Peter van Toth – Metaphysical Oil
Neighborhood: Downtown
Peter introduces his artistic approach with these words: « My focus is on the discovery and recreation of the processes and biases of the human mind and consciousness. How do we create reality? How can I see what I don’t see yet in front of me? These are the leading questions that I run diagnostics on through my art and research. »
As Edward Hopper once said: « If you could say it in words, there would be no reason to paint. »
Absorbing all the energies in the garden – 920 GBP
De-intensified Velázquez – 820 GBP
« […] and at this moment i realised i paint Velázquez’ Rokeby Venus. » P. van Toth
Malvika Bose – Contemporary Still life
Neighborhood: Berkshire
Malvika is a self-taught artist who grew up in India, amidst chaos and diversity, yet close to Mother Nature. Her early life experiences led her to develop a fascination for art, crafts, and culture. Her creations lean toward realism, as is demonstrated in this contemporary Still Life canvas, which brings a distinctly new perspective to a millennials-old genre.
Citrus – 250 GBP
Lucy Oates – Met-Art-Morphosis
Neighborhood: Ealing
Lucy is a talented emerging artist from Ealing. She stands apart due to the originality of her artistic approach: « The very act of using waste material within art is a comment on the current state of the environment, although I do not project this to be the dominating message. Instead, I aim to celebrate the waste materials characteristics, rescuing them from the bin and ‘dressing them up’ to have new functions and appearances. »
When waste turns into stunning art.
Ironing and coriander – 350 GBP
Booming – 250 GBP
Jan Lee Johnson – A Nod to History
Neighborhood: Richmond upon Thames
Jan Lee Johnson is an established artist exhibiting in London as well as other international venues. She often uses humor in her works, playing with references to history and including elements of her autobiography.
Madame Pompadour ( Metoo ) – 600 GBP
« Inspired by the history of Madame de Pompadour, the favourite mistress of Louis XV, who was a patron of the arts, well read, and used only for her physical charms. » J.L Johnson
Milton Grubert – Ode to Impressionism
Neighborhood: Hammersmith and Fulham
Milton is a self-taught artist who started on his path as a sketch artist. Eventually, he moved onto painting; experimenting with different materials and techniques, making mistakes, but more importantly, defining his own style.
Gypsy Jazz – 2,850 GBP
Gipsy Jazz echoes one of the greatest eras of the history of art: Impressionism. The canvas is reminiscent of pieces by artists such as Toulouse Lautrec or Renoir and their legendary life scenes paintings.
Alison O’Farrell – The Power of Shapes
Neighborhood: Tower Hamlets
Alison is an abstract artist living in Tower Hamlets. Several great movements in the history of art influence her creative approach. Her use of shapes and space can be directly correlated to Cubism and Russian Constructivism. Matisse and the Fauves lead her to the brightness and strength of colors.
The end result is the birth of a unique style, which makes her artwork a safe bet for every Abstract art lover.
Candy Darling – 250 GBP
Deconstruction – 175 GBP
Gordon Render – Contemporary Pop-Art
Neighborhood: Wandsworth
Gordon graduated in Fine Arts from the University of Cape Town, majoring in painting and photography.
In his art, the painter answers to the photographer, creating a contemporary Pop Art universe depicting our culture and society from every angle. Humor also plays a role and brings another dimension to his artwork. A fantastic ArtWe discovery.
Hoax ! – 500 GBP
« Another iconic photograph. I stuck it in a film studio…I can’t wait for this to be used as evidence that nobody went to the moon… Apparently the hoaxers will believe anything. » G. Render
