Valentine' Day is rapidly approaching and the shops are full of expensive, red tat! At the Wykeham Gallery we have some wonderful pieces of art that will convey the Valentine's message - that not only your love, but this painting or piece of sculpture, will last forever!
Here are a few obvious examples - but of course paintings of places that you have visited together and other paintings that evoke happy memories are always a romantic gift - come and have a look or browse our website.
Peter Blake is one of the top British Pop artist’s and has done many album covers but probably the most memorable is the iconic one for the Beatles, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. This wonderfully colourful silkscreen print ‘I Love you’ is available in the gallery.
This fabulous bronze sculpture below is called 'Bear Hug' and is by Bryn Parry. Bryn's series of polar bear sculptures are always popular. The latest edition to the collection is 'Cresta Bear' – at the gallery ready for the next snow storm!
Matt Duke's animal bronzes are also very popular. The overall shape of his delicate bronze 'Hummingbird' is very heart shaped - a really delightful piece - perfect for the bird lover in your life!
What a romantic pair these little sparrows are! ‘Sparrows in a Frame’ is a bronze by Adam Binder.
Or how about a permanent display of flowers?
Peonies by Bruce Yardley The Garden Apple by Dorothy Dent
Think beyond the roses that will have died within a couple of days!
Keep your love alive with the power of art!
