Art for the younger siblings:
Nothing says ‘I get you’ to your younger siblings like a unique artwork. They play it cool but deep inside you may even momentarily become ‘cool’ in their eyes.
Cat’s Cradle by Nicole Chui
Original Embroidered Photograph, £280
“Inspired by embracing bottled up emotions. Capturing the moment right before your release all that hidden honesty.”
Power Objects by Sophie Rawlingson
Embroidery on Fabric, £200
“Power Objects is all about finding those accessories that make you feel like you.”
hold me close by Joanna Layla
Limited Edition of 25 Giclée prints, £90
“This piece means a lot to me. It speaks to me as a young woman who loves fashion whilst yearning for a greater awareness of how our choices affect the planet.”
Art for the older siblings:
Nothing says ‘I look up to you’ or ‘thank you for being there’ to your cool and collected older siblings like a unique artwork. They will be genuinely impressed which is not a small thing.
MAN by Denisha Anderson
Limited Edition of 50 Giclée prints, £130
“MAN ultimately is a series that aims to provide new narrative for ALL men. I hope this will evoke new perspectives on how we see the body and nudity, for both men and women alike.”
Bar Fog by Jemima Sara
Ink on Paper, £195
“Being tipsy makes me smile so I dance, but I hate feeling out of control. “
Walking with my sister by Caroline Cornelius
Watercolour and Acrylic Gouache on 300gsm Paper, £350
“Watching my twin daughters walking home together. Always a step behind, walking in silence but with the inescapable bond of sisterhood.”
Well nice day by Josef Neet
Acrylic on Canvas, £200
“Broad gestural strokes combined with earthy palette of greens, browns and blues spring to mind an outdoor landscape.”
Art for the dads:
Nothing says ‘I really wanted to buy you something other than socks this year, dad’ like a unique artwork. First time you will see your dad happily surprised.
A Caña and a sardine in the morning by Theo Bardsley
Acrylic & Oil stick on Canvas, £775
“In Spanish culture it’s fairly common to have a beer and a small bit of food in the morning, with people mixing from all ages.”
Blues A2 by Oscar T Wilson
Ink, Acrylic and Spray paint on Cotton Rag paper, £150
“Mischief seems to make its way into all of my work. Paint and ink will always be dear to me. They are the go-to tools of expression much like the skateboard or the water pistol.”
Button Lift by Caroline Cornelius
Watercolour on 300gsm Paper, £350
“Sitting on the ski lift, feeling it pull you along, the squeak of snow under ski, peacefulness as you watch the trees go past.”
Lost Configuration by Sabrina Brouwers
Gesso, Acrylic & Oil Pastel on Paper, £130
“This series encouraged me to represent the circles within my compositions as a single footstep. The layering of these ‘footsteps’ represents the repetitiveness of mundane quotidian journeys and results in the construction of my own map.”
LDN by Gregory Davies
Limited Edition of 50 Giclée prints, £150
“London captured from hard to reach places at magical moments – nothing more to say.”
Art for the mums:
Nothing says ‘you’re the best mum in the world’ like a unique artwork. You just can’t go wrong, they will love it.
The Black Dog by Beth Fraser
Mixed Media Collage on Paper, £495
“This is one of the first pieces I created in lockdown. The dog in front of her dress was a kind of happy accident, hidden in the shadow, but I like to think it makes reference to The Black Dog pub I was so subconsciously missing.”
Power in Obscurity by Emmanuel Unaji
Acrylic, Watercolour, Oil Stick & Collage on Paper, £400
“A study of the contradictory essence of images & reality. Is what we see a reflection of what the subject feels or does the artist project their narrative onto the muse ?”
Shooting by Eva Merendes
Acrylic Inks on Cartridge Paper, £150
“In this series I explore the healing effects of inks. The mesmerising effect of the ink’s fluidity and the way they run all around the white surface fills me with hope and energy.”
Red by Joanna Layla
Ink on Fabriano cotton Rag Paper 250 gsm, £350
“The colour so strong, the gesture so intimate. There is something precious about the minimalism, the personal visual language, of sketchbooks. Red is an exploration of taking this language to a larger scale.”
