Laura Jackson, the design and interiors expert, has teamed up with the Affordable Art Fair to brighten every Christmas with an edit of 60 of the most on-trend artworks for a wide range of budgets and tastes.

The interiors aficionado scoured the Affordable Art Fair’s website (affordableartfair.com) reviewing the best of some 7,500 works to hand-pick the hottest 60 pieces, from more established artists such as Kevin Dutton and Magnus Gjoen, through to promising emerging names.

The Affordable Art Fair’s purpose is to democratise art collecting by helping art lovers become art buyers. The company has grown over the last 19 years to become the world’s leading destination to discover the joy of collecting art, bringing work from established and emerging talent together in one place online and through its Affordable Art Fairs held across the UK and around the world. Prices start from £50 and affordableartfair.com has become the go-to website for finding the perfect gift for someone you love.  

Highlights from the Laura Jackson Christmas edit include:

• Richard Heeps, Mango Motel, Signed C-Type, Edition of 25, Bleach Box, £150 - This photograph was shot in 2013 in the doo-wop town of New Jersey. The crystal-clear skies and architectural signage create the perfect escapist artwork celebrating Americana. Laura says: “This outstanding print will brighten up any home throughout the winter months.” Buy it here.
• Anne Storno, The Secret Woman, Signed Silkscreen Print, Edition of 30, Wychwood Art, £210 - Storno’s artwork combines images from two separate narratives which come together to form an entirely original piece. Laura says: “The intricacies of the artist’s process elevate it beyond its relatively simplistic appearance. It’s also a limited edition of just 30 prints so you best be quick!” Buy it here.
• Kevin Dutton, Mixed Tulips 6, Signed C-Type, Edition of 12, Gas Gallery, £275 - Dutton’s piece embodies both the artist’s love of botany and photography with a sharp and precise final image. Laura says: “I love the way in which the plants were grown in the artist’s own garden and photographed in his own house, this makes the piece feel so personal which is something I always think art should be!” Buy it here.
• Magnus Gjoen, Sèvres Goliathus Scarabaeidae, Signed Archival Print, Edition of 25, Liberty Gallery, £300 - This piece echoes the themes of Laura’s newly renovated home by mimicking the Victorian trends of miniature opulence, which will add character to any interior. Laura says: “This work would bring a beautiful modern twist to a vintage-styled home and what could possibly be better than a splash of gold at Christmas?” Buy it here.
• Nathalie Maquet, La Plante 4, Original Oil on Canvas, Eclectic Gallery, £1,300 - Maquet creates a vibrant and detailed floral surface in this colourful painting. Laura says: “I love the way this work invites you into the imaginary – you really feel like you’re stepping into the mind of the artist.” Buy it here.
• Daniel Sueiras Fanjul, SN – Retrato Ilustre C, Original Oil on Canvas, Urbane Art Gallery, £3,650 - Award winning artist Fanjul sources antique frames from Spain, which are refurbished and restored, before he begins a painting. Laura says: “I love this unique painting of a chimp in a bright pink fur coat with a full face of make up. It’s great fun and engenders a sense of the history through the artist’s use of ‘found’ materials.” Buy it here.

 Laura Jackson elaborates on her partnership with Affordable Art Fair and what makes art an ideal Christmas present:

 “Collecting art is a joy and giving someone an original piece for Christmas goes way beyond the traditional stocking filler. Art not only entertains, it can inspire and even improve wellbeing. I had great fun going through affordableartfair.com thinking about friends and family and how the different works would appeal to each individual. There’s such an extensive range of work available I was spoilt for choice in making the selection but am delighted to be able to pull together a mix of drawings, paintings, prints and photographs to suit a variety of tastes and budgets.”
