Christabel is an artist who specialises in the human form. Her strong sense of observation has enabled her to refine her technique by paring down detail yet still capturing the very essence of people in their environments. The intimacy she creates gives you a great sense of the people in the picture, their thoughts and their feelings. Christabel won Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year in 2019. This limited edition print has been made from one of Christabel's most popular paintings and is exclusive to ACC.

FAQs

We love mixing new works with existing pieces in your collection and this can be a great and easy way to create a gallery wall. Buying contemporary work to sit alongside traditional pieces you may have inherited is a great way to modernise a space while giving the more traditional pieces a new lease of life. Our advice would be to have a common thread that runs between the pieces to tie them together - this could be similar tones or colours, or a theme that runs through all the works.

This is a favourite topic of ours. We LOVE framing! There are lots of factors to bear in mind before you choose a frame and what you pick will depend heavily on the space you’d like to hang the piece in. If you’re hanging on a neutral wall, we love to go for a colourful frame and using interesting moulding, be it reeded or bobbin, is a great way to add texture to a room. For works on paper with a deckle edge, we like to float or surface mount the paper, so you can see the lovely raw edge, and then finish with a simple wooden frame. If you’re trying to make a space more contemporary or traditional, framing can be a great way to do this. We also love framing traditional works in modern frames and modern pieces in really traditional old antique gilt frames.

Originals refer to one-off artworks, either oil paintings or works on paper, where there is only one of that particular work. A limited edition print is one of an edition of that work. The smaller the edition, the more exclusive, as there aren’t so many out in the world and this is usually reflected in the price. We also have some open edition prints, which means there is an unlimited number of that print, which is a really brilliant and affordable way to start buying art or adding new pieces to your collection.
