Didier Guenard is a known artist, furniture maker, and restorer from France that specialized in wooden art and dรฉcor. His signature creations are works of fine furniture made from vintage and antique oak barrels.

The sturdy and durable oak wood can be transformed into unique and beautiful pieces that add a rustic and vintage charm to any space. The process of making artistic furniture from these barrels is a creative and innovative endeavor that requires a skilled craftsman.

Tom Glynn is a rare breed: an artist who can move effortlessly between artforms, materials, scales and registers, equally adept at making miniature paintings andย monumental sculptures. And yet all of his work is unmistakably English in mood.ย His images are populated by the countryโs Neolithic monuments and pastoral landscapes, and informed by the many artists who inhabited those places before him.ย Glynn is driven by the same Romantic spirit that motivated Palmer and Turner, Nashย and Piper, Wallis, Lanyon and Hockney, but his art is never anything but his own. Itย is, after all, underpinned by an urge that has coursed through his veins since he firstย stepped foot in a sandpit.ย

How much do your paintings cost? “My paintings range in size, theme and medium and whilst I make very large and small paintings, the price can vary considerably. A small ย painting may take me one to two weeks to complete, while a very large ย painting will evolve over one to two months and involve more materials. Typically, I have sold A5 to A4 paintings from $5,000 to $8,000ย (dependent upon the dealer or gallery commission) and very large ones from $10,000 to $15,000. My paintings will also be valued against myย expertise, experience and reputation and of course every piece I make is unique and continues to increase in value. With regards to my sculptures and assemblages, prices are on application.”
