The best online sources for art


Art is one of the elements that can make a room schemes come together. The pieces you use need to have a personal meaning for you and more often than not can influence the colour scheme. How often have we heard an interior designer say "the colour scheme in this room was influenced by a favourite piece of art the owner has'.

Art is of course down to personal taste but there are quire a few styles that are really trending currently like abstract and pop art and which we see in many homes over and over. As usual we have found some really interesting pieces and listed numerous sources, doing all the hard work for you!

PORTRAIT

Portraits are hard to choose. They do spark a conversation though! "Who's this? Do you known them?" And there's almost always a little story that the artist might be able to share with you about the subject of the painting you just bought.

PHOTOGRAPHY

Photography prints can be more affordable than original art sometimes - depending on the artist of course. Some galleries offer a lower grade of prints, for example printed as poster with the Gallery logo on, as opposed to printing on high quality archival paper and signed by the artist.

As before, when buying photography prints as an investment, ensure that you get a certificate of authenticity, and that your print is numbered and signed by the artist. Smaller editions (e.g. an edition of 50 prints only) will command higher prices for a well known artist. Here are a few often mentioned artists:

Tommy Clarke takes his striking aerial views from 90 degree angles, relying on natural light for an authentic shot. His work creates patterns out of containers, boats and sun-bathers, revolving around the sea and the coastline.

His coastal views take in Australian beaches, turbulent oceans and industrial structures. His work has been featured in numerous publications including The Telegraph, The Times and the Daily Mail.
