5 Artworks to Gift at Christmas

Welcome to Hell by Banksy is a screen print on paper realised in 2004 by the British writer, and it is part of a trilogy titled Placard Rat, signed in original by the artist.

In this Poster Banksy represents a mouse that holds up a sign with the writing:"WELCOME TO HELL".

Rats are often used by the artist in his works, in fact, there are also other versions where on the sign is written: "GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN" or "BECAUSE I'M WORTHLESS".

For Welcome to Hell and the other Banksy Artworks of the trilogy Placard Rat, the artist took inspiration from the book "Get Out While you Can: Escape the Rat Race" by George Marshall.

Between these two elements there is a big pink heart, symbolising love and positivity.

Creating a background in Street Art style Mr Brainwash realises a strong image, matching different techniques like painting, spray, collage.

Thanks to the combination of different styles, the writer gives birth to a brilliant work that recalls the way of working of great artists such as Andy Warhol, Keith Haring and Banksy.

In the Artwork Alive Romero Britto portrays hearts, symbol par exellence of love, often represented in his works revisited with lively and colourful patterns.

This artist makes of love is primary source of inspiration for many of his works, and he is famous for the personal style where he combines Cubism, Pop Art and Graffiti, using vivid and bright colours.

In Romero Britto Alive Red, the hearts are the main characters of the painting and they are filled with different shades of colours and patterns, interwined among them on a contrasting white background.

On top of the bigger hearts are overlapped red smaller ones on the foreground, together with silver stars and golden dots.

The red hearts and silver strars are enriched with glitters, making the artwork even brighter.

For Romero Britto, Paintings and scultpures are a way to convey his vision of the world through simple images and vivid colours that instill happiness.

The bright colours of the flowers contrast with the flat background, moving to the background the feature of the traditional artistic style.
