Bold Beasts

£20

This art box investigates artists’ imaginings of mythical beasts and wild animals. Inspired by Pablo Picasso and his interest in the Minotaur, by Karel Appel and his child-like, mixed-up animal creations; by Henri Rousseau’s tiger, a wild and exotic creature he had never actually seen; and finally by legendary dragons from different cultures around the world.

Playful Pattern

£20

Most great artists use shape and pattern in their compositions. In this box, we look at three artists who have particularly enjoyed playing with the idea of repetition and pattern: M. C. Escher with his love of tessellations; Fahrelnissa Zeid and her large-scale abstract paintings; and Camille Walala with her huge bold street-art murals filled with bright colour!
