Christmas gifting guide - Wyecliffe's top picks

There are few artists that transcend both generation and culture, though Kerry Darlington has amassed a devoted international collector-base for her extraordinary nature and folklore inspired works. With a magpie-like approach to literary tales, the most recognisable stories are deftly entwined into the artists own fantasy world in which faeries and magic are real.

With compositions ranging from stunningly beautiful portraiture in the form of Swan Lake inspired recent boutique edition 'Young Odette' or pieces to make the heart melt such as the woodland tea party of 'Elixir of Love' – there are works for your nieces and nephews or your grandparents in our flagship portfolio.

Referencing the evocative use of light in iconic works crafted by JMW Turner and paying homage to the dreamy mist Claude Monet shrouded London within the original oil paintings of Andrew Grant Curtis are the perfect choice for the true art connoisseur. Perfectly fusing classic elegance with the modern skyline of our capital city, these nuanced compositions are the ultimate timeless selection.

An incredible painter adept at playing with scale, compact compositions start at just £350 proving that modern masterpieces don’t have to cost the earth. For a standout choice, works such a 'Sunshine Sparkle, Morning Haze' will be enjoyed by your loved one for years to come.

Add a little summertime to your Christmas Day with the extraordinary beach scenes of Italian born, Spanish based artist Paola Cassias. Instantly recognisable for her tiny figures scattered across the shore, her paint work is an illusion to the eye. Smooth sands and crashing waves are the perfect setting for her thickly daubed people in three-dimensional rainbow colours. Joyously flying kites and playing volleyball, her works focus on the importance of cherishing quality time.

Most recently Cassias’s cast of characters have been scattered into heart formations – whether you pick the symbol of love or a day by the seaside, your family will know how much you care when gifted one of these spectacular originals.

Typically known for huge scale multi-panel abstract works, internationally acclaimed artist Chris DeRubeis has transformed his original works to include a series of striking compositions perfect for a festive happy hour. Featuring glasses of fine wine, lethal cocktails and double measures of the very best scotch, each beverage features an almost holographic like quality. DeRubeis has fine tuned his technique, skilled in producing these dazzling effects by working into the metal with pigments and chemicals, positioning him as artist come alchemist.

Pick your loved one’s favourite tipple, and perhaps treat yourself to yours this Christmas and create a matching pair that unites your art collections. Starting from just £695 for each title.
