The Study of Popular Art

Pre-Colombian Goldwork

Art isn’t just found in galleries and museums - it’s woven into the fabric of everyday life. A Study in Popular Art is a celebration of the art that exists beyond the traditional boundaries of "high" culture - the folk art, the functional, the decorative, and the handmade.


In this segment, we take a closer look at a different aspect of popular art, exploring its origins, techniques, and cultural significance, and giving it the recognition it truly deserves. Whether it’s a centuries-old craft or a fading piece of everyday design, A Study in Popular Art is about seeing the world with fresh eyes and finding inspiration in the most unexpected places.

This article might seem quite niche, but if you've been reading our articles for a while, you'll know we're huge fans of any art or craft that's a little out of the ordinary. Made with incredible artistry, these are such great depictions of naïve animals, faces and figures.
