We've carefully curated a selection of works from each artist that showcases their skill and distinctive voice. Explore their creations and discover the inspiration behind each piece.

Lots of artists are now part of The Art Post collective. We will try to find an artist who is best suited for your project or commission. If you know who you would like to commission, feel free to specify the artists' name in the form.
We're asking artists to choose one notable person, place and object that has inspired them in their journey so far. We're mapping inspiration at a scale never attempted before
I am inspired by everything I come into contact with. My main influence is a desire to examine and understand my experiences. Many artists influence me Ogata Korin, Pierre Bonnard, Oskar Kokoschka, Cy Twombly, Joan Mitchell, to name just a few.
While my works are anchored in figurations, they are not representational or observational but are explorations of feeling awoken by the artist's search for inner meaning.
I find my inspiration in the way nature creates endless variety without judgment on what should or should not be.
We’re proud to collaborate with some of the world’s most exciting contemporary artists, bringing their work to new audiences. We’re passionate about helping them tell their stories authentically, and share their practice in creative ways.
