A Brief History of Acrylic Painting

Acrylic paints were first developed in the 1930s, initially for industrial and commercial applications. Their fast-drying properties, durability and adaptability made them popular in house paints, advertisements and even car finishes. By the 1950s, artists began experimenting with acrylics, recognising their potential for creative expression.

Influential artists like Mark Rothko and David Hockney played a significant role in popularising acrylic paints. Rothko used them to create rich, evocative colour fields, while Hockney embraced their versatility for innovative landscape and portrait works. You can explore a rare selection of prints for sale in Rise Art’s Hockney Collection.

By the mid-20th century, acrylics had become a preferred medium for many, particularly in abstract and modern art. Their ability to be applied in both thin washes and thick impasto enabled dynamic, experimental techniques. Today, acrylic painting remains a dominant force in contemporary art, offering artists a vibrant and adaptable medium that suits a broad range of creative practices.

Abstract and Expressionist Acrylic Art

Sean Madden is renowned for his large acrylic paintings which combine short, hurried and broad, sweeping brushstrokes to create evocative compositions. These experiments, such as Ghost Dance (2022), navigate emotional and psychological spaces which evoke the complexity of human experience. With surging, dynamic energy, this ethereal painting feels simultaneously like a landscape and an internal expression, inviting the viewer into a visceral journey of raw emotion.

Inspiring and Colourful Acrylic Works

German-based painter Bea Garding Schubert creates dynamic acrylic paintings that reveal new details with each viewing, drawing the audience into their joyful, springlike palettes. Her bold compositions combine textual elements, bold swathes of colour, expressive brushstrokes and graffiti-like scrawling across the canvas. Kiss of Life No. 3 (2025), bursts with vibrant energy, evoking the lush, exuberant beauty of a tropical paradise in full bloom.

Vibrant Acrylic Landscapes

Inspired by the marshy Fenlands of eastern England, the work of Fred Ingrams showcases a masterful use of colour to create hypnotic landscapes. In Rimsdale Burn, 2022 (2022), Ingrams draws the landscape out into vibrant loops of colour, as a teal and duck-egg blue river meanders through a hillside that shifts from green, to muted peach and vivid magenta.

Why Collect Acrylic Paintings?

Acrylic paintings offer a wealth of benefits to collectors, particularly their vibrant colours, which remain striking for years. Unlike other mediums, acrylics retain their brilliance over time, resisting fading and preserving their original intensity—making them an excellent long-term investment.

Beyond durability, acrylics are also incredibly accessible, offering a diverse range of styles at various price points. Whether you’re an experienced collector or new to art, acrylic paintings provide an ideal addition to any collection.
