Modern Wall Art
Modern wall art opens a door to creative expression. The contemporary pieces that we have available at the gallery speak the visual language of our time, bringing fresh energy and perspective to your walls.
Contemporary framed prints from artists like John Dyer and Joanne Short bring a sense of rhythm, spontaneity, and colour into modern life. Their work reflects not only the beauty of Cornwall, but also the energy of everyday moments, sunlight on water, flowers in bloom, children playing on the beach. These pieces aren’t just modern; they’re alive with joy, movement and place.
Imagine waking each morning to a striking piece of art work whose colours shift as the day's light changes across its surface. We've observed how art becomes part of the rhythm of people's lives—responding to light, mood, and the activity happening around them.
Our aim is to make the journey from discovering a piece that resonates with you to seeing it hanging perfectly in your home straightforward, rewarding and enjoyable, ensuring that the art you select arrives safely to become part of your home. We aim to make the journey as important as the destination, which hopefully comes across through our easy to navigate website and extensive choices of prints available.
Classic Designs
For those who appreciate tradition, our classic collection offers a richness of detail and historical resonance that newer works cannot replicate. These timeless pieces bring an elegant maturity to any room, connecting your home to artistic traditions that have moved hearts for generations. Our historic collection includes work by Claude Monet, Vincent Van Gogh, Gustave Klimt and many more.
If you’re drawn to timeless elegance, our curated selection of classic prints includes masterpieces by Monet, Van Gogh, Klimt and others. These iconic works offer historical depth and compositional beauty, sitting beautifully alongside contemporary Cornish art to create a layered, gallery-worthy interior.
Within these classic offerings, you'll find scenes that tell stories of pastoral beauty, maritime adventures, still lifes and quiet moments of contemplation. Each brush stroke carries the weight of artistic tradition while bringing fresh relevance to contemporary spaces.
Types of Framed Prints
Framed prints are a cornerstone of modern wall art, offering versatile ways to elevate your home and express your unique style. Our collection speaks to every taste and space. Whether you're drawn to the energy of a looser, almost abstract art piece, the calm beauty of a landscape, or the elegance of a roomset, there's a framed print to become a valued part of your home. Our selection spans a range of colours and designs, and eye-catching hues that make a statement in any room.
We've found framed art to be remarkably adaptable in transforming spaces—use a large canvas print as a focal point in your living room, or create a personal narrative with a series of square prints to add character to a hallway or bedroom. Each piece is designed to complement your interior, whether you're seeking a subtle accent or a dramatic centrepiece. With this versatility, framed prints offer the perfect way to bring personality to your walls and create a home that truly reflects who you are and your taste in home decor.
Bespoke Frames for Every Space
Framing is an essential part of the artwork itself—balancing the colours, enhancing the composition, and helping the piece sit naturally within your space. At The John Dyer Gallery, we offer a carefully chosen palette of handmade frame styles to complement both the artwork and your home, whether you favour natural wood, black, or white finishes.
There is a genuine satisfaction in seeing artwork find its perfect frame—a balance of proportion, colour, and style that feels natural rather than forced.
Frame Colours
The palette of frame colours we offer is carefully selected to complement the full range of artistic expression and home environments. Choose from:
-
Black
-
White
-
Natural wood
Each shade brings its own character to your artwork—black frames adding drama and definition, white creating space and light, while natural wood tones bring warmth and organic beauty to your visual story.
These options allow your art to breathe within your space, finding that perfect balance that makes a house truly feel like home.
Custom Sizes
Art, like life, rarely fits into standard dimensions. Our choice of framing embraces this reality with:
-
Flexible size options that honour the unique proportions of each artistic vision
-
A range from intimate small prints to statement-making oversized pieces
-
Multiple standard options for those who prefer classic proportions
This flexibility ensures that each piece becomes not just something you display, but something that belongs precisely where you place it. Choosing the right size print to fit your space will make your art stand out and your room feel comfortable. Big isn't always beautiful, as hung in the wrong space it can overpower a room. Perhaps a series of smaller pieces will suit that space better. However, a big statement print can create the perfect focal point in the right space, and at a very reasonable price.
Handmade Quality
For collectors looking to personalise their presentation, we also offer a wide range of unframed prints—ideal for taking to your local framer. This allows for complete flexibility, particularly if you have a specific interior vision or prefer to pair the artwork with bespoke materials.
There can be a distinct difference in frames crafted by hand—a subtle variation in texture, a precision of joinery, a relationship with natural materials that machines cannot replicate.
Benefits of Wall Art
Wall art does more than fill empty spaces—it transforms the atmosphere of your home, making each room feel complete and inviting. Modern wall art, including our framed prints and art prints, brings a sense of sophistication and style to your décor, elevating the mood of any space. The right piece can tie together your interior design, complementing your furniture and colour scheme while adding a personal touch that makes your home uniquely yours.
Art has the power to change how a space feels. A well-chosen framed print can elevate the mood of a room, spark conversation, or offer moments of stillness and reflection. Whether it’s a vibrant beach scene by John Dyer or a peaceful garden painting by Joanne Short, wall art enriches your space with meaning, memory and beauty.
We've seen how art has the power to inspire, spark conversation, and create a welcoming environment for family and guests. Whether you choose abstract art for creative energy, or typography prints for a touch of wisdom, wall art is an ideal way to showcase your personality.
With a wide variety of styles in our collection, we're dedicated to helping you find art prints that make your living spaces feel truly special.
Versatile Art Prints for All Rooms
Art is not meant to be confined to formal spaces—we believe it should be woven into the fabric of daily life, bringing moments of beauty and reflection to every corner of your home. Each room has its own character and purpose, calling for art that resonates with its unique spirit.
We believe art belongs in every room—from living spaces and kitchens to hallways, bedrooms and home offices. Many of our collectors create gallery walls that reflect their stories and travels, or choose artwork with a shared colour palette to create cohesion and calm. Every room deserves a moment of beauty.
We enjoy helping our clients create gallery walls - thoughtful compositions of multiple pieces in conversation with each other can help transform ordinary spaces into personal collections where your taste and memories are on display for your own enjoyment. Equally a colour scheme within your print choices can enhance a room's atmosphere.
Living Rooms
The heart of the home deserves art that sparks conversation and contemplation. Living room walls offer the perfect canvas for statement pieces that capture attention and set the emotional tone for your most-used space. We've observed how art here becomes both a backdrop for daily life and a central character in the room's story.
In smaller living areas, artfully arranged collections of smaller prints create rhythm and interest without overwhelming the space. In more generous rooms, a single bold piece can anchor the entire space, its presence felt even when not directly viewed.
There is something deeply satisfying about surrounding yourself with images that speak to you—they become quiet companions in your daily routines, offering fresh perspectives through changing seasons and moods.
Bedrooms

The bedroom, our most intimate sanctuary, calls for art that soothes the spirit. Here, we suggest gentle landscapes, soft abstracts, or serene compositions in calming hues that can create the perfect visual environment, helping to ease the transition from day to night.
The placement of artwork in the bedroom deserves special consideration—choosing pieces that resonate with your sense of peace and comfort.
Home Offices
Our workspaces have become increasingly important as the boundaries between professional and personal life evolve. We've found that thoughtfully selected art can transform a functional office into an inspiring environment, encouraging creative thinking and providing visual relief from screens and paperwork.

Imagine glancing up from your computer to connect with a piece that reminds you why you do what you do—whether it's a Ted Dyer landscape that recalls a meaningful place, or a colourful cityscape of Paris, London or New York by Joanne Short, or a vibrant Cornish seascape or beach scene by John Dyer that stimulates fresh patterns of thought.
We believe art in the workspace isn't a distraction but a subtle companion to your professional self, creating an environment where both productivity and well-being can flourish.
Neutral Colour Schemes
Neutral colour schemes are a timeless choice in home décor, providing a versatile backdrop for your favourite framed prints and art. We've seen how incorporating neutral, softer wall art can add depth and texture to a room without overwhelming the space. This approach allows your art to shine, creating a harmonious balance that feels both modern and classic.

A neutral palette also offers flexibility, making it easy to refresh your décor with new prints or accent colours when inspiration strikes. Whether you're looking for a minimalist print to complement a contemporary interior or a soft, understated piece to bring calm to a busy room, neutral framed prints provide the ideal foundation for any wall art collection. They create the perfect canvas for expressing your style while ensuring your home always feels inviting and well-composed.
Famous Artists and Their Work
Bringing the work of famous artists into your home is a wonderful way to add culture, sophistication, and inspiration to your décor. We appreciate how art, from the bold expression of modern wall art to the timeless appeal of classic prints, can transform any space into a gallery-worthy setting. Whether you're drawn to the expressive forms of historic still life art or prefer the refined beauty of traditional masterpieces, there's a framed print in our collection to suit your taste and elevate your interior.
Our selection features a diverse array of prints and framed prints inspired by the world's most celebrated artists, allowing you to find pieces that resonate with your personality and enhance your home. These artworks serve as both stunning focal points and conversation starters, bringing inspiration to your daily life. With many options to explore, we're committed to helping you discover art that makes a statement and reflects your unique style.
High-Quality Materials and Longevity
Our prints are produced to a high quality using both fade resistant inks and archival paper.
Fade-Resistant Inks
The interplay of light and colour that brings a print to life should not be temporary but a lasting presence in your home. Our fade-resistant inks ensure that the artist's palette remains true to its original vibrancy, standing up to the natural challenges of sunlight and time if well placed within a home.
This preservation of colour is particularly important for pieces placed in well-lit rooms, where ordinary inks might lose their brilliance too quickly. It is however important not to hang printed artwork in direct sunlight.
Archival Paper
The foundation of any print is the paper that receives the image. Our archival-quality papers are the guardians of artistic integrity, designed to resist the yellowing and deterioration that lesser papers develop over time.
These acid-free papers represent our commitment to creating not just decorations but lasting pieces—works that can maintain their beauty rather than diminishing with age.
Creating a Cohesive Look
Achieving a cohesive look in your home is about thoughtful selection and creative arrangement. By selecting wall art—such as our framed prints and art prints—that complement each other in style, colour, and design, you can create a harmonious flow from room to room. Our art poster prints and modern wall art offer many possibilities for unifying your décor, while abstract art and other styles add layers of interest and inspiration.
We often suggest building a gallery wall with prints and paintings that share a common theme or palette, or mixing different sizes and frames for a dynamic, personalised display. The key is to let your personality guide you, using art to tell your story and enhance your space. With some inspiration and an eye for complementary pieces, you can transform your walls into a reflection of your taste and make your home feel truly distinctive—one print at a time.
How to Choose the Perfect Framed Art Print
Choosing art is deeply personal. At The John Dyer Gallery, we believe the right piece will spark a connection—it will feel like home. Whether you’re drawn to colour, memory, or mood, our framed prints allow you to express your personality and create spaces that nourish the soul.
The perfect piece is not necessarily the most valuable or prestigious but the one that creates a sense of recognition when you see it—a feeling that this image somehow connects with you.
Matching Your Interior Style

Art has the ability to either harmonise with or thoughtfully contrast your existing décor. A carefully chosen print can unify the colours in a room, echo architectural elements, or provide a counterpoint to your furnishings that enlivens the entire space.
Our diverse selection ensures that whether your home embraces minimalist simplicity, traditional warmth, or eclectic character, you'll find pieces that feel right for your space—not just fitting in but actively enhancing the visual conversation.
Considering Room Size
The relationship between art and space is a careful balance of proportion. A piece too small can feel insignificant; one too large can overwhelm its surroundings. Understanding the dimensions and viewing distances in your room is essential to finding that perfect balance.
Our custom sizing options free you from standard frame limitations, allowing you to select exactly the right proportions for your specific space—whether it's a narrow hallway that needs vertical emphasis or a wide wall calling for a horizontal panorama.
Personal Taste and Personality
Perhaps the most important factor in selecting art is simply this: does it move you? Does it speak to both your heart and your eyes? We believe the most successful art choices are those that reflect something essential about who you are and what matters to you.

Your home should tell your story, and the art you select forms chapters in that narrative. Whether you're drawn to bold abstracts, serene landscapes, or vibrant still lifes, the pieces you choose for your home become visual expressions of your unique perspective.
Easy Ordering and Delivery Process
The journey from discovering a piece that speaks to you to seeing it hanging perfectly in your home should be straightforward and enjoyable. We've designed an ordering and delivery experience that respects both the art itself and your anticipation in acquiring it.

The path from selection to purchase has been streamlined without sacrificing the information you need to make confident choices. We believe that technology should enhance the human experience of connecting with art.
Secure Payment Options
The practical aspects of acquiring art should never detract from the enjoyment of the experience. Our secure payment systems provide peace of mind, allowing you to focus on the excitement of your purchase rather than concerns about transaction safety.
This foundation of trust extends beyond the moment of purchase to our ongoing relationship with you as a collector of the art we provide.
Fast and Safe Delivery
