely way. The gallery is a beautiful place and very respectful to the artists represented there. I highly recommend Mandel to anyone seeking to buy a precious artwork and or simply seeking a place to experience and view wonderful indigenous images.

  • Diana Mandanici

Absolutely in love with the painting we purchased from Mandel Art Gallery on Sunday 7th March 2021. Laurie was so helpful and it was a pleasure to speak with him and tap into his knowledge of the artwork he had on offer. Excellent service, Laurie delivered our piece about an hour after we purchased it which was appreciated. Would definitely recommend.

  • mandy lalor

Cannot thank Laurie enough for our new Aboriginal Paintings. Wanting a painting with zero experience or price ideas I felt very comfortable. We felt comfortable and never pressed to purchase. Laurie asked what we liked and was only to happy to guide us. We settled on 2 Paintings which we absolutely love. We’ll be back!! Michael and Mandy

  • Kelsey Sobomehin

I am so glad I found this gallery. It was a 20min drive outside of the city center but it was very well worth it. The gallery has a wide range of styles and each aboriginal piece was beautiful. My favorite part is that there were many options in my low-mid price range. The staff and owner were conversational and helpful. Highly recommend

  • Margaret Roche

Such a fantastic experience, so many amazing paintings, you also get the history of the artist and certificate. On the advice of Laurie we got our painting framed and he was right it just makes our painting stand out more. Painting was framed and delivered within a week. We had the best experience here and highly recommend. Mags and Ben

  • Gabrielle Honeywood

I am very happy with the beautiful, bright colourful Gabriella Possum Nungurrayi painting I purchased from Mandel Aboriginal Art Gallery. The shadow frame 'finishes' it and was worth waiting for and Laurie delivering it to my home was a bonus. Many of the works there are a delight to behold...a treasure trove.
