How can I effectively categorize artworks by artist in an online art gallery?

[Adiemme]

Hello! I need to create a shop for an Art Gallery where customers can shop by Artist.

Each Artist’s page has to show artworks grouped by “category” (e.g. Paintings, Sculptures, Special Editions…).

So, for example, John Doe created 6 artworks, 3 are Paintings and 3 are Sculptures.

Clicking on the single artwork will lead to the product page of course.

I added a metafield to each artwork where I store the category and I created a collection for each Artist. But I don’t know how to show the pieces grouped by category on the Artist’s page. I’m afraid I am not on the right path.

What is the best way to handle this structure?

Below is a simplified view of the 2 main pages.

Thank you!

Hey @Adiemme ,

You could create collections for all these and create a new page and group them using the Featured Collections block

Got it, thank you for this suggestion!
So, I should create a dedicated template for each Artist and manually select featured collections, right? And the Artist List page would be a custom page too if I understand well.

It should be one custom page and then you’d create multiple collections. And use the “Featured Collection” block to feature all of them

E.g.

Hi! Thank you so much for your suggestion! After some research and some extra coding I found a solution that seems to work well for my use case.

Cheers!
