Fine Art Decor

Isn’t it satisfying to restore something to its former glory?

We are often fixated on creating totally new concepts at work. But what about the ‘works of art’ that already exist. One that was hugely popular in the past, and just needs a refresh to fit with todays expectations?

Whether it be a product, a service, a person, a team…Brushing off the dust, reviving the colours and vibrancy, bringing out the details, making the bigger picture stand out. Whether metaphorically, digitally or literally. The impact of the ‘before and after’ is powerful.

What can you restore before Christmas?

An idea on day 10 of 12 days of Secret Santa is to share a work of art with a colleague that might become inspired by it:

Basket of Flowers, by Eugène Delacroix, 1848-48

Basket of Flowers. Eugène Delacroix. 1848-49. by Ali Farrell | Redbubble Eugène Delacroix painted this at his country home, having left Paris following the revolution. This and one other he deemed good enough for the Salon it was destined for. The painting currently on display at The Met, Fifth Avenue Gallery 801 is stunning

Day 6 in the 12 Days of Secret Santa series 🎅

I was chatting to a friend yesterday who is really feeling the pinch. I can relate to that! Their Secret Santa budget is under £3. So I thought I would share this idea for a secret Santa gift for fine art lovers and fans of Vincent Van Gogh in particular. From £1.72.

Bouquet of Flowers in a Vase. Vincent van Gogh. 1890. Sticker by Ali Farrell Vincent van Gogh (1853 -1890) is the famous Dutch painter. This particular piece is believed to have been painted just before his death in July 1890. The colours have faded somewhat on the original, in particular the carnation at the front and the iconic V • Millions of unique designs by independe...

Day 5 in the 12 Days of Secret Santa Ideas series:

A zipped pouch featuring Roses in a Bowl by Henri Fantin-Latour is a great gift for storing make-up, spare coins and supermarket trolley tokens amongst other things.

Fantin-Latour created this work of fine art in 1883. He was well known for his talent for still life in particular flowers. Very popular in England his work was known far better here than in France!

Many of us grow our own fruit and veg and like to cook it ourselves. At this time of year it looks like nothing much is going on, in the garden or allotment. In reality, a lot of work is being put in, to condition the soil to ensure it is optimised before planting out in the spring.

A bit like many businesses. Some are having their Christmas rush, whilst others are quietly preparing for the year ahead.

So on day 4 of the 12 Days of Secret Santa Ideas, is this Apron featuring a 400+ year old painting. £15.15 while 25% sale is still on and if you buy 10 items or more you get a hefty 50% off everything in your basket!

Day 3 of 12 Secret Santa gift ideas: Today there is 25% off site wide. Which brings this Winter Landcape by Utagawa Hiroshige in 1846 to under £10 🎉.

You don’t have to invent something from scratch to be an innovator. Just like Steve Jobs at Apple. Jobs didn’t invent video calls but FaceTime sure made it prolific!

Utagawa Toyokuni didn't invent Japanese Woodblock prints. But like Jobs, who came over 200 years later, Utagawa put his own twist on the idea and in doing so brought it to fame and popularity. It is easy to see why, when you examine this exquisite example of his work: Courtesans and Attendants Making a Giant Snowball c1796.

12 of Secret Santa. Day 2. What would Secret Santa get for someone that loves innovation, admires Japanese art or simply enjoys having beautiful images around them?
