Browse the collection and explore a range of abstract works, geometric pieces and much more to discover new wooden wall art for sale online. Wood & the History of Art Wooden building and sculpting are some of the oldest, most enduring crafts in the world. Whether used for sculpture, a frame or as a stretcher for a painting on a canvas, wood as a material is integral to artistic practice, both for its practical and aesthetic qualities. The first example of decorative wood sculpture can be traced back to ancient Egypt, and from there was used in crafts around the world, including Swedish folk instruments and utensils for the indigenous people of northern Canada and Alaska. ##Featured Artists Alexander Grigorev is an artist and architect working across sculpture, installation, jewellery and architecture. His conceptual approach draws on themes such as popular culture and traditions in Russian and Asian art. Alexander’s series of Molecule works are highly intricate wall sculptures that are finished in gold paint to give them an Art Deco aesthetic. In a similar way to Alexander, Andrij Savchuk creates wall sculptures out of wood, and then finishes them with colourful and monochrome patterns. Discover our full collection of wooden sculptures.

Californian Art

Featuring sprawling landscape photography, large scale abstracts and vibrant figurative work, the collection was curated to celebrate the art of Californian artists on the platform. Discover more works from American artists in our New from America collection. California’s Art History California has been home to many pivotal post-war art movements in the last century. From elements of Dada making its way over to the west coast to LA-based Surrealism, California has long become the destination for eclectic modern and contemporary artistic styles. David Hockney is perhaps the most obvious artist to be associated with California. Many of his more recognisable paintings and digital drawings respond to Californian living. Hockney first visited Los Angeles in the 1960s and over the space of ten years, produced many paintings depicting poolside scenes. Browse contemporary artworks inspired by Hockney’s style in our David Hockney collection. Featured Artists Monica Griffen is a multidisciplinary artist living in LA. Working primarily in ​​photography, Monica’s works respond to the wide range of California’s natural landscapes. Her ‘In the Wild series documents a series of well-known places and the feelings inspired by each one. Dave Smith is also based in Los Angeles. His surrealist paintings are executed in a hyper-realistic style and draw together identifiable Californian vistas with seemingly random objects such as pizzas, shoes, power drills and fortune cookies. Both Monica and Dave, along with many other artists included in the collection, form artworks that reflect their unique impressions of California Discover more from our American artists.
