In the British Rom Com  “Love Actually”, actor Hugh Grant plays the charming yet defiant British Prime Minister who states (and I’m going to do this in my best British accent…)“We may be a small country but we’re a great one, too. The country of Shakespeare, Churchill, the Beatles, Sean Connery, Harry Potter.”

So is there really any doubt that the artists in this small, but great country would continue to make themselves relevant?

Artists such as Banksy, Damien Hirst, Harland Miller, ENDLESS and the Connor Brothers all use a mix of humorous and slightly subversive messaging. These artists remain at the forefront of tech, innovative marketing, messaging and of course…the news.

We’ve assembled a group of Contemporary British artworks which blend colorful styles and all of which maintain a through-line, a new way of seeing established norms that is quintessentially British.
