Scam Starvd Art Gallery Singapore
This gallery hits all the marks of a Scam – with connections to an artist (?) Andrew Paton/Leddy (https://www.artpaton.online) who claims to be a graduate of the esteemed Julian Ashton Art School in Sydney. A lie. A man with a long history of damaging artists, and many techniques that artists would be advised to brush up on to avoid his scams, or similar scams by other dubious galleries: https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=10221322138755326&set=a.1141896519955. Artists have reported unpleasant dealings with Starvd Art plus previous galleries.

The scam gallery Starvd Art is now the scam gallery STUDIO LUMOS. It is renting a space at the Old Parliament House site, in Singapore. The Intercultural Theatre Institute (ITI) , which leases this studio space, has confirmed that it is rented by Andrew Paton. The ITI has researched Paton’s background, plus local feedback, and will be ending his lease at the end of 2024.
Paton makes no reference to himself on his Studio Lumos Artsy site. Instead, he has concocted the name Ohr Luce, previously Daw Ohr Luce. Online references to these names make claims of art being in international collections, showcase shows in Asia, Europe and London, being a European, being classically trained. All a lie!
Andrew Paton has spent a lot of time concocting. At least six artists have been invented on his Artsy Studio Lumos site, and do not exist. Paton has concocted their artwork, and their fake profiles.
Paton is selling prints of Australian artists. There is no evidence of these works in situ, the possibility being raised that these, if sold, will be purchased from a secondary seller. A leading expert on John Coburn has raised an authenticity flag about the ‘rare’ John Coburn print that is for sale.
Stay clear of Andrew Paton. Stay clear of Studio Lumos. A lot of evidence has been collected on this man’s ruses.
See these Facebook Posts that follow Paton’s scams since 2015.

Hello Andrew Leddy/Paton. I presume you wrote the comment below. Everything written in the original post is true. You are undeniably a thief and a plagiarist and a low-rent bore. I suppose you could argue that the ‘low-rent bore’ description is subjective, but as to your being a ‘thief’ and a ‘plagiarist’, I could get thirty people here in Australia to swear to your being a thief and a plagiarist without raising a sweat. If anyone is interested, please see what this thief was up to in Singapore in 2022. Andrew Leddy (aka Andrew Paton aka James Francis aka Ameer Sohail etc) plagiarised a mural and then entered another artist’s artwork into an art prize claiming the work as his own.

Stop perpetuating stalking and hate “anonymous” – leave this guy alone. None of what you say is true. You’re a sad joke and you hide behind social media to spread hate and harm to innocent people for your own ends!
