Art on your walls...

[Uriel]

My favourite piece by Hans Sures:







Want this one next



Though what I'd really love is this, but not available

[kazste]

This is my small collection,





I really hope he didn't do it!



Currently this is not on a wall, just gathering dust. Really need to either put it somewhere or sell it.



Another Motorsport related one, currently in the gym.



Apologies about the angle but kept getting reflection, this is also in the gym facing you as you go in.



This is facing the bed in the master bedroom, I love it and spend a great deal of time noticing something new every time I see it, even after three years.







These three are side by side in the hall way, and at the end of the hallway are....



And



All these are done by Rebecca Lardner, who not only is very talented but is also an extremely pleasant lady to spend a while talking to.



This one used to be a house but sadly the sun has faded the windows and the door, the artist keeps asking for it back to re touch it and I really should let him.



Same artist as above, and below. A really nice chap from Nottingham who has a shop near hugo boss.



This is actually the artists jeans which was used as a palate he thought it looked different and mounted it, apparently a few people tried to buy but he wouldn't, when we went to see him it was raining and he didn't want to go to a cash point so he sold it me!



Last one, and my favourite as it was painted by my mum. Took up painting about two years ago and some of her paintings I'm not to sure about but I think this is really nice.

Hope I've not bored anyone, if you feel like commenting either good or bad then I'm happy to read.

I guess much of my wall art isn't actually too artistic in detail but is never boring to look and often, the closer you look the more interesting it gets.

An original "key" map by Taylor and Skinner (1776) showing the individual roads they surveyed and mapped in Scotland



With 3 of the original hand coloured maps of some of my more local roads, again from 1776. These would have been used the same way as a modern road atlas by a horse rider who would carry them as a scroll and unfurl them as the journey progressed



An original hand coloured promotional item from the International Exhibition of Science, Art and Industry from 1886



A pair of John Speed maps of Scotland from 1610 and 1652 (map detail is constant but the side decoration changed as the political circumstances altered)



Some others, the earliest dated 1598

Love that! I could stare at it for hours.

I don't know if it's the effects of a (small) laptop screen but it looks almost 3 Dimensional, as if it curves in and out and has body; I can pretty much imagine holding the 'substance' of it and feel the form and 'body' of it, especially when I start the gaze from the centre. Don't know if that was intended, but works for me!

You're right, it does 'pop' in the flesh too - it's very typical of his work from the 1950s. I think I prefer this one to the other William Gear I have. Google the 'Cobra' group of artists if you like this sort of thing, Gear was part of this along with Stephen Gilbert who I like.

Hmm, interesting, what's the story there? Are you/were you a fccuker?

[vixen1700]

Saw an old mate a couple of weeks back who now lives in Switzerland and saw some work by Christoph Hueppi who he knows and it's fantastic, I'm hoping to get one soon. I particularly like the Microorganisms and Spontaneous Mutation ones. They really leap out at you when you see them in the flesh, amazing how all the dots become three dimensional.

My mate's daughter is trying to arrange a London exhibition for him.

I guess the beauty of art is in the eye of the beholder sometimes. Had a flick through the pages on this thread and there is some still I like and some that I think are tosh. My thing is Caroline Shotton cows - Those eyes watching you all round the lounge creaps some people out!!




I also have this one, which I got a month or so ago. A gift from the partner of a fellow Pistonheader who I have never met or spoke to in person only seen on threads of the hallowed Pistonheads! Its Millie AKA 'Waste bin cat"

I do like the Cow pictures. Are they a passing phase or do you see them as long term paintings, are they original or prints?

[Earthboundmisfit]

Here is a selection of mine. Mostly music related and black and white photos of my girls.
