The sinister and the surreal: Buy Art
Happy Halloween to one and all! Time to dress up and take glee from all things gory, sinister and gloomy. Well maybe your home needs a touch of the other side. Or maybe a little outfit inspiration.

Trick or treat? The swirling colours cast a spell and suddenly you are in a furry world of a cat and a cottage. Look a little bit closer and you'll see the witch on the broom heading out for the night. Surely this is halloween?!

Singling D'Ambra's work down to one piece to show you was not easy. The reason being that this king of etchings revels in the sinister and the surreal. Standing Dreamer is perched on an anvil footed bird, topped with crescent moon to illuminate your walls.

Now this duo know a thing or two about halloween, to be precise their Skull Appreciation Society knows a thing or two. Their world of skulls is indeed descending for this holiday with Celebrabis Vitae Skull exhibition. My personal favourite of theirs is Tessa, a beautiful mix of dripping pink ink embedded in an emerging skull. And the name Tessa? Not not a horror story, but tessellating.
