The online gallery is a kaleidoscope of artistic expression, where a spectrum of styles from Naïve to traditional art beckons. Cornwall’s vibrant art scene, in particular, is a testament to this variety, with artists like John Dyer and Joanne Short infusing their canvases with the region’s luminous charm.

The Allure of Contemporary Art Online

Contemporary art, often seen as a subset of modern art, has found a new home online, a dynamic and ever-evolving showcase of styles, mediums, and voices from around the world. The allure lies in the breadth and depth of original works on display, from original canvases to signed limited edition prints, offering a personalised and involved buying experience.

Curated selections of unique and original contemporary artwork on our platform affirm the confidence buyers need to invest in the art of today.

From Canvas to Digital: The Evolution of Art Sale

The art market has witnessed a transformative shift, moving from galleries to the expansive digital realm. This evolution has made contemporary art more accessible, inviting a diverse audience to buy art through platforms that have seen exponential growth, all from the comfort of their own home.

Artists can reach global audiences on social media, selling their artworks directly, thus redefining the traditional art sale.

Connecting with Cornish Inspiration

There’s an undeniable charm in the Cornish landscape. Celebrated artists like Ted Dyer, Joanne Short, and John Dyer create captivating artworks, available for purchase online, inviting you to connect with their Cornish inspiration.

Ted Dyer’s impressionistic oils and John Dyer’s contemporary naive paintings, featured in national collections, embody the artistic spirit of Cornwall, offering us the opportunity to immerse ourselves in their vision.

Commissioning Artwork Through the Web

The digital landscape also opens avenues for commissioning artwork through the web. Art lovers can now liaise directly with artists, harnessing the convenience of online platforms like JohnDyerGallery.com to create original works that resonate with their personal narratives.

This modern approach to commissioning art allows for a collaborative and fulfilling creative process, enriched by direct interactions, whether virtual or face-to-face.

The Process of Commissioning Your Perfect Piece

The journey to commission your perfect piece includes the following steps:

  1. Select a style and artist from our gallery.

  2. Have a detailed exchange on email or by telephone to articulate your vision.

  3. Work closely with the artist to ensure every aspect of the artwork aligns with your expectations and what you want included in the painting.

  4. Have regular updates and feedback sessions to refine the piece.

  5. Culminate in an artwork that you love.

Here at The John Dyer Gallery we like to discuss what it is you would like and then we decide if it is something we feel fits in with our work. If the piece is something which, when created, will fit into our collection easily then we do not ask for any payment in advance and you are not expected to buy the painting. If, however, the painting is much more personal to you (your own house/garden for example), we will negotiate how much advance payment we may need, depending on the size of piece.

Celebrated Artists at Your Service

Embrace the opportunity to collaborate with celebrated artists, such as John Dyer, Joanne Short and Ted Dyer, for an exclusive commission that adds depth to your collection. Their commitment to artistry ensures that clients receive pieces that are not only visually stunning but also carry the weight of the artist’s signature. Acclaimed organisations and personalities have sought their work, adding to the allure of their paintings and the exclusivity offered through the John Dyer Gallery. Among their collectors are Alan Titchmarsh, Toyah Wilcox and Kim Wilde.

Art for Every Wall and Wallet

The beauty of online art lies in its inclusivity; artwork exists for every wall and wallet. From captivating affordable art to prestigious investment pieces, online sources offer an array of options to cater to diverse financial frames.

Whether you’re searching for that perfect canvas, a poster to liven up a room, or a limited edition print, the digital art market accommodates all. We have recently started to work with OWN ART, offering an interest free staged payment.

Finding Art That Fits Your Financial Frame

Setting a budget is the first step to finding art that resonates with both your heart and your wallet. Online galleries guide buyers with tools and advice to navigate curated selections that balance quality and cost. In the UK, financial options like the Arts Council England’s Own Art Scheme on JohnDyerGallery.com make it easier for art lovers to spread the cost over time, ensuring that financial constraints don’t hinder the pursuit of aesthetic pleasure.

We have recently started to work with this Own Art scheme, offering an interest free staged payment. This scheme works with the support of The British Arts Council. It means you are able to have your painting as soon as the first payment has gone through and you have been accepted onto the scheme.

Hopefully this scheme will enable those customers who may otherwise feel they can't justify paying the full amount straight away.

Exclusive Sales and Limited Editions

Nothing quite matches the thrill of acquiring a signed limited edition print. Artists like John Dyer and Joanne Short present collectors with the opportunity to own a slice of their artistic repertoire, elevating the ownership of art to an experience of exclusivity.

Enhance Your Space with the Right Artwork

Art is not just about possession; it’s about transformation. The right artwork enhances your space and reflects your personal taste. Deciding on the types, styles, and sizes of art that will complement your surroundings is a crucial step in creating an environment that is both aesthetically pleasing and uniquely yours.

Measuring Up: Choosing the Correct Dimensions

Artwork should harmonise with your space, not overwhelm it. Finding the correct dimensions is essential; art should cover a proportional part of the wall and be in sync with the furniture it complements. Eye level is the sweet spot for hanging, ensuring that each piece can be admired comfortably as part of the room’s overall composition.

Colour and Style Harmony

Beyond size, the harmony of colours and styles can make or break the impact of artwork within a space. Choosing art that echoes the nature and beauty of a room’s existing palette and design can elevate the quality of the living experience.

With creativity, even simple framed items like our range of vintage style posters can become displays of personal expression and style.

The Simplicity of Framing and Hanging Online Purchases

The process of framing and hanging wall art, once a complex endeavour, has been simplified by online purchases. Artwork arrives ready to adorn your walls, framed with care and equipped for easy installation.

The simplicity of this service means that art lovers can transition from buyer to exhibitor with ease and confidence.

Frames to Suit Every Artwork

Choosing the right frame can accentuate the beauty of your prints and posters. With a variety of materials and styles to consider, from real wood to sleek modern finishes, the frame should be in dialogue with the artwork, enhancing its presence without distraction. Our limited edition prints are unframed, giving you the choice of how you want them to be presented in a way that best suits your home.

Our collection of open edition prints come in a choice of simple white, black or natural wood coloured frames, or again, can be purchased unframed to give you more personal choice. Our posters are in simple white frames which set the images off beautifully.

Hang with Confidence

Once you have the perfect frame, hanging your artwork with precision is the next step. Positioning art at eye level and maintaining the right gap above furniture ensures that your artwork integrates seamlessly into your living space. It’s about creating a visual balance that feels both intentional and effortless.
