Art on your walls...
Discussion
Found these amazing original fairground ride entrance posts .... they still need some work, going to put candy resin on the sides where the original paint has sadly been striped and re-wire the arrow lights. I love them so much, never seen anything like them. Look so perfect sitting either side of the door going out of the neon/fairground/dining cave.
Apologies in advance for carp photos...
Graeme Wilcox - Really original take on portraiture, although sadly I can only afford his smaller works
My nod to the twee, but it's the school that my grandmother went to. 'Time without Shadows' by Mackenzie Thorpe
Kate Moss by Tracy Emin
Not to everybody's taste, but this is a pastel by Peter Howson
Stencil spray art commission from a friend of mine

This is one of my Kealey Farmers
Having grown up in London I always wanted a London scene but could never find one I liked. I didn't want the usual Bridge/Taxi/Routemaster. Never could find one. Then after about 25 years I walked into someones house and there it was. For me it was Wow, although Lady B doesn't share that
Artist was Rayford and with days I had one on reserve. Transpired it was the last one, good news it was an AP, bad news was it didn't have the lovely gloss black frame. I still had it though. It's one of those 3D resins

i have this in the lounge absolutely love her stuff: Danielle OConnor Akiyama
want this one day to go with it:
Just browsing through this thread from the beginning the other week and thought - I really like that. Last week happened to be in Stratford and wandered into a gallery and would you believe a selection of her work on show. want this one day to go with it:
Result being
So moral of the story is do not read through threads from the beginning as it can turn out expensive. Who can I sue
Just bought 2/150 of this - the original is huge 54" x46" and has sold for quite a lot of money. The Artist is Jeremy Thomas
Currently he is at Cardiff Xmas market (between St Davids 1 & 2 selling his prints, coasters and cards if you like his stuff. You can see a bit more of the work at jeremythomasart.co.uk

Absolutely love these ! Have you done anymore work to them ?

Absolutely love Howsons work.
Would love to own one. Nearly did but didn`t go through with it and regret it yet.
Only issue now is that he churned out a load of work at one point to stave of bankruptcy and I`m not keen on a lot of it. This also seems to have driven up the price of his earlier stuff. The stuff I like

Yes, I started to struggle when he went through his redemptive/religious stage. Would love to own one. Nearly did but didn`t go through with it and regret it yet.

I generally enjoy his pastels more than his paintings, but like you I passed up the opportunity to buy the one below and the more I see it online, the more I'm annoyed that I didn't take the plunge.

A related question. Does anyone have experience of purchasing reproductions from Thailand/Vietnam? I remember seeing loads of places in Koh Samui that did this a few years ago, very skilled people. Looking for a Picasso or Miro
Several years ago we had a few done, a Hopper, 3 Picasso, and an O'Keefe. They were ordered through a US broker and were executed in China. I can't recall the details, but I do recall that getting them stretched and framed locally cost more than the paintings. They were extremely good oil on canvas copies. Indeed, individually they cost less than limited edition Picasso prints we bought from John Lewis fifteen years ago.n_const said:

I think we may just get a traditional fairground paint on the sides

Yes I expect framing to cost more, but I'd rather have oil based copies than limited edition prints. JackReacher said:

Yes I expect framing to cost more, but I'd rather have oil based copies than limited edition prints. We have mainly contemporary art that we tend to buy from exhibitions of up-coming talent and, occasionally from the RA summer exhibition.
We also have, inherited from my grandparents a pair of Edward Seago oils of Pin Mill and one of his landscapes of Stoke-By-Nayland. No pics as they are in London and we're in France at the moment.
My grandparents bought a couple of his pictures a year from his annual exhibition in Norwich for donkeys years. They paid somewhere between ten and twenty guineas each for them and had 32 in the end, twenty of which my eldest brother still has. The rest are with my parents, other brothers and me. They weren't bought as such but they've proved quite a shrewd investment

I've been steadily accumulating work to bung up on the walls once the bungalow is finished (could be a while) these are just some -
Edit - a wee bit on the big side, upload doesn't seem to be working for me so they're linked.
