Platinum Jubilee - Edition Release

By Scott Tetlow

Scott Tetlow has beautifully portrayed Her Majesty The Queen in his unique vision, as we celebrate the Platinum Jubilee this summer.

Scott is renowned for his interpretations of iconic females of the 20th & 21st century, and this extra special subject is given the fanfare it deserves with two visions of Her Majesty, denoting the most significant moments in her reign: The ascension and the historic milestone of 2022.

Quintessentially Tetlow in their modernity and inception, there is an unreserved elegance to his stylist interpretations, which are imbued with spirit, strength, and resolve. These images beautifully encapsulate, and commemorate, the leadership of the first British monarch to celebrate 70 years of service.

Scott lived in Taiwan for a time and his studies of calligraphy have greatly influenced his work. Through his love of calligraphy, Scott has developed a form of painting that is linear and yet absent of the constraints of calligraphy. Instead, it is characterised by a sense of freedom of movement, which is balanced and contained in considered composition. This movement adds to the illusion of life and spirit. There is a confidence of line, a strength in the flow of creation that adds to the energy of the artwork. Quite clearly there is an abstraction to the work, but there is a realism too that gives his female forms character, personality and a beauty that is unsurpassed.

Infinite Seas

By Paul Bennett

Whilst Paul Bennett graduated with an honours degree in fine art, painting took a back seat for a while, as he fell into a career in graphic design and worked mainly in the finance sector in the City of London.

After working in the illustrious financial district for some years, Paul returned to his home county of Buckinghamshire and rediscovered his love of painting. He embarked on a period of experimentation, endeavouring to capture the sense and true essence of a place. Paul became transfixed with conveying the drama and intensity of seascapes and landscapes, with light and shadow becoming crucial elements in the development of his visionary abstract paintings.

Paul’s work is dramatic, atmospheric, and totally captivating. The lines of reality and illusion are blurred and ambiguous, and there is an uncertainty as to where the sky ends, and the sea or landscape begins. Paul strives to generate a sense of intimacy and isolation, whilst leaving the subject open to interpretation. The seascape and landscapes paintings are created from memory, rather than referring to photography, resulting in more abstracted and expressive pieces rather than realistic representation. Paul’s main aim is to create work that is most definitely painted and accomplishes this through rich textures, multiple layers and mark-making. Whilst there is passion and intensity to the work, it has a therapeutic overtone, and the ethereal quality of the compositions offer a sense of serenity and calmness the viewer.

Debut Studio Edition Collection

By John Horsewell

John Horsewell was destined to be an artist with both his parents and grandfather having careers in the arts. From an early age, he experimented with all forms of media and discovered that oil paint suited the style he enjoyed well, as it allowed him to convey light and shadow in a delicate, simplistic way.

Initially, his artistic career began in interior design and painting was something of a weekend pastime, but as he began to exhibit his work all over the UK, his reputation grew and his name became firmly established in the art world.

It was in the 1970s that John became a full-time painter, and he has enjoyed a distinguished career over the last 50 years, recreating scenes on canvas that he has appreciated on his travels. His style and choice of subject matter have become synonymous with his name, and his imagery continues to oscillate between beautiful vistas of Southern Europe and the tranquil shores of Florida, where he spends much of his time.

Working today from his studio in Essex, John’s paintings are executed using both brushes and palette knives, which offers the reward of a distinctive texture. The flair with which he paints communicates the pleasure of the location he has experienced, inviting the viewer to come into his world and enjoy it with him.

New Editions

By Shaun Othen

Shaun was introduced to a wide range of classical artists from an early age and was most notably drawn to the 19th century works of Laurence Alma-Tadema and Alphonse Mucha. In the work of these artists, Shaun discovered a strong connection to their opulent depictions of the female form and the elegant style in which they presented their muses. This aesthetic has grown with him and quite clearly continues to influence his work to the present day.

It was at the renowned Falmouth School of Art that Shaun discovered his passion for figurative work, but it is in more recent years that he has consciously broken away from the rigid structure of a more photographic style that he once employed and developed a more expressive approach. Some have termed his approach as ’Deconstructive Realism,’ in which he pushes the boundaries of fragmentation, line, and solid colour, in exploration of the limits between representation and abstraction.

In much of his work, we observe a variety of deconstructed areas in complete contrast to smooth zones, and in doing so Shaun creates a sense a rhythm and harmony throughout the composition, thus keeping the viewer engaged. Shaun concentrates primarily on the human form devoid of the complex surrounding environment. This enables him to use the background as an abstract area in which the figure can be ‘deconstructed,’ thus distancing the boundaries of true representation.

Not wishing to be confined by the traditional language of paint, Shaun sometimes substitute’s brushes for various tools to articulate his vision. His oil paintings begin life with a gesso foundation on which Shaun sketches the female form in charcoal. He then builds on these foundational strokes and creates an acrylic understudy. Much of this preliminary painting is hidden once he begins to use oils, but there are still traces to be seen if you look closely. Shaun’s technique, in collaboration with his unique fusion of realism and abstraction, ensured that his artwork is both unique and exceptionally beautiful and guaranteed to bring an elegance to any setting.

Debut Studio Edition Collection

By Chuck

The new collection by Chuck encapsulates the ‘hedonism’ of an imagined world, as we explore the relationship between the human form and the natural world.

The beauty of the female form is represented as a goddess, adorned with floral elements that form a tapestry of symbolism. The strength of woman is amplified, as she poses with her natural headdress, and we observe the harmony between nature and beauty. The language of flowers, purity, hope, enlightenment, self-regeneration, and rebirth is beautifully articulated within each piece, offering a unique voice and identity.

Chuck’s styling is clearly influenced by his fascination with the art of the Baroque and Renaissance eras, and as he fuses the classical with the contemporary a surreal portraiture is created. His love of fashion and design radiates from the canvas, and the juxtaposition between antiquity and modernity is intensified through the use of his colour palette and metallic gold leaf embellishment.

The Hedonism collection is a range of four exclusive editions limited to just 45 copies. Each numbered edition is signed by the artist and beautifully hand embellished to creature a sumptuous texture. These faithful representations combine the skill of the UK’s finest printmakers with the creative hand of the artist, to capture the very essence of the original painting and offer a unique element to every single collectable edition.

Entwined Love

By Andrei Protsouk

We are delighted to introduce the stunning collection of Studio Editions by Andrei Protsouk, Entwined Love.

Much of Andrei’s artwork centres around the universal theme of love, frequently depicting couples in the midst of passionate dances or embraces. His elaborate pieces burst with vibrant colours, intricate shapes, and varied textures. Andrei has embedded his use of line into all his artwork and has coined this technique as “Fine Line”. His straight, constructive use of line embodies his classical fine art training in every way. In the academy, Andrei was revered as a ‘Master of Composition’; where most artists are limited to only a few elements of composition in their work, Protsouk incorporates all the elements of composition into his. This captivates his audience’s eyes, which are drawn to move around his canvas, so that every time anyone looks at his art the unique composition ensures that the painting is never seen in the same way twice. Andrei’s use of constructive line demonstrates his innate creative ability, and understanding of the human form, drawing comparisons to the figurative works of Michelangelo.

Andrei’s experimentation in art, and the evolution of his subject matter, has ensured phenomenal commercial success, plus great admiration from his contemporaries. He has many accolades to his name, including of commissions for Johnnie Walker and Coca Cola, and his work hangs in private collections of notable figures, including former US president George Bush.

Andrei Protsouk was born in the Ukraine and attended the prestigious Lugansk School of Fine Art, and the Ilya Repin Leningrad Institute, which is widely regarded as one of the world’s finest art training programmes. It was here that Protsouk studied under Evsey Moiseenko, who is a world renowned contemporary of Marc Chagall and Pablo Picasso.

City Highlights

By Colin Brown

We are thrilled to unveil Colin’s debut collection of Studio Editions, portraying the dynamic street scenes of city life.

Featuring some of the most revered cities in the world, London, New York, Paris and Venice, Colin’s sophisticated new editions celebrates these international symbols of style and sophistication with his innovative and unique styling.

Heavily influenced by Impressionism, there is vibrancy and energy to Colin’s artwork. His innovative approach to painting encapsulates the looseness of the brushstroke, with the definition of colour and form. Colin likes to make every stroke count and to be seen, as this can give a great sense of movement. There is a sense of layering to the work, with a tapestry of shade and colour that bring the luminous scenes of the city to life.

Atmospheric lighting ensures that positivity radiates from the canvas and each city becomes alive with the freshness of tone and colour. “My work is mostly influenced from the Impressionists, although I like all forms of painting. I love to paint in a way that is free and loose, not being constrained by detail. I want to convey a sense of atmosphere and as if the painting was a fleeting moment in time. I concentrate on the light as being the most important thing within the painting and only adding the detail to knit the scene together, when needed”.

Golden Gaze

by Martin Robson

We are thrilled to unveil two new editions from innovative wildlife artist Martin Robson.

Renowned for his stunning photo-realism, Martin often isolates his subject against a striking single colour backdrop, but in these new compositions, he has chosen to present his subject by consuming the entirety of the canvas. The surroundings of his majestic lion and tiger can only be imagined and glimpsed in the reflection of their patriarchal eyes. The intensity of the gaze is all consuming and engages the viewer with an almost hypnotic effect.

Martin’s priority is to capture the unique spirit and intimacy of his subject and consequently, he always paints eyes first in a new composition. He feels that the eyes are the soul of the animal and capturing subtle lighting and colours in the reflections brings the subject to life. The almost cinematic effect of the work is created with acrylics on canvas and Martin’s ambition is to create beautiful quality work with a high level of realism. He works from carefully chosen photographs, that will show off the subject in a bold and interesting way. He is particularly interested in searching out strong lighting and interesting shadows, that adds a level of dynamism to the final piece.

“There is nothing like the satisfaction of creating an original piece of art and putting paint to canvas. The absolute joy of making a mark with a paintbrush and bringing it to life is without parallel.”

Infamous

By Sannib

We are delighted to present a stunning new collection of hand embellished Studio Editions by emerging artist Sannib.

Sannib’s show-stopping artworks celebrate a distinguished repertoire of 20th and 21st century iconic figures. The creativity in which he represents familiar faces is both innovative and charming; the classical portrait is abstracted, and an Illusion of layers gives stunning depth to his work.

Sannib is a graduate in graphic design and his background is clearing evident in his creative process. The artwork is sophisticated, and the compositions are both intricate and intriguing. Sannib has developed a unique mixed media style blending graphic elements, painting techniques and textures. He uses several materials and mediums, combined with highly distinctive colourways and avant-garde finishes.

Sannib has a great passion for colourful communication and finds inspiration in both vibrancy and infused lighting. He believes that his colour palette derives from nature’s own colour spectrum, with a focus on” the golden shades of the earth and the inspirational blue shades of the sea and sky”.

We are thrilled to welcome Sannib to the portfolio and believe he is an artist every art collector should take note of in 2022.

Pulp Paper Addiction

By Linda Charles

We are delighted to unveil the new collection from Linda Charles Pulp Paper Addiction, a collection of eight editions that fuses together the nostalgia of vintage book covers with a back catalogue of iconic song titles and lyrics. The previous sold-out ‘Pulp Re-imagined’ collections have highlighted Linda’s dexterity with a paintbrush and have afforded her high praise amongst her contemporaries. She combines her love of the imagery of the pulp paperback books of the 40s, 50s, and 60s with a back catalogue of music hits by a range of cult status artists.

She gives new life to relics of the past and fuses them with contemporary pop culture. The familiarity elicits an emotional response whilst triggering nostalgic memories. Music has always been an important part of Linda’s creativity and she always paints to music in her studio. She had the idea of combining elements of classic songs and artists with the look and feel of old paperback books when she came across a box of vintage books in the attic.

“The first one I came across featured a stunning woman running from a pair of headlights following her in a remote area. Immediately ‘Born to Run’ by Bruce Springsteen played in my head and the concept was born!” Linda has spent her career developing new ideas, and she continues to break new ground as she strives to produce work that connects on both cerebral and visual levels, producing the same positive feelings in the viewer as it does with her when she paints it.

Treasured Memories

By Leigh Lambert

Taking inspiration from his own childhood in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, Leigh’s artwork has a strong sense of nostalgia, evoking fond memories of a youth that so many of us can relate to. As a child, he loved nothing more than spending time with his grandparents, who lived in traditional terraced housing in the northeast.

A visit to the corner shop or an afternoon treat from the ice cream van was a highlight, and he has many wonderful memories of those special “simple” days from his childhood that he incorporates into the narrative of his work. Leigh’s technique is painstakingly accurate. He prefers the surface on which he paints to be solid and smooth, and consequently he primed his board six times to achieve the desired finish.

Consequently, the surface of his oil paintings is exceptionally refined. Leigh’s colour palette reflects the dark northern tones that have become synonymous with the coal mine towns of the north-east. He works in layers, beginning with the sky, painting from the background to the foreground. His use of colour is minimal, optimistically applying splashes of colour only to the figures that play amidst the otherwise monochromatic landscapes. This vibrancy of colour captures the joy and vitality of youth and often denotes symbolism in the work. Leigh first began winning awards for his work in 2014 and has enjoyed a very successful career to date, with countless limited editions collections sold out within weeks of release.

His original paintings are highly sought-after and due to the technique, that he employs, they are quite a rarity. For Leigh, he hopes that his work has an impact on the viewer and enriches their lives by stirring up positive, nostalgic feelings and memories.

000167 Hue Folk Launch Digital Brochure 1080x1080

Chip and Pin

By Hue Folk

We are delighted to present an exciting new Studio Edition collection by Hue Folk.

Heavily influenced by the Pop Art movement of the 1960s, Hue Folk fuses street art and pop art to create a style that is uniquely rooted in a previous era. Reinventing borrowed elements and giving them a fresh new contemporary edge, ensures that his work is both relevant and a visual comment on the diversity of contemporary society.

In this collection, Hue Folk draws our attention to one of the most significant financial cultural transitions of the 20th century, the steady move towards a cashless society with the mainstream use of credit cards. His artwork denotes the phenomenon of credit card envy, from the design of the plastic to the sound that it makes on the counter! Financial marketers got creative in the 1980s with their debit and credit cards to satisfy the desire of mass-market consumers to use a cool-looking card, and with it the bonus of greater usage. In this collection, Hue Folk utilises a range of well-known cartoon characters and emblems to create his very own range of iconic credit cards!

Hue Folk brings the conventional idea of a well-known article and has interpreted it in his own unique vision. Taking an everyday item, he has given it new life with his highly creative, quirky, and bold designs. There is a great sense of fun to the work and the overwhelming saturation of colour brings life and energy to any setting.

Michiel Folkers

New Studio Edition Collection

Following on from his debut Studio Editions collection in 2021, we are delighted to present new editions by Michiel Folkers.

Continuing a common theme of 20th-century icons in his work, Michiel presents blonde bombshells Brigitte Bardot and Marilyn Monroe interpreted in his quintessential street art styling. This collection also sees the introduction of cartoon characters to his Studio Editions range, with much loved icons Scrooge Duck and Mickey Mouse.

Michiel started exploring street art in the nineties, utilising collage, and spray paint which he felt made his work more innovative and avant-garde. His artistic journey with graffiti art also began at this time, with stencils becoming an intrinsic element in his work, along with screen-printing. Michiel endeavours to make a whole new image with lots of different elements. “I am always trying to force the viewer to see one image instead of seeing all the loose parts.”

Heavily influenced by festival posters pasted on the walls of the streets in his homeland of Holland, Michiel became fascinated by the aesthetics of these “promotional posters” and the idea of layering graffiti upon them. Describing them as ‘collage-walls,’ the work is often made up of posters that Michiel has collected from the streets of Amsterdam, referring to them “sustainable art” which gives an “edgy and living character to the painting.”

The innovative texture that Michiel achieves in his original artwork is beautifully recreated in his new limited-edition collection. Each signed edition is hand finished offering an element of originality and limited to a worldwide edition of just 50 copies.

000165 Tetlow Chimps Launch Digital Brochure 1080x1080

Chimp Life

By Scott Tetlow

The stunning new collection by Scott Tetlow features his iconic chimp family in all their guises and with their individual personalities! Scott’s journey in drawing chimps began many years ago. The chimp came into being when he was creating a body of work called ‘Emerging Figures’. In one piece he couldn’t see any human figures emerging, only a chimp, and eventually, he gave in and painted the chimp that he could see! From that point, it has become a fixture in the Tetlow portfolio!

Scott started to develop his own personal drawing style and through experimentation he wanted to find a style that would breathe life into his work, giving it movement and energy. He drew a variety of subjects, women, men, horses, architecture, etc, but quite often, whenever he wanted to say something, it would be through a chimp.

Each chimp has its own personality and whilst there is a message in each work, ultimately, they mean whatever the viewer interprets them to mean. There are a multitude of characters in his repertoire, some chimps are satirical, taking themselves or ‘objects’ too seriously, some are nostalgic and remind us of previous times, whilst others are just fun, and cheer us up with a saying that means something to us!

Scott hopes that his chimps “create a reaction, whether it’s a laugh or a “that’s a bit of me in that one.”

Reflection

By Tony Hinchliffe

We are delighted to present Reflection, a commanding new collection of Studio Editions by modern day figurative virtuoso Tony Hinchliffe. These powerful figurative masterpieces honour the beauty of the female form and celebrates femininity in the 21st century. Tony’s command of light and shadow is beautifully exemplified in these works as he creates an atmosphere of romance, passion and mystery with his delicate brushstrokes.

As a witness to an intimate moment, the viewer is encouraged to contemplate the captured scene of the solitary female for themselves. There is an intensity, as the anticipation pulsates in the air, and we await the narrative to unfold before us.

“I try to capture the passion of the scene and the intensity of the moment…it really all about the capturing of emotion onto canvas…I feel it through the paintbrush and I want to give the experience to others”.

Each edition in the range is hand signed by the artist, with an exclusive edition of only 45. Beautifully hand embellished, this collection offers an original quality to every single edition and is ideal for the discerning art collector.

Legacy II

By Paul Wright

Following on from his sold-out collection Iconic, and the launch of his recent collection Legacy, we are delighted to present Legacy II by Paul Wright. Featuring two new hand-embellished Studio Editions, Paul has chosen two icons from the British musical hall of fame whom, in their own distinctive way, have had a considerable influence on today’s popular culture: Amy Winehouse and David Bowie. Paul endeavours to capture the true essence of each subject, bringing it to life through his collaboration of paint and canvas.

The brushstroke is prevailing in Paul’s compositions. It is dynamic and powerful, and every stroke is significant, commanding the space on the canvas of which it occupies. There is no blurring or softening of stroke, there is only a mesh of distinctive and contrasting monochromatic tones. This intensity is delicately balanced, so as not to overshadow the subject that he seeks to portray. There is a freshness to both subjects and they are imbued with energy, with a force of life that honours the characters that they became in front of the lens and before our very eyes at the height of their fame.

Paul is now a hugely successful British artist with a unique style that has earned him a place at the BP National Portrait Award on no less than two occasions. Paul received further awards from The National Gallery for the annual BP Award and he made the shortlist for grand prize in 2014.

Each edition is hand signed by the artist, with an exclusive edition of only 75. The collection is luxurious and ideal for the discerning art collector, and with a beautifully hand embellished finish, these editions offer sumptuous texture and a uniqueness to every single edition.

New Studio Editions

By Jessie Foakes

Following the success of her sold-out debut collection of Studio Editions, we are delighted to present Loving Life, featuring a trio of icons with the feel-good factor!

Jessie has a wonderful naive approach to painting. Her relationship with paint is a spontaneous one, and there is a sense of freedom and movement in the texture of her chosen subject. The sculptural quality to her work is rich and luxurious, and this is juxtaposed with the simplicity of the subject. Here lies the essence of Jessie’s style and the joy of her work; she has chosen three well-known luxury brands that have become everyday icons in popular culture and has approached them with a fresh new vision. The interpretation is both stylistically unique and endearing. Bold, unstructured, and energised, Jessie’s work has a magical quality that offers the viewer an overwhelming sense of positivity and fun!

Born and raised in Essex, Jessie has established herself as a prominent tattoo artist in her hometown, and whilst she has spent many years dabbling on and off with the paintbrush, it was only recently that she made the monumental transition of taking her painterly visions from skin to canvas.

Jessie’s passion for painting is obvious and she is loving experimenting with new brands, characters, colors, and themes. From a collector’s point of view, emotionally investing in an artist with this kind of approach to painting presents a truly exciting future - never knowing where the paintbrush, the subject matter, and the character interpretations will lead.

“I’m used to working in a kind of here and there style, and I guess that’s how I paint! I love working with something super obvious and changing it into how I see it... a change here and there... see how we go.”

Kimberley has been regarded as one of the most successful living artists in her chosen genre for some years and her Studio Edition Collection have cemented this position, with sold-out editions of her beautifully textured, hand embellished range.

The new collection Moments of Reflection features dreamy fields of wildflowers in which to lose yourself in the comfort of your own home. Kimberley work embodies a wonderful sense of emotion and atmosphere. The smooth skies juxtapose with the rich heavy impasto technique which is employed in the creation of the floral foreground. The palette knife application of paint adds drama to each composition, which is further reinforced by Kimberley’s courageous use of colour. There is an incredible sense of depth to her work and the composition encourages the viewer to drift effortlessly through the floral notes, as we head towards to distant skies of tranquillity in the background.

Each edition is beautifully hand embellished, combining the skill of the UK’s finest printmakers with the creative hand of the artist, to capture the very essence of the original painting and offer a unique element to every single collectable edition.

Nigel Cooke Latest Studio Edition Collection Page 01

New Studio Edition Collection

By Nigel Cooke.

Following the overwhelming success of the debut collection of Studio Editions by Nigel Cooke, we are delighted to announce the release of a new series of limited editions that features new colourways and introduces a new landscape profile to his range.

The intense colours and dramatic textural juxtapositions displayed in the work of Nigel Cooke have established him as the quintessential artist of the cityscape genre. Nigel travelled extensively around the world as a caricature artist, and these travels inspired him to begin painting, elevating his illustrative style into fine art and creating his unique vision of the urban landscape onto the canvas.

Nigel’s unmistakable style has clearly been influenced by Abstract Expressionist Jackson Pollock and his distinctive drip paint technique. At first glance, it may look like a simplistic approach, but in fact, it is a remarkably complex form of paint application that requires a great deal of practice and control. The legacy of Pollock has been translated into visionary contemporary cityscapes at the hands of Nigel Cooke, as he creates beautifully textured scenes that have intricate, layered details. This layering is an important aspect of Nigel’s work: the layers create a surface patternation that is independent of its subject matter, and this allows the eye to travel freely across the canvas which offers both a remarkable sense of depth and a certain serenity to the work.

The fluidity of the paint juxtaposed with the rigidity of the buildings fuse together to create cityscapes that are vibrant, striking, and dynamic. The mood and ambience of the city are captured beautifully; the energy of city life radiates from the canvas, and the accuracy of the iconic architecture is secondary to the vibe of the hustle and bustle of the iconic cities that Nigel portrays.
