Finding the Right Piece

Why Art Makes the Perfect Gift

While we all love giving the gift that wows, finding the right piece isn't always easy. Figurative or abstract, people or places, everyone has different ideas about what makes the perfect artwork.

In this article we're going to have a look at some of our gallery favourites.

The Showstopper

Do you know a lover of figurative art? Someone who admires light, colour and art that inspires emotion?

Fabian Perez is lauded as one of our most accomplished contemporary artists. His bold, atmospheric pieces make a real statement, and we have some stunning new releases for Christmas. 

Bringing dramatic moments, vibrant colours and beautiful characters, Perez works are a fantastic investment as well as being incredibly popular.

Sending a Message

The Slopes are Always a Good Idea by The Real Hackney Dave overlays the diamond dusted phrase onto a vintage mountain map.

Perhaps you're looking for something with a different kind of statement; maybe a graphic piece, a wry message, a comment on life. The work of The Real Hackney Dave brings all those things, and truly stands out wherever you see it.  

Working with found materials and images and experimenting with screen printing techniques by hand, The Real Hackney Dave creates artworks which tell their own story. Overlaying traditional materials such as maps with a variety of media, including glitter, sprinkles and gold leaf, we love the juxtaposition between these elements. With backgrounds to explore and messages that resonate, his art is always a good idea!

Typography in art is very popular, in this previous article, Why We Enjoy Typography in Art, we explored some of our other favourites.

Who Do You Love?

Perhaps you're sending a message of love.

We love, Love Life by artist Dave White. A piece that celebrates connection and joy with a tiny mouse, painted in gold, russet, and soft neutrals, gazing up at a single scarlet heart. The piece is enhanced with vibrant red UV and a delicate diamond shimmer, playful yet poignant and capturing the tenderness and optimism characteristic of White’s work.

This is a charming and uplifting statement artwork for any collector, or lover of art that makes you smile. Sold out everywhere else but currently available here, this piece has been very much in demand.

Celebrate Your Space

Are you thinking of someone who loves to travel? Where do they go exploring? Whether you're looking for landscapes, seascapes, or cityscapes we can help you find a piece that will take you anywhere.

Henderson Cisz, for example, creates stunning works which bring vibrant cities to life. Delicate cityscapes that capture the romance of European cities such as Paris and Venice, and the bustle of London and New York.

His work beautifully depicts the life of the cities, with structure created by the buildings and the people going about their day, oblivious. The weather also plays a big part in his paintings, not only affecting the shadows on the buildings and slicks on the ground, but also the posture of the people. London? Paris? New York? You choose!

Wonderful Christmastime

Maybe you're looking for something that's unmistakably Christmas. A piece that will be celebrated every year, becoming part of a new tradition. Tom Butler has given us an eye-catching, inspiring, and entertaining snowscape to celebrate.

Snow Motion brings us his take on the Christmas season with vibrant energy and nostalgia, capturing the magic of a winter day in Trafalgar Square—as we've never seen it before. Like all of his work, this is a show-stopping collage that brings together a range of materials into a highly detailed piece with numerous Easter eggs, offering many hours of discovery.
 
Painted with expressive brushwork and a soft palette of icy blues, creams, and festive reds, this uplifting London winter scene celebrates joy, community, and the spirit of the season. 


Disney Magic

The magic of Disney appeals to people of all ages, did you know that we can help you find the perfect gift for your own Pixieduster? In fact, this year we have something incredibly special.

Mr Brainwash has collaborated with Disney to create a new collection of works celebrating Mickey and Minnie Mouse while keeping elements and styling that collectors will recognise. 

An incredible artist, Mr Brainwash is known for bringing us cultural icons in settings and styles that we might not have experienced before. With this Disney collaboration, we’re getting a wonderful new perspective on our family favourites - you won't have seen Mickey like this before.

If you're looking for something special to celebrate this season, why not explore our Christmas Gifting gallery.
