We were recently thinking about the lunar eclipse and how the celestial bodies have always had such an impact on artists and their work. Enjoy some of our favourite lunar inspiration.
The Whole of the Moon
While March’s lunar eclipse, passed us by - here in Europe. It’s still a perfect opportunity for us to consider just how captivating the night sky can be.
Artists have been inspired by the moon for centuries, drawn to its quiet glow and sense of wonder. One of our best-selling pieces, Moongazing by Doug Hyde, captures that feeling beautifully, pairing it with the heartfelt message “Love You to the Moon and Back”. It's also the perfect opportunity to celebrate Doug’s upcoming visit to the gallery in August - will you be joining us?
Moonlit Landscapes
Atmospheric night scenes are becoming increasingly popular with collectors, offering a calming and contemplative focus in the home. Paul Evans’ incredible contemporary landscapes capture this beautifully, with broad horizons and luminous skies that draw the eye and quieten the mind.
With our concierge delivery and hanging service, Philip has helped a number of our customers create stunning displays in their homes. Looking at this peaceful meadow scene, you can’t help but wonder what nocturnal creatures might be hiding in the moonlight?
To the Moon and Back
The Real Hackney Dave brings us a bold and playful perspective to our heavenly neighbours with his piece, To the Moon and Back. A map of constellations creates the backdrop for a screen-printed message in bold gold glitter lettering.
Working with found materials and hand-printed techniques, Dave blends traditional printmaking with paint and mixed media to create contemporary, deeply personal artworks that really shine!
The Owl Moon
This stunning piece, The Owl Moon by Jackie Morris, is a wonderfully atmospheric celebration of the night sky. Two delicately illustrated barn owls are set against a shimmering gold-leaf background, framed by the phases of the moon. This piece invites us into a quiet, contemplative and mystical moment beneath the moon - enjoy it.
