What are popular artists and art types in the UK?

by Finny Delmon.

From very bold colors and shapes to small textures and patterns, the UK has many art types and artists in it. Today I’m going to talk about them, which ones more people like and are overall more popular. If we're going to be talking about famous artists, I think Lucian Frued has to be up here. He made mostly portraits and usually spent up to 1,000 or more hours on a painting. And while that may sound boring, he still became considered one of the leading portraitists in the UK. Sadly, Lucian Frued died in 2011, therefore I don't think I can put him as a current popular artist, even if some of his art is still well known.

Gillian Ayres is a different artist and a different story though; she started out with small vinyl textures arranged what seemed like mathematically, she slowly changed to art of more colorful and bold shapes. She died in 2018, but her art is still on show and displayed in London and pretty popular; and since her death was pretty recent, I’m going to say that we can count her as still pretty popular of an artist, instead of having died a while ago, in which case most people wouldn’t remember them or know about them.

John Piper started out with abstract sculptures and paintings and ended up shifting to his own idea of abstraction. He made art during World War 2 and was an official war artist; and was pretty popular while he lived. Sadly though, he died in 1992, which was a long time ago, meaning they aren’t making more art and most people don’t care about dead people, so I’m not going to count him as a recent popular artist.

On the other hand, Damien Hirst was born in 1965 and is 56 years old at the moment, so he most likely won’t be unliked or not known about because of being dead, unlike John peper. He is most known for his series of dead animals, and is considered one of the richest artists in the UK.

Now, I’ve talked about a bunch of artists but if you're like me, you didn’t know any of their names before, so now let's talk about someone a bit more famous: Banksy. Banksy is a graffiti artist from the UK, but while there are some leads it isn’t known who this anonymous artist is. Banksy made many pictures on walls, most of which had people in them. They switched to pencil sketches inspired by another street artist, but their identity still didn’t get revealed. They can be traced back to the late 1990s, and are overall quite popular right now. David Hockney was a part of the pop art movement, but also made oil paintings and cubic art. He had his first expedition in 1960, but is still alive today and decently popular too.

After looking at all of these artists, and all of the different art that they do, I think it's safe to say that there is no one art type that is popular in the UK. Lots of people have different opinions, and lots of artists do different things but still stay popular. With that being said, I conclude that the question of what art is popular in the UK, can either be answered in many different ways or none, but I prefer the first. The UK has a large variety of art that is popular and cannot be summed down to one thing.

During the making of this essay, I had many problems and considered even giving up at one point. Thankfully, I pushed through and continued until I finished, and now this essay is here for you to read. I spent about half of my time in the making of this essay finding good sources, and ended up finding some pretty helpful sources with good information. In all, it took me roughly two weeks to make this and was a really painful experience. The 5 helpful sources I used were great British artists from the last century, top ten famous British artists, Britain's top ten artworks revealed, 10 famous British artists, and navigating worlds an ocean apart, through art. Great british artists from the last century were created byJD Woolnough and published on november 18, 2016. The top ten famous british artists were created by Anirudh, published on december 26, 2017. Britain's top ten artworks revealed was created by Rhod mcPhee, published on july 26, 2017. 10 famous british artists was created by the artist company, published on february 1st, 2021. Navigating worlds an ocean apart through art was created by Desiree Ibekwe, published on january 7th, 2022. I thank these sources, authors, and publishers for helping me with the making of this project.
