What artwork do you own / favourite artist?

GinG · 1 Sep 2013 at 17:15

Thought it would be interesting to see everyone's different taste and to see if we have any similar collectors on here.

To start me and the wife love Doug Hyde. Having only owned a house and lived together for 3 years we have a small collection due to financial commitments in other avenues but slowly growing (excuse the dust!!):

Turns into this:

Going to get it framed in the same frame as this one:

I really want some nice big landscape pictures/canvases for my walls. I don't know why, I just like landscapes the best

Not got anything yet but planning to look at getting a few pictures in, really helps make a home feel like home!

I have a couple of Kerry Darlington originals plus a small Neil Dawson pastel and oil original with a mix of prints dotted around the house by A J Hateley.

I have the two sets (8/10) of Firefly posters from https://store.qmxonline.com/

It looks stunning

Gave it to the wife for our first wedding anniversary. She's a massive Columbo fan

Tell me that isn't a REAL original Jackson Pollock piece!

Really impressive.

As for the artwork question, don't have any but love Lowrys work.

I very nearly bought a Rolf Harris last year. Still can't decide if I had a lucky escape or a missed opportunity.

Was once offered a lovely piece by an Indian artist called Raza. It was £2k and I couldn't afford it. Pity because six years later a mate working for Christies sold one for £250k. Gutted doesn't come close.

Anyway, here are some of my pictures, sorry for the bad photos:

Only artwork I have up in my house are prints of these, both by Jef Bertels. He does the artwork for all the Ayreon albums and once I found his original work I fell in love with it, something about the style hits me just right.

The_Baron · 8 Sep 2013 at 21:29

I have a couple of Seth Marshall originals depicting Cornish seascapes.

PlacidCasual · 8 Sep 2013 at 22:21

We recently bought our first piece of original art by a Lincolnshire painter called Glynne James. We have seen other pieces we're interested in but still making our minds up.

I think the top one is, bottom one isn't. Not too sure, but very Pollock inspired either way

The Jackson Pollock piece is on display at the Museum of Contemporary Art LA if you want to see it in the flesh.

Just bought a Keith Proctor for the missus:

Russinating · 5 Oct 2013 at 09:46

There's a local art shop around here that has the ocassional acrylic canvas that I really like, but they're all about £2-3,000.

Really like Anthony Garret:

And Carl Melegari:

One day! All I have at the moment are my own photos on canvases plus a couple of prints like the awesome film map: http://www.wearedorothy.com/shop/film-map-original-open-edition
