Contemporary fine art – a term that broadly encompasses artworks produced from the mid-20th century to present – reflects a dynamic period in art history, marked by rapid change and diverse artistic movements. Emerging after World War II, this era saw artists breaking away from traditional techniques, and exploring new forms of expression. Abstract expressionism, led by figures like Jackson Pollock (1912-1956) and Mark Rothko (1903-1970), emphasized the spontaneous nature of creation. This movement was followed by minimalism, with artists such as Agnes Martin (1912-2004) and Donald Judd (1928-1994), who focused on simplicity and the use of geometric shapes. These works stripped art to its fundamental elements, in a unique and eye-catching way. As the century continued, contemporary art evolved to include a vast array of styles and mediums. Pop art, with icons like Andy Warhol (1928-1987), brought everyday imagery into the high art realm – blurring the lines between commercial and fine art. Conceptual art (which prioritises ideals over aesthetics) challenged traditional notions of what could be.

Today, contemporary art is always evolving, reflecting the complexities of the modern world. Let yourself be tempted by the masterful use of colour, form and texture within our collection. You are sure to find a piece to perfectly fit your space, while also evoking thought and emotion. Whether you’re a seasoned collector, or just beginning your journey to buy contemporary art, our gallery offers a diverse range of artworks to suit your taste and bring your space to life.
