What we do.

​​

We believe outstanding art does more than occupy a space; it elevates it, transforms it, and leaves a lasting impression. Our collection is thoughtfully curated to offer a refined selection of striking, original and affordable works! Each is chosen not only for its visual beauty but for its depth, presence, and emotional resonance. Every piece is seamlessly accessible through our online gallery, making the experience of acquiring remarkable art both effortless and inspiring. Our collection brings together an accomplished balance of emerging talent and internationally recognised artists, each contributing a distinctive voice shaped by their culture, vision, and creative mastery. Every artwork we present is entirely unique! An original, one-off, hand-crafted piece that embodies the authenticity, intention, and the artist's individuality.

​

Canvas is our primary medium, though you will also discover standout works on board, vinyl and fine art paper. What you will not find here are prints, reproductions, or mass-produced pieces. We are committed to offering authentic, original artwork that has been individually created and not duplicated. Each creation is singular, irreplaceable, and infused with the artist’s personal expression.

​

Rather than overwhelming you with endless choice, we intentionally curate a more focused collection, designed to inspire, not confuse. Each piece is carefully positioned within the core styles we are passionate about: Abstract, Modern, and Urban Art genres, which capture the spirit, edge, and emotion of contemporary creativity.

​Why we do it.

​

It all started years ago when I set out to find a standout piece of original art for my then London flat. I expected it to be simple! A world of unique, contemporary work at my fingertips. It was not. After countless hours searching galleries and stockists, the reality was disappointing. Endless websites packed with art made it exhausting to find anything that truly stood out. And when something did catch my eye, it was often priced far beyond reach, making great art feel inaccessible. Smaller galleries offered more curated collections, but too often the work felt safe, mainstream, and lacking originality. Nothing felt special, nothing felt mine. And prints? They were never an option for me. Whether limited edition or mass-produced, they never carried that sense of exclusivity. Even with a run of “limited” pieces, you are still sharing the same artwork with dozens, sometimes hundreds of others. It just did not feel personal, it did not feel exciting! I wanted something different, something original, something unique, something I truly connected with, and something no one else had!

​​​Who we are.

​

Arts With Attitude was founded by Steve Hughes, a passionate advocate for contemporary art and emerging creative talent. With a long-standing interest in underground art and culture, shaped in part by his early years as a DJ, Steve developed a deep appreciation for originality and artistic expression. Over time, his personal interest evolved into a dedicated pursuit, building a collection of contemporary works that reflected both individuality and impact. Alongside this, Steve spent the majority of his career in the technology sector, working for some of the industry’s most recognised names. Driven by a desire to create something more personal and meaningful, he made the decision to step away from the corporate world and establish Arts With Attitude, a venture rooted in genuine passion, creativity, and a commitment to discovering truly original artists and artwork.
