_______________

Nicky Litchfield is a British painter who turns everyday English landscapes into glowing stage sets of memory and mood. Born in Preston in 1983, she grew up roaming the Ribble valley and sketching in the margins of exercise books, absorbing the soft greens, tawny browns and pearl greys that still dominate her palette. After completing a fine art degree at the University of Central Lancashire she settled in the Cotswolds, converting an old stone barn into a studio where natural light pours across canvases propped on handmade easels.

Working in oils applied with bristle brushes and palette knives, Litchfield builds luminous surfaces through patient layering. She begins each piece on location, making quick charcoal notations of sky shapes and tree gestures, then retreats indoors to develop the scene from imagination, allowing remembered sensations of wind, birdsong and shifting cloud to guide colour choices. Meadows glow with buttercup yellows, village chimneys rise against rose madder sunsets and distant hills dissolve into ultramarine haze, creating atmospheres that feel simultaneously real and dreamlike.

Her subject matter celebrates the familiar: hedgerows heavy with hawthorn, a lone oak beside a wheat field, terraced houses reflected in rain wet pavement. Yet she heightens reality, pushing tonal contrasts and simplifying forms so that ordinary views become quietly theatrical, inviting viewers to step inside a calmer, kinder England.

Recent exhibitions at Forest Gallery, Stratford upon Avon and the Biscuit Factory, Newcastle have sold out, while private commissions allow collectors to memorialise favourite walks or childhood homes. Whether painting a sweeping valley or a single blossom branch against a window, Litchfield seeks the fragile moment when light turns land into poetry, reminding us that beauty thrives in the landscapes we think we already know.

Fuchsia Macaree 'Floating' Print Available

Artist: Fuchsia Macaree
Title: Floating
Medium: Giclee Print
Size: (A1) 59.4 x 84.1 cm
Edition: 150
Price: €135

Fuchsia Macaree is an Irish illustrator whose bright, pared-back scenes celebrate the quiet poetry of everyday life. Born in Dublin and now based in County Clare, she trained in Visual Communication at the National College of Art & Design before completing an MA in Illustration at Camberwell College of Arts, London. This grounding in design taught her to distil complex ideas into clear visual language, a skill that underpins her instantly recognisable style: solid blocks of warm colour, simplified perspectives and bold, looping outlines that guide the eye straight to the heart of the story.

Her imagery springs from people watching and coastal walks. Sketchbooks fill with fleeting moments two friends sharing crisps and pints at 8:40 pm, swimmers greeting a high tide, cyclists paused under streetlights which she then translates into prints, murals, editorial illustrations and even way-finding maps. Crucial details remain (a packet of Tayto, the curve of a Galway bay), yet backgrounds are stripped to flat planes of coral, teal and butter yellow, allowing recognisable warmth to shine through.

Macaree’s client list spans cultural institutions and global brands. She has created campaigns for Google’s Dublin data centre, rebranded Center Parcs with nature-rich graphics, designed mental health imagery for the text service 50808 and drawn tidal calendars that encourage wild swimming along the Wild Atlantic Way. Her bestselling Great Irish Weather Book (Gill Books, 2018) cements her gift for turning meteorological data into engaging visual narrative.

Recent exhibitions at Hang Tough Contemporary and Plámás Gallery showcase large scale prints and painted panels that continue to elevate ordinary Irish life into joyful, luminous art, proving that simplicity, when rooted in sincere observation, can carry the weight of shared memory and collective delight.

Oli Fowler 'Fuck Yeah' Print Available

Artist: Oli Fowler
Title: Fuck Yeah
Medium: Hand Pulled 3 Layer Flouro Screen Print
Size: (A1) 59.4 x 84.1 cm
Edition: 50
Price: £200

Oli Fowler is a London based contemporary artist who has built a reputation for bold, layered screen prints that merge graphic design energy with fine art experimentation. Raised in the quiet village of Kimpton, Hertfordshire, he moved to the city in 1999 to study fashion at Central Saint Martins, but quickly gravitated toward printmaking, drawn to the immediacy of ink pulled through mesh and the happy accidents that occur when colours overlap.

Working from a Dalston studio, Fowler begins each piece with photographs of mundane objects, tin foil sculptures and rough paper collages, assembling these fragments into what he calls a “collage scrapbook style”. The resulting compositions are scanned, simplified and translated into hand cut stencils, allowing him to build complex abstract fields from solid spot colours, gritty textures and crisp black outlines. Recent editions such as BrexitWrecksIt2 layer political satire beneath neon pink ink, proving that tight graphic precision can still carry a mischievous punch.

Edition sizes remain small, often fewer than fifty, and each sheet is pulled on recycled paper that bears the subtle tooth of traditional printmaking stock. The tactile surface invites close inspection, revealing tiny registration shifts and ink splatters that Fowler refuses to tidy, arguing that these marks record the moment of creation.

When he is not printing, Fowler teaches screen printing workshops and collaborates with local musicians, translating gig posters into limited art objects that fans can take home. Through every layer of colour he celebrates the city that shaped him, offering viewers a vibrant map of London’s restless creative spirit.

Ai Weiwei 'Sunflower Seed' Print Available

Artist: Ai Weiwei
Title: Sunflower Seed
Medium: Children's Toy Bricks on Baseplate
Size: 38 x 38 cm
Edition: 100
Price: £6,000

Ai Weiwei is a Chinese contemporary artist, architect and activist whose work fuses monumental aesthetics with unflinching political critique. Born in Beijing in 1957, he grew up in exile after his poet father Ai Qing was condemned during the Anti-Rightist Movement; cleaning public toilets and living in a dug-out earthen room gave him an early lesson in state power and personal resilience.

Trained at the Beijing Film Academy, he co-founded the avant-garde group Stars in 1979 and later moved to New York, soaking up pop art and conceptual strategies. Returning to China in 1993, he began using everyday materials to question authority: Dropping a Han Dynasty Urn (1995) photographs the artist shattering a 2,000-year-old ceremonial vessel to indict Mao’s destruction of heritage; Sunflower Seeds (2010) fills Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall with 100 million hand-painted porcelain seeds, exposing collective labour and the illusion of uniformity.

Architecture plays a key role. His design for Beijing’s 2008 Olympic “Bird’s Nest” stadium was meant to symbolise openness, yet he later denounced the Games as propaganda and produced documentaries exposing the hidden toll of rapid urban development. After investigating the 2008 Sichuan earthquake he created Remembering (2009), a wall of 9,000 children’s backpacks spelling “She lived happily for seven years,” a memorial to pupils who died in shoddy school buildings.

In 2011 he was detained for 81 days without charge, an experience that deepened his focus on surveillance, exile and refugee crises. Works such as Trace (2014) array 1.2 million LEGO portraits of political prisoners on the floor, while Roots (2019) casts endangered Brazilian tree roots in rust-coloured iron to evoke displacement and deforestation. Now based in Portugal, Ai continues to produce films, installations and social-media provocations, insisting that “all art is political” and that freedom of expression is the basic right required for humanity to defend itself.

Yeye Weller 'Just Be Kind' Print Available

Artist: Yeye Weller
Title: Just Be Kind
Medium: Giclee Print
Size: (A2) 42 x 59.4 cm
Edition: 25
Price: £99

Yeye Weller is a UK artist who paints joy. Born in 1990 and raised in Eastbourne, he studied illustration at the University of Brighton, where he began translating beach town energy into bold digital prints. Working under the playful alias “Yeye,” he crafts flat, brightly coloured scenes that celebrate everyday pleasure: ice-cream cones, sunbathers, vintage cars and smiling dogs float across pastel skies like postcards from an endless summer. His process starts with quick pencil doodles, which are scanned and refined in Procreate. Simple shapes are layered, offset and filled with candy pinks, mint greens and butter yellows, creating a retro print aesthetic that nods to 1950s travel posters and 1980s surf graphics. Figures are reduced to essential outlines, yet each face carries a distinct grin, inviting viewers to project their own happiness onto the canvas.

Weller’s optimistic vision has attracted commercial clients including Adidas, Ray-Ban and National Geographic, yet he balances paid work with personal projects that keep the spirit loose. Limited-edition screen prints are released through online galleries such as They Made This, often selling out within hours. Each print is hand-pulled on heavyweight cotton paper, signed and numbered, then packaged with stickers and a hand-written thank you, reinforcing the friendly tone that runs through every aspect of his practice.

Beyond the studio, Weller paints public murals in coastal towns, transforming dull seawalls and shop shutters into vibrant playgrounds. Whether designing a beer label or a six-metre beach scene, he approaches each project with the same goal: spread colour, spark smiles and remind viewers that happiness is always within reach.

Matt Herring 'Nature's Alchemy I' Print Available

Artist: Matt Herring
Title: Nature's Alchemy I
Medium: Framed Gold Leaf on Giclee Print
Size: 26 x 26 Inches
Edition: 95
Price: $1,683

Matt Herring is a British painter who turns the everyday into the quietly extraordinary. Born in 1986 and raised in rural Oxfordshire, he studied fine art at Oxford Brookes University, where he began recording the subtle dramas that unfold along hedgerows, canals and backyard fences. Working in oil and acrylic on panel, he builds luminous surfaces through patient layering, allowing under-painting to glow through translucent glazes so even a concrete path seems lit from within.

His subject matter is deceptively simple: a discarded crisp packet snagged on cow parsley, a supermarket trolley half submerged in a pond, pigeons quarrelling on a rooftop television aerial. Yet Herring renders these scenes with the reverence once reserved for grand history paintings, inviting viewers to reconsider the dignity of the disregarded. Colour is central. Muted earth tones suddenly ignite with a flash of cadmium red or cerulean blue, echoing the surprise of sunlight on broken glass.

Composition is carefully balanced. Canvases are often square, referencing Instagram’s format while slowing the eye to linger on texture and temperature. Negative space breathes around objects, so a single crisp packet floats like a religious relic against an expansive sky.

Recent series Nature’s Alchemy, available through The Rose Gallery, explores the strange chemistry between litter and landscape, transforming discarded cans and wet cardboard into glowing artefacts. Each piece is finished with a high-gloss resin coat that reflects the viewer, implicating us in the scene.

Whether painting a flooded allotment or a fox silhouetted against sodium streetlight, Herring captures the fragile moment when the ordinary becomes quietly miraculous, reminding us that beauty thrives in the overlooked corners of daily life.

The Real Hackney Dave 'The Slopes Are Always A Good Idea' Print Available

Artist: The Real Hackney Dave
Title: Ibiza Is Always A Good Idea
Medium: Framed One Color on Giclee Print
Size: Framed 41 x 33 Inches
Edition: 195
Price: $2,350

The Real Hackney Dave is the flamboyant working alias of Dave Buonaguidi, a British artist whose career began in the high pressure world of advertising and mutated into a love affair with print, paint and public space. Born in 1967 and raised in Peterborough, he studied graphic design at Camberwell College of Arts, then spent two decades as an award-winning creative director at London agency St Luke’s. 

Working from a light filled studio in Margate, Buonaguidi builds textured surfaces by pushing acrylic and aerosol through coarse linen mesh, then attacks the results with sandpaper, wire brushes and even power hoses. The process reveals ghost images beneath the surface, creating works that feel both weather beaten and freshly born. His palette leans toward maritime blues, sunbleached reds and storm cloud greys, colours that echo the Kent coastline outside his window.

Typography plays a central role. Snippets of overheard conversation, half-remembered song lyrics and advertising slogans appear in bold, distressed letterforms that float across the canvas like fragments of urban noise. Recent series feature vintage postcards of British seaside towns, overprinted with urgent questions about identity, belonging and the passage of time.

Commercial clients including Nike, Levi’s and the BBC have commissioned his distinctive style, yet Buonaguidi remains committed to independent projects. He co-founded the print studio and gallery St Jude’s, championing other artists who share his belief in raw, imperfect beauty. Workshops and talks allow him to spread the gospel of creative risk, encouraging participants to embrace mistakes as portals to originality.

Whether printing on salvaged wood, hand torn paper or sections of old sailcloth, Buonaguidi treats every surface as a conversation between intention and chance. The result is work that feels alive, honest and unafraid to show its scars.

Size: 50 x 66 cm
Edition: 28
Price: €400

 

David Buonaguidi is a British artist and printmaker who has turned the happy accident into a personal philosophy. Born in 1967 and raised in Peterborough, he studied graphic design at Camberwell College of Arts before spending two decades in advertising, eventually becoming creative director at St Luke’s in London. A spell of burnout led him to screen printing, where he discovered that mis-registered layers, drips and smudges could speak louder than polished perfection.

Working from an airy studio in Margate, Buonaguidi builds textured surfaces by pushing paint through coarse linen mesh, then attacks the results with sandpaper, wire brushes and even power hoses. The process reveals ghost images beneath the surface, creating works that feel both weathered and freshly born. His palette leans toward maritime blues, sun bleached reds and storm cloud greys, colours that echo the Kent coastline outside his window.

Amy Gardner 'Life' Print Available

Artist: Amy Gardner
Title: Life
Medium: Multi Color Screen Print
Size: (A3) 29.7 x 42 cm
Edition: 50
Price: £125

 

Amy Gardner is an Australian born, London based multimedia artist whose work bursts with bold colour and uplifting energy. Celebrating womanhood and the power of women supporting women, she draws on the hidden labour and physical movements of female experience to create pieces that feel both instinctive and rebellious. Using found images from 1950s advertising archives, she smashes idealised notions of the perfect woman, revealing how archaic stereotypes still echo in contemporary culture.

Her process is playful and non-conformist. Gardner merges lino, screen and monoprint techniques with gestural swooshes of ink, collage and photography, often employing unconventional tools like spatulas, brooms and wallpaper brushes to push paint across the surface. She deliberately mis-registers stencils and embraces imperfections, allowing each season of work to tell a different story while hinting at the subtle ways women have historically subverted their allotted roles .

Working from her home studio and communal print spaces across London, Gardner produces vibrant compositions that dance between abstraction and figuration. Her use of energetic movement, colour and flow creates uplifting images that champion uniqueness and celebrate our flaws. Her work can be found in private collections worldwide and is exhibited at galleries and international art fairs throughout the UK.

In addition to her studio practice, Gardner founded Aunt Joy Gallery, a collective of female artists aiming to improve representation of women in the art world and pave a smoother path for young female creatives. Through her art and advocacy, she continues to make a significant impact on the contemporary British art scene.
