Jayson Lilley 'Albert Bridge' AP Available

Artist: Jayson Lilley
Title: Albert Bridge
Medium: Gold Leaf Embellished  Screen Print
Size: 69 x 69 cm
Edition: Artist Proof
Price: £575

   

Jayson Lilley is a prominent contemporary British artist, born in Devon in 1972, celebrated for his innovative printmaking that fuses painting, collage, and hand-finished details to create vibrant, architectural cityscapes. After graduating with a first class honours degree in Visual Communication from the University for the Creative Arts in 2000, Lilley had an award winning career in graphic design and advertising, an influence that is still evident in the bold, graphic style of his artwork. He now lives and works in London, drawing inspiration from the hustle and bustle of metropolitan life in cities such as London, New York, and Tokyo.
His signature style is defined by strong compositional structures, clean lines, and a deliberate play of light and shadow, often employing a stark yet bold colour palette. Lilley's fascination lies particularly with twentieth century architecture, from Art Deco to Brutalism, and the way these iconic buildings form silhouettes against the sky. A hallmark of his practice is the addition of materials like gold, copper, or platinum leaf, which add a unique texture and luminosity to the expansive skies in his pieces.
Lilley often pushes the boundaries of traditional printmaking by incorporating culturally significant found materials into his work, such as original London tube maps, vintage Monopoly boards, or even national banknotes, to add layers of symbolism and context to his urban scenes. This innovative approach has earned him international recognition, with his works held in numerous private and corporate collections worldwide, including those of Cartier and John F Kennedy Airport. A widely exhibited artist, Lilley has been featured in prestigious events such as the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition and shortlisted for the Westmorland Landscape Prize, solidifying his reputation as a master of contemporary urban landscapes. His art makes the ordinary iconic, capturing the evolving energy and unique essence of the world's greatest cities.

Magda Archer 'We're In The Shit' Print Available

Artist: Magda Archer
Title: We're In The Shit
Medium: Giclee Print
Size: (A2) 42 x 59.4 cm
Edition: UNSURE
Price: £170

Magda Archer is a contemporary British artist renowned for her distinctive, witty, and often nostalgic aesthetic. She has cultivated a unique visual language that merges the kitsch sensibilities of mid-20th-century illustration with sharp, modern commentary. Archer’s work is characterized by bright colors, bold text, and a charmingly naïve painting style, frequently using dogs and other animals as central motifs to explore human emotions and social absurdities.
Her art commonly incorporates text slogans that range from the poignant and self-deprecating ("CRUMBS," "YOU'RE DEAD TO ME") to the comically mundane ("I HATE MY JOB"). This juxtaposition of sentimental imagery and deadpan or sardonic text creates a compelling tension that resonates strongly with a modern audience, often highlighting feelings of anxiety and disillusionment beneath a cheerful surface. The vintage quality of her style evokes the nostalgia of children's books or mass-produced ceramic figurines, adding layers of irony to the contemporary phrases she employs.
Archer’s impact extends beyond traditional art spaces; her commercial collaborations have brought her work into the mainstream. She has notably partnered with major fashion brands like Marc Jacobs and House of Holland, applying her signature style to clothing and accessories. This extensive body of work, blending fine art with accessible pop culture references, firmly establishes Magda Archer as a notable voice in contemporary art, using humor and nostalgia to capture the zeitgeist of modern life.

Sara Pope 'Rosso Corsa' Print Available

Artist: Sara Pope
Title: Rosso Corsa
Medium: 2 Layer Gloss on Giclee Print
Size: 100 x 80 cm
Edition: 20
Price: £850

 

UK artist Sara Pope, born in Stoke on Trent, has carved a distinctive niche in the contemporary art world with her iconic, highly seductive paintings of voluptuous lips. Drawing on a fascinating background that includes a degree in mathematics, a diploma in footwear design, and a successful career as a shoe designer for brands like Paul Smith and as a magazine art director, Pope's work is deeply informed by the aesthetics of fashion and media. Her paintings explore themes of beauty, desire, femininity, and the power of communication, using the slick, glossy visual language she encountered in the advertising world.
Pope's unique process begins with a photographic session involving models, makeup, and specific lighting to capture unique expressions, which then serve as the foundation for her artwork. She applies numerous thin layers of oil-diluted paint, sometimes even mixing in lipstick, and blends them meticulously to create a flawless, hyper real, and almost glass like finish that emulates the seamless perfection of digital imagery. This technique, which eradicates visible brush strokes, challenges viewers to reflect on idealised beauty and consumer culture. Her work has been exhibited globally in prestigious venues such as the Saatchi Gallery in London and SCOPE Miami. A notable moment in her career was when her original portrait of Pope Francis was accepted into the Vatican collection in 2014, making her the first British female artist in over 70 years to have a piece in their collection. Sara Pope continues to captivate international audiences with her bold vision and ability to unite commercial aesthetics with social commentary.

Sara Pope 'Wild Cherry' Print Available

Artist: Sara Pope
Title: Wild Cherry
Medium: Giclee Print
Size: 40 x 40 cm
Edition: 50
Prices: £350

  

Sara Pope is a contemporary British pop artist renowned for her distinctive, large-scale paintings of bold, glossy lips. Her art explores themes of beauty, communication, and desire, drawing heavily on her unconventional professional background in mathematics, graphic design, and a successful career as a shoe designer for high-end brands like Paul Smith and Lacoste.
Pope's signature style blends the technical precision from her design background with the visual language of fashion and advertising. Her process is meticulous, beginning with staged photoshoots where models' expressions are captured with specific makeup and lighting. The final paintings are built using several thin, diluted layers of oil paint, often mixed with actual lipstick, to achieve a hyperrealistic, high-shine finish that is instantly recognizable. This slick aesthetic challenges viewers to reflect on society's obsession with perfection and consumerism.
Her work has garnered international acclaim, featured in numerous exhibitions and art fairs, including the prestigious Saatchi Gallery in London and SCOPE Miami. A notable achievement includes a portrait of Pope Francis being accepted into the Vatican's permanent collection, making her the first British female artist in over seven decades to have her artwork displayed there. Pope has also collaborated with major brands like Christian Louboutin and Piaget, and her art is held in collections worldwide, including the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Hannah Lipsey 'Goldoodle' Print Available

Artist: Hannah Lipsey
Title: Goldoodle
Medium: Giclee Print
Size: 22 x 27 Inches
Edition: 10
Prices: £350

Hannah Lipsey is a contemporary British hyperrealism artist renowned for her intricate, light-filled drawings created using coloured pencils. Although she earned a Fine Art degree in painting abstract landscapes, Lipsey is entirely self-taught in her current hyperrealistic drawing practice. Her artistic journey shifted dramatically after drawing a portrait of her niece for a family birthday in 2017, which, after being posted online, led to a flood of commission requests and eventually a full-time career in art.
Lipsey is particularly fascinated by the challenge of creating the illusion of shine and texture in her work, transforming inanimate objects like reflective metal and glass into tangible, vibrant pieces that often make viewers question if they are looking at a drawing or a photograph. Her process involves taking hundreds of personal reference photos to capture the perfect interplay of light and shadow.
Now working full-time in Hertfordshire, UK, Lipsey has built a dedicated global collector base, with her original drawings and limited edition prints selling out rapidly. Her work has been featured in several exhibitions, including the Affordable Art Fair in London and New York.

My Dog Sighs 'I'm Glad We Stayed Here For A While' Prints Release Details

Artist: My Dog Sighs
Title: I'm Glad We Stayed Here For A While
Medium: 5 Different Editions
Size: Multiple Sizes
Edition: Various
Price: UNSURE

 

*available at 2pm EST on Monday November 17th, 2025

______________ 

My Dog Sighs is the pseudonym for the internationally acclaimed UK street artist Paul Stone, who has spent over two decades evolving from a local artist in Portsmouth to a prominent global figure in the urban contemporary art movement. His work is instantly recognizable for its unique blend of melancholic, photorealistic, and often naive portraiture, which often features reflections within a large, signature human eye motif.
Stone began his journey with the "Free Art Friday" movement, a project where he would leave pieces of his artwork in public spaces for strangers to find, creating a city-wide treasure hunt dynamic that built a grassroots following. This initial, democratic approach to art, shared freely in the urban environment, has remained a core part of his philosophy, influencing his later large-scale community-focused projects.
A significant element of My Dog Sighs' work involves using found materials, most notably discarded tin cans, which he transforms into his distinctive "Can Man" characters. These characters, along with his illustrative "Quiet Little Voices," often carry a sense of loss and subsequent rediscovery, reflecting his inspiration from feelings of being lost and then found.
Paul Stone has been commissioned to create large-scale murals across five continents. His art is known for engaging with its environment and community, often incorporating the reflections of local people or scenes into the pupils of the painted eyes, giving the artwork a sense of shared ownership and connection. A former art teacher, Stone also uses his platform for educational outreach, providing materials to schools and creating immersive installations to inspire young people.

Ricky Byrne 'Lost Without You' Prints Available

Artist: Ricky Byrne
Title: Lost Without You (Blue+Navy Blue)
Medium: Hand Embellished 2 Color Prints
Size: 30 x 30 cm Each
Edition: 10 Each
Price: £95 Each

 

*also available in red+fluoro and green+pale green colors

_____________

 

Ricky Byrne was born in Cape Town, South Africa, in 1983 and grew up between the Atlantic surf and the flat topped silhouette of Table Mountain. That coastal light and urban edge still feed the abstract cityscapes and seascapes he now paints from his studio in Woodstock, a district where Victorian warehouses rub shoulders with street art and weekend food markets. Byrne trained as a graphic designer at Cape Peninsula University of Technology, a discipline that taught him to reduce complex scenes to essential shapes and bold colour relationships, skills he now applies to fine art with oil, acrylic and aerosol on canvas, wood and reclaimed billboard paper.
His process begins with photographs taken during dawn walks along the promenade or twilight drives through the city bowl. Back in the studio he distils these images into interlocking planes of ultramarine, cadmium orange, titanium white and raw umber, allowing drips and spray mist to remain as evidence of speed and movement. Horizon lines tilt, shadows slide across facades and waves crest in simplified curves that suggest sound and spray without describing every ripple. The result is a body of work that feels simultaneously familiar and dreamlike, a memory of a place rather than a map of it.
Exhibitions at the Lovell Gallery in Cape Town, group shows in Johannesburg and art fairs along the Garden Route have met strong sales, while international collectors visiting the city often leave with rolled canvases tucked under their arms. Despite growing demand, Byrne continues to surf at sunrise, sketch on restaurant napkins and donate prints to local charity auctions, believing that creativity should remain as fluid as the tides that shape his hometown.

Nathan Bowen 'Basquiat + Warhol' Original Available

Artist: Nathan Bowen
Title: Basquiat + Warhol
Medium: Ink + Pen on Paper
Size: 42 x 60 cm
Edition: UNIQUE
Price: £300

 

Nathan Bowen is a British street artist whose raw, expressive style brings urgency and dark humour to city walls across London and beyond. Born in 1982 and raised in Deptford, he began drawing on whatever surfaces he could find, developing a compulsive need to mark public space that continues to drive his daily practice. Working primarily with black acrylic and chunky charcoal sticks, he creates frantic figures that seem to claw their way out of brickwork, their wide eyes and gaping mouths suggesting both protest and despair.
His process is immediate and instinctive. Carrying paint and brushes in a backpack, Bowen approaches walls with no preliminary sketches, allowing the texture, cracks and graffiti beneath to guide each stroke. This spontaneity results in images that feel alive, as if the characters might shuffle or scream at any moment. Recurring motifs include skeletal birds, distorted clowns and suited men with melting faces, all rendered with aggressive mark-making that leaves drips and splatters as evidence of speed and emotion.
Beyond murals, Bowen produces smaller works on found wood and cardboard, often incorporating torn adverts, rusted metal and shattered glass to amplify themes of urban decay and resilience. He also stages “live attacks,” painting rapidly while interacting with passers-by, turning the act of creation into a public performance that challenges perceptions of vandalism and art.
Despite brushes with authority, he remains committed to unauthorised work, believing the street offers the most honest dialogue with society. Through every frantic figure and smeared grin, Nathan Bowen invites viewers to confront the chaos of modern life and to find catharsis in the act of rebellion.
