ART FOR ANY BUDGET
This holiday season give the gift of art, with our extensive collection from a wide portfolio of artists. We have created some curated collections to inspire anyone, whatever your budget.
OUR TOP PICKS
Kerry Darlington
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.
David Renshaw
Take your loved one on a voyage around the world with Doris and Ted, the painted companions from the imagination of renowned artist David Renshaw. Though originally inspired by vintage photographs of the North of England, these romantic travellers have journeyed beyond their home visiting New York to the Northern Lights in each other’s company. All featuring the symbolic motif of a luscious red heart, your loved one will have no mistake in how much you care if presented with one of Renshaw’s heartfelt works.
Select from the rich original works on board crafted from oil paints, to the delicate format of a rare pencil sketch. Boutique editions are highly coveted, and with whispers that a new release is on the horizon exclusively at Wyecliffe, romance is in the air this Christmas.
Lhouette
Lhouette art has been showcased by The Wyecliffe Galleries, as his official dealers, for many years. Having hosted sell-out exhibitions and countless sell out collections to an ever-growing national and international collector base to whom his intensely coloured, material based urban artwork captures a fresh zeitgeist.
Elements of Lhouette’s early techniques can still be glimpsed within his more polished artworks of today through the use of raw materials such as forklift pallets and other industrial throw-offs. This striking binary between the old and new and the raw and the refined, is the major juxtaposition inherent to Lhouette’s work.
Rozanne Bell
With a zingy pep for life, the charisma of Rozanne Bell radiates through her bright mixed media paintings. Born in Zimbabwe and having moved to the UK over 15 years ago, the artists talent lies in bringing the clear light of Africa to British flora and fauna. Recently introducing luxe metallics and shimmering sparkle to her coastal and floral scenes, her original paintings are a true celebration of the seasons of this country.
The ultimate selection to put an ear to ear smile across the face of your special someone on Christmas morning, highlights for the winter season include Bell’s remarkable silver birches with dancing leaves in cool purple and blue hues, starting at £350.
Gary Mcnamara
An open-minded painter when it comes to his creative process, Gary McNamara experiments with different mediums and techniques to create unique portraits – Gary loves the freedom to express each unique subject and each distinct feature. The middle east acts as a driving influence for his works as the culture excites him for its flamboyancy. To start with, Gary plays around and earmarks the outcome of his paint, using a variety of different techniques where he would then start to create form, using different layers.
An enigmatic fusion of Far Eastern influences elevated with bold primary colours; Gary McNamara looks set to make his mark on contemporary fine art portraiture.
Becky Smith

Exploring themes of natural phenomena that command reactions of wonder, gift your loved one a window into the universe travel across earth with a series of pieces that highlight the beauty of the natural world.

Simon Wright
