Artwork chez moi...

[rich p]

... I need to replace 2 prints in the lounge/front room/parlour (deletes as applicable). The current ones are 70 x 50cm so similar size required.
I don't want to spend an arm and a leg, as the chances are that I'll tire of them in a couple of years. Originals, even by good unknown local artists are pricey. The ones I've seen and liked have been £300+.
Anything too 'well-known' seems crass, and the days of block-mount prints of The Fighting Temeraire or The Hay Wain are consigned to the nostalgia thread.
So, any suggestions for a pair of tasteful, interesting and slightly unusual prints please. Nothing is out of the question.
Ta!
This is one under consideration by Umberto Boccioni, The Dynamism of a Cyclist...

Only charge you £250!

RichP, have you looked at http://buystudentart.co.uk? There will be other similar sites, but I think that was the one recommended to me.

Interesting. I'll have a closer look, thanks.

Rich, I am disappointed. You have several photographs of me. I'm sure you could get a couple printed out onto canvas.

Some sort of crisp packet collage?

Nah.

It's a blue frog emptying a tumble drier.

Thank you. I just cannot see anything else in it now.

Always worth having a look at ebay and searching for prints, linocuts, woodcuts, etc. you can find some interesting stuff. Couple of nice John Thorpe Hall prints on at the mo.

Yes, yes! I can see the "Dynamism" clearly now.. Does the blue snout belong to the cyclist then?

It's like that, isn't it? I can't see any frog because I found the blue penguin at the top before the frog was mentioned.

Actually, I like the painting. The fact that it throws the mind into a kind of Rorschach test mode is part of its attraction.

But is your penguin emptying a tumble drier?

 

[Hover Fly]

No, it's eating fish and chips.
