I also like it. It is a "one-joke" film though. A term used for a film that is like telling one joke. The punchline is, he commits suicide over his own painting and all the buildup is the joke telling. I am fine with one-joke films if they are short. I say shoot it yourself. Try to keep it around 3 min.

I agree. You don't need an actual art gallery - just fake it with a long hall or room with little furniture.
