Contemporary abstracts
Bold contemporary abstracts that energise modern spaces with their dynamic presence and professional appeal.

Where boldness meets expression
John's abstract work represents a completely different artistic exploration from his traditional landscapes. Created in the privacy of his studio, these pieces emerge from pure artistic instinct and emotional expression. Unlike his open landscape painting process, John's abstract work is intensely personal – bold brushstrokes, vibrant colours, and dynamic compositions that speak to the energy of contemporary life.
All abstract works can be commissioned in your preferred colours and size – learn more about our bespoke commission process.
