Acrylic Art & Paintings

Versatile Acrylic Medium

Acrylic paint has been in use since the 1940s, and from the beginning it had the advantage of carrying with it possibilities that were usually found only in either watercolour or oil paint. Giants of the art world, and indeed progenitors of specific artistic movements, have made great use of acrylics. This goes from Andy Warhol to Roy Lichtenstein and, more recently, David Hockney. These modern masters were drawn to acrylic not only its fast drying qualities but also its aforementioned versatility. Moreover, there is an appealing vibrancy to acrylic paint which delights the artist just as it does the viewer of the painting.

Contemporary Acrylic Paintings to Traditional Styles

You will see that there are various styles accommodated within our array of acrylic artworks. The versatility of acrylic as a paint means that it is well suited to the world of abstract painting. Quick drying paint allows for a level of spontaneity and freedom that often suits this style. On top of that, the vibrant colours that acrylic presents are well placed in many an abstract piece which, rather than bring strictly bound to a delineated meaning or narrative, crosses the boundary into being a meditation on colour itself. Many of these abstract pieces tell all you need to know about the abundance of talent in the contemporary art world. Our range of contemporary acrylic paintings shows the very best of what is out there today. Our collection also caters to the traditional style, with many original artworks today using acrylic to capture the beauty of picturesque landscapes and seascapes with a sense of delicacy and balance that will never fail to please the eye.
