What we do.

​

We source and offer eye-catching unique, original and affordable artwork and make it available for easy purchase via our website. We specifically select artwork from exciting, promising and already well-established artists from across the globe. All of our art for sale are unique, 1 of a kind pieces, each hand-crafted by incredibly creative people. Most of our art on sale is expressed and delivered on canvas and occasionally on other surfaces like board or paper. We do not offer any prints or mass-produced copies of any artwork and nothing that has not been uniquely composed and expressed into its form by the artist.

​
We do not stock hundreds or thousands of different artworks from a vast list of artists, taking hours to search through to find something you want. We deliberately stock a smaller and more focused array of exciting and affordable artwork, each positioned into easily explored categories and covering the core styles of modern contemporary art that we love and promote - Abstract Art, Modern Art, Urban and Graffiti Art.

​

Why we do it.

​

The story started years ago when wanting to buy some outstanding original and unique artwork to hang on the wall of my then London flat. I thought it should be straightforward, and there would be an extensive selection of stand-out original contemporary artwork to buy. After searching long and hard online for galleries and stockists, I was hugely disappointed with the types and selection of artwork you could buy. You either had to trawl large websites listing many artists and so much art that it became tedious trying to find some outstanding artwork. And if you found some art you liked, it was often listed at a highly inflated price, making it inaccessible to the general public. Alternatively, if you searched hard enough, you could find some smaller outlets with concise artwork selections. However, these were often very mainstream and common styles you could find in many places. 
​
I also did not want to buy any prints, whether prints' of popular or famous artworks (often with limited numbers), or sprayed prints on canvas. I always felt that you do not own anything special as it's not an original piece of created artwork. Even with a limited number print, you effectively share the same art often with tens or hundreds of others. It did not feel very exciting or exclusive, and you ultimately know when someone buys a print, it is because they dreamed of owning and showing off the original artwork.
