Valentine's Day- give art February 14th
Image Andrea Tyrimos 'I Heart NY'
In our second part of our Valentine's blogs (read part one here), we step up the love and get serious. Here is how to woo when you've worked yourself into their life. And no, don't freak out because you've just realised that applies to you. Breathe, and look at some great art that actually says it all for you.
When things are getting serious...

Nothing says 'you stole my heart' like a winking bandit. Sometimes being a bit cheeky might cover up how nervous you are, that yes this amazing person in front of you has indeed taken your heart. In a warm and friendly way. Nobody will turn down a chance to hear how great they are, unless you're verging on stalker territory. Which hopefully you aren't.
Digital print on etching print from original french book title page. Limited edition of 20.
42x59cm

Delphine Lebourgeois's illustrated book covers poetically play with seductive imagery on antique books. Don't play it safe with flowers, go a little risqué and take a little of the french boudoir home. Need I say more?
Do you remember how you met your other half? Maybe you knew then you were onto something special. If you met in New York, London, or maybe even Brick Lane we have just the gift. Tyrimos' illuminous oil paintings capture that magic glow of light and love in her cityscapes- nothing says I love you like immortalising the moment that they crashed into your life.

Now wait one second, that fateful day you walked into each others lives may not have have been in one London location, in which case, follow your path through Oroumchi's re-imagined maps of London.

Soaring yet gentle, this collaboration is love on canvas. Deep reds and purples mingle in a vast open horizon. Vulnerability and freedom at their most tender.
