Find art you like from the comfort of your own home
(23/01/2009)

Art is the perfect way to add colour or to make a statement in a room. Art can be moved, played around with, admired in different lights and interpreted in many ways.

Mail Order Art has just launched and offers a wide variety of artwork online which ranges from fantastic wall art sculpture to original art and prints. With more than 5,000 pieces available to purchase, Mail Order Art is believed to be one of the largest collections of art online. A wide range of subject is featured including landscape, floral, humour, musical and dance, abstract, metal wall art, animals, art figures and children’s art, plus there are exclusive designs from a team of artists who are all well established and accredited in their own right.

Marcus Dicken, md of Mail Order Art, says: “I realised there was a great demand for artwork from the general public but a lot of people did not know where to go to find it or what to choose. I set the website up to help people and present them with a wide selection of artwork to choose from, divided into helpful categories.

“Art shops can be intimidating, especially if you are unsure of what you are after, and I hope that this website will provide a service which will make it easier and more approachable for everyone to find art they like from the comfort of their own homes. As we only source from reputable suppliers, customers can be sure the artwork they buy is of a high standard. Some of our suppliers are actually exclusive to us.”

Mail Order Art’s Piece de Resistance is its large variety of metal wall art from Artisan House, including ‘Kaleidoscope’. This best selling piece displays the essence of change through an enjoyable mixture of pattern. The colours can be accentuated by lighting. All of the metal art work pieces go through a skilled process as the metal is formed, cast, welded, brazed then exquisitely finished.

“The fantastic quality of the website will allow a customer to move around the wall sculpture and magnify the image to look in detail at the colours and three dimensional forms - as close to viewing the real thing as possible. This feature will soon be available across the whole website.”

Artisan House's sculptors and apprentice sculptors labour to ensure that the quality and aesthetic integrity of each piece of metal wall art and sculpture is faithfully recreated. Since its founding, this strict insistence on quality has led to the design house being classed as a "standard of excellence" for metal wall art.

Mail Order Art also offers great present ideas or a gift for any occasion. With an assortment of different genres, there is something for him, for her, for the home, for the office or even for the kids. There is a price to suit every budget with artwork ranging from as little as £11.99 to over £500.

One of the biggest sellers is the artwork from the humour section, in particular Bill Battram’s range of cow illustrations. ‘Dave’ and ‘On the Razz’ have proved particularly popular as gifts.

The selection of original artwork is striking. For example, the ‘Red Grid’ art canvas, which is hand painted to create a highly textured finish, can provide an amazing feature on a bland wall. The striking colours and bold pattern will certainly liven up any room.

Other selections include the beautiful landscape collection. With a range of views from beaches, fields and cityscapes, the Venetian range of photographic artwork is particularly impressive. The ‘Gondolas at Sunset’ canvas picture print is part of a new range of photographic art which would make stunning presents or lovely additions to your own home.
