Affordable Art Online… Monday 21st January 2008 by Georgie Coleridge Cole
The art world has a reputation for being snobby and for those of us who don’t know our Monet’s from Manet’s, a habit of making one feel uncultured and out of one’s depth. But the truth is, you don’t need to be ex-Christies to appreciate creativity hanging from your walls, nor need it be worth more five figures to be enjoyable.
Affordable off-the-shelf art has never been so good and the internet has made buying eye catching art even easier. Here are the some of the web's best for affordable art online...
If cosy country house style is your cup of tea then a visit to The Little Picture Gallery is sure to delight. You’ll find work from over twenty different artists ranging from Annabel Fairfax’ cockerels that are full of character to the safari scapes of Kate Cadbury.
For something more contemporary give online art gallery Artylicious a try. If you’re looking to match your art with your colour scheme then rest assured you’ll be in complete control; choose the style (abstract, photographic and pop art all feature), colour and size of your prints – and for a look that’s ultra modern and a space that needs some filling, why not split your chosen images to spread over 2, 3 or even 4 canvases.
Fancy something rather more risqué? Obsession Art are specialists in nude, erotic, and figurative fine art prints that make the perfect picture hung in your bedroom. Lee Jones’ portrayal of the female form in particular, is thoroughly intriguing.
Photography hung on walls is both simple and striking. If you’re nifty behind the lens then enlarge your own scenes and frame them in simple mahogany frames for a look that’s sophisticated and stylish.
If photography isn’t you’re forte and you’re on a budget then 55max is the place to visit. You’ll find a range of both colour and black and white photographic prints from the world of fashion, travel and sport that cost, as the name says, a maximum of £55.
But if unlimited choice is what you’re after, then it doesn’t get much broader than Mini Gallery , home to more than 14,000 pieces of art for sale online from over 400 talented new, emerging and established artists who each self-manage their own professional online gallery space.
The award-winning online art gallery showcases a fantastic range of affordable original art and prints for every taste and every room in your home.
