Modern British Artists Biographies and Paintings

We delight in the research and the seeking & sourcing of Modern British Artists for our art collectors and sometimes we find a nice European picture we love.

Exploring a modern British artists’ background, their personal story and connection with British Art, as well as the timeline behind their paintings and etchings, can bring a different aspect and appreciation for their work.

We have summarised some artists information for you and added in the portfolio of their paintings that we have for sale, be it Modern British or European, along with any previous sold works.

We are always looking to extend our knowledge of Modern British Artists as well as European painters and print makers too. If you would like to add a detail or discuss a biography, please get in contact.
