Living on the English coast we love the works of the talented Matt Healy.

With pieces from £60, his works could bring a focal point to a room. Own a piece of unique art and support talented independent artist.

About;

Born and raised in the North London Edgelands, an early fascination with the English Romantic poets and artists shaped these landscapes into realms of almost religious significance.

Employing materials and symbols found in these spaces I aim to create a space for the viewer to project upon, reflect within and create a personal cosmology.

Through repetition and distortions in context words and images are allowed room to be re investigated and re invested with personal meanings from each individual interpretation.

Primarily a painter, I have been researching and experimenting with walking and land art.

We absolutely love this SOOUK print from Southwood Living.

It seems such a strong message right now, to stand together (socially distanced) and not be selfish. Think of your neighbours and loved ones and let’s make this work.

Have this powerful emotive print on your wall, for a positive lift whilst confined to your house.

Now (and always) and more than ever, support businesses. So many beautiful products that can still be delivered to your door.

We are constantly looking for new art prints, new artists, new designers, new print makers, new illustrators, new typographers and other creatives to admire and use their work to adorn our walls. We create gallery walls, look for originals in second shops and markets, read up on latest trends and often just fall in love with a piece and frame it.

Figurative work has long been popular but there are more modern styles of work emerging in the last few years and it’s strong trend being seen in the big name print houses and interiors stores. But how about having something more unique, getting creative yourself and trying your hand at a new skill.

Life drawing classes can be found in all the major cities and towns, in art schools, colleges, community centres, church halls… it’s always good to check local press for latest information

Explore life drawing and perhaps get to create your own art for your wall, discover a talent or just simply for fun and enjoyment and to then run off and buy somebody else’s work but appreciate even more the work and talent behind it.

Search the internet for classes in your area or work from home with photography and invest in a good tutorial book like Life Drawing or Life Drawing in 15 Minutes

Go bold with the modern abstract trend. Brands are filling the stores with strong, geometric and block colour prints and patterns to bring great design to the home.

Interiors can be clean, white and minimal and you can then introduce this trend in cushions, prints, rugs or bedding to make a statement.

Hunt out great indie designers on sites like Etsy and Trouva, to find unique pieces strong for this trend.
