We’ve been working with early-career artists and original work under £5,000 for over 20 years. This piece reflects on how and why that approach has held.

This is where we mark momentum.

An artist starts to really engage with their practice - and people begin to notice, including us. Sometimes it’s a show, sometimes it’s press, sometimes it’s just the right kind of attention gathering.

One of the reasons we’ve been featured widely in the national money press is that we tend to notice early. Not by strategy - by focus. By caring where value begins.

This is where we track that moment.

Esther Castle has been awarded the New Blood Art Emerging Art Prize for her exceptional degree show work.

The New Blood Art Emerging Art Prize is about discovering and celebrating the most talented emerging artists from across the UK, regardless of their background or location. Established in 2023, the prize focuses on levelling the playing field for early-career artists, ensuring that creativity and talent take precedence over geography, privilege, or access to opportunities.

In this section I’ve curated some pairings and small groupings.. considering how their relationship together creates cohesion and communication.

“Thanks to New Blood Art for its suggestions on where to buy affordable art in Elle Decoration. My suggested No1 place to start? Them!” - Michelle Ogundehin 

These collections have been shaped for different reasons—sometimes around a theme, a material, a movement, or a kind of attention.

There’s no single logic here. Just a series of curations—each holding something together for a reason, even if that reason is quiet.

This is where they live.

Capturing the robust interplay between the ascent and descent of life, the vitality that diminishes in a blaze, evoking a deeper contemplation of life’s cyclical essence.

Investing in emerging artists offers art collectors an exciting chance to discover fresh perspectives and potentially witness the rise of the next big names in the art world. Moreover, at New Blood Art, we specialise in curating a selection of exceptional emerging artists, making it easier for collectors like you to stay ahead of the curve.

Some fantastic interior designers have spoken in the press of their confidence in us, as a place to find original art. These include Fiona Barratt, internationally renowned designer of interiors, and Sophie Ashby (who mentioned us in Vogue). Studio Ashby is going from strength to strength, and is known for putting art at the centre of design projects.

We’ve spoken to artists about their journey of discovery with framing; a topic they unsurprisingly gave some great insight on. It’s also worth bearing in mind that framing a work increases its value. Using a framer you can trust is important, and we can give you recommendations..

Welcome to What Artists Like, an artist-led series, created and edited by Masters Artist Nicola Wiltshire that shines a fresh light on the New Blood Art collection. Featuring interviews with artists and curated collections, with each Guest Curator nominating the next.

"As the artist, being able to put a state of being, thinking or rethinking into a material process was the challenge. I think if it holds any weight, it is due to it’s authenticity. People relate to people. I create from my own emotion and experiences, but you will view them with your own". - Evie Mae

“The new blue paintings I made for New Blood are about a light blue I recently bought, old holland blue grey. It makes everything feel like it’s underwater. I had to play with it for a few weeks before the penny dropped on how to use it as I wanted.” - Charlotte Brisland

“I’ve found it hard to choose, there’s a lot of great work and interesting artists on the NBA site! It’s so important for artists to have this platform, to be able to start selling and get the confidence to continue. Thanks to Sarah, NBA and all the people who support us by buying art.” - Orlanda Broom
