Perhaps the more pedestrian approach to art starts with prints – the great art equaliser. Were we to equate it to fashion, prints (with the exception of limited editions) would be the high-street equivalent. Often necessary, easily accessible and inexpensive. Marcelina Janiszewska, Head of Design at Project London, encourages us to “think beyond the obvious” and avoid cheap mass-market prints which are “instantly recognisable and increasingly overused on social media”. Instead, look for independent artists working with different mediums – embroidery, ceramics, sculpture, oils, acrylics, watercolours, mixed media, textiles and tapestries. Marcelina encourages people to mix formats to “add genuine depth and interest to a space in a way that a uniform collection simply cannot”.
