Modern art

Buy modern art should be an up-to-date experience

Until quite recently buying modern art was not only extremely time-consuming but could also be a minefield. The supply of modern art was kept in a stranglehold by expensive art dealers and merchants and chi-chi, overpriced high street art galleries. Not any more.

At ArtGallery.co.uk we bring you the most up-to-date way to furnish your home or office with stunning modern art from some of the UK's top artists working in this area.

We are intent on building the largest collection of modern artworks available in Britain today and we are not far off this ambitious target! With over 2500 original artworks in our galleries, all available for sale today with delivery within the next five days and a full 14 day money back guarantee, there is little that can go wrong.

Start your search for modern art

Where to start. First of all visit our modern art originals. From there click on the Search by Style link, and select Abstract. This will bring up the very latest collection of abstract and modert artworks available from ArtGallery.co.uk at this time.

When you have found an artwork or artist you like the look of, feel free to investigate further by clicking through to the artist page and reading their biography. Many artists have photos too! Then check all the artworks in their collection and compare colours and prices. Make sure you are aware of the size of the artwork. This is made really easy with our unique test drive feature - see what your art will look like when hanging on a wall, and compare it with the size of the furniture and people in the room.

Don't forget to give feedback

If you like the modern art available through our galleries, don't forget to rate each piece. This leaves a trail of ratings to guide other customers and also helps us in our search for up and coming artists.

Which art to buy?

If you are a first-time art buyer, it can be difficult to know exactly what art to buy. Here are some things to consider when deciding.

Hanging art in the right space

First of all, you need to think about the space you want to hang your art in. The right artwork in the right space will add a wow factor to any room. Measure the space you're going to hang the artwork in and ensure you leave plenty of white space (blank wall space) around the artwork. Art needs to have room to breathe on a wall. Too small a space and it will look cramped. But, too large a space and it will look swamped, and insignificant.

Buy the right art for your room

Next consider the style of your room. Surprisingly, a traditionally decorated room doesn't always need a traditional artwork. Imaginative combinations can be achieved providing the art is sympathetic to the room. Use our list of styles to find a traditional artwork or a contemporary abstract.

Consider light levels. Will the art you buy be hanging in a dark space, or brightly lit area? Sunlight makes a difference too. A dark sombre artwork won't be shown off effectively by bright sunlight, whereas a bright floral will look a little sad stuck in a dark corner or on a gloomy landing.

Buy the right art for your budget

Finally consider your budget. At ArtGallery.co.uk delivery within the UK is included in the stated price on each artwork to buy. So there's no need to worry about that. Feel free to use the enquiry system to barter a little with an artist over price. It's what it's there for - though of course not all artists are able to discount their artwork.
