Hello all ❤️

This week, I had the wonderful opportunity of announcing the winner of the 2026 LOEWE FOUNDATION Craft Prize on Artists Pages.

In my mission to make art more accessible to all, I was thrilled to bridge the gap between the fine art world and our community of art lovers everywhere.

Watch now on Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube.

Art Prompt

Like Evgenia Voinar, extract a symbol or visual from a 2D piece of work and bring it to life in the 3D plane; create a piece of art that can hide in plain sight, to surprise, intrigue, and sit alongside viewers in the room, off the wall.

See you next Sunday 👋

Thank you so much.

Hello all,

I’m happy to find you here again!

This week on Artists Pages, I featured Matt McCreary, who brings random public spaces to life with movement. And Chantal Bourque, who paints portraits of trees. Catch up on Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube.

For our newsletter, I have curated a wide selection: pencil drawings so sharp I had to investigate their realness, multi-media pieces exploring love and connection, and paintings to get lost in.

Let me know what pieces struck you in the comments. If you have had creative discoveries of your own this week, share an anecdote or two ❤️

Art Prompt

Inspired by Inès Longevial: create a piece that is made across multiple pieces of your chosen medium, whether that’s canvas, paper, wood or something else. Challenge yourself to create a piece of work that feels whole, only using parts.

See you next Sunday 👋

Thank you so much.

Hello all ❤️

I hope this week has been an inspiring one.

On Artists Pages this week, I featured Daisy Billowes, who imbues emotion in her abstract paintings. Felipe Tenorio, who creates life on paper with his hyperreal studies of flowers. And Pim Palsgraaf, whose sculptures defy modern architecture.

Catch up on Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube.

Art Prompt

Inspired by the cyanotype collage by Ramona Zordini: create a piece of work, then rip it up, re-create it, layer it; create a collage that tells more than one story in your style.

See you next Sunday 👋

Thank you so much!

Hello all ❤️

I hope I’m finding you creatively fueled.

It’s official, we’re back on Substack!

I hope you notice very little change. However, it’s now easier for you to chat to me in the comments, which I have missed, and I would love to hear from you.

This week on Artists Pages, I featured the work of artist and silversmith Nicole, creating minuscule creatures in silver. And Heather Clements, who creates interactive pop-up paintings on paper.

Catch up on Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube.

Art Prompt

Inspired by Vanilla Chateau’s “Angel Cake”, draw on an unusual surface. Use this opportunity to create a unique patchwork-style artwork.

See you next Sunday 👋

Hello all ❤️

I hope you have had a creative week.

This week on Artists Pages, I featured the work of Hilel, whose ceramic coffee drippers each create a new world in clay. Maraden, who is known for his blood red and jet black tattoos. And, Michael Jones, who creates art from wood with a chainsaw.

Catch up on Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube.

Just a heads up, I'm changing the software I use to send this newsletter, from Ghost to Substack. If you've been here a while, you'll remember I started on Substack 82 weeks ago! You don't need to do anything; I just wanted to mention this, as you might notice a subtle visual difference in the display.

Art Prompt

Sous les pétales, Magnolia, and Spring at last, all show flowers as symbols in a unique light, evoking an array of emotions. This week, get inspired by flowers. How does seeing the contrast used in these pieces affect the way you use and portray emotions through flowers?

See you next Sunday 👋

Thank you so much!

Hello all ❤️

I hope you have had a creative week.

Before I share my finds, I wanted to draw attention to an important initiative we are supporting: Secret 7" from War Child.

Secret 7” takes seven tracks from some of the world’s best-known musicians, which this year comprise John Lennon, The Last Dinner Party, Gabrielle, The Maccabees, Skin, Glass Animals, and Bastille.

Each track is pressed 100 times onto vinyl, creating 700 limited-edition 7” records. Each sleeve features a unique artwork submitted by you.

Your artwork is your interpretation of the song. Feel free to experiment with mediums and unconventional notions of what a record sleeve can be.

Once printed, all 700 sleeves are exhibited at a free exhibition and available to acquire through an online auction, raising funds that will change the lives of children affected by conflict. The artists’ identities and the track inside? A mystery until the record is in the hands of the buyer.

Full information on how to submit your design for this year’s edition is here.

Submit your artwork by 1st June 2026.

Art Prompt

Inspired by Apolo, create an artwork using only black and white. If this is something you already do regularly, then pick two other opposing colours to work with. How does limiting your colour palette affect the feel and creation of your work?

Hello all ❤️

It's been a quiet week on Artists Pages, as I've taken a brief pause to focus on a few projects and search for incredible artists.

If you missed it, I shared a new video on YouTube, Art Toys: Japanese Culture, Overconsumption, and Defining Artists.

Art Prompt

For many, sketchbooks are a space for experimentation, where ideas remain unfinished and rarely seen as final works. But this week, shift that perspective. However you plan, curate, or create within your sketchbook, let what would usually be considered incomplete become your finished piece. What changes when you begin to see the beauty in your unfinished ideas?

See you next Sunday 👋

Thank you so much!

Hello all ❤️

I sincerely thank all of you who shared endorsements for the book I am writing. I know your support will make all the difference in helping publishers understand why a book celebrating living artists is so needed. I will keep you all up to date on any book-related updates. If you would like to contribute an endorsement, it takes 5 minutes or less, and you can do so here.

I just shared a new YouTube video!

It asks: why are we so obsessed with art toys? I dive into the world of designer toys and collectables, exploring their history, culture, and the communities around them.

From early Japanese folk toys to ’90s pioneers, the Lowbrow art movement, consumerism and the Lipstick Effect, through to contemporary artists today.

Every designer toy craze gets unpacked, from KAWS to Superplastic, to Smiskis, Sonny Angel, and the infamous Labubu.

WATCH ON YOUTUBE

This week's curation celebrates some of the incredible emerging artists I discovered who are creating art toys today, often by hand.

Art Prompt

This week's newsletter is focusing on art toys. To embrace this, our prompt to you is to design and or create your own art toy. As you can see from the examples, there are endless mediums and outcomes that let the artists authenticity shine through. Give your character a name, a back story and an aesthetic. What does your art toy look like?

See you next Sunday 👋

Thank you so much!

Imi, Founder of Artists Pages.

Hello all ❤️

I have a favour to ask…

I’m developing a book, and I need your help!

It will bring together the stories of living artists, much like the videos and newsletters I share, but in a lasting, printed form.

In an age of artificial creativity, it aims to spotlight real artists and inspire a new generation of creators and collectors.

I’m gathering short endorsements (just a sentence or two) to show publishers why a book like this matters. If you’ve enjoyed this newsletter or my videos, I’d be so grateful if you’d consider contributing one 🤞

I have created a short form you can complete to submit your endorsement. I am so excited to make this happen with you!

ENDORSE THE ARTISTS PAGES BOOK

Art Prompt

Inspired by Jono Brown’s School Nights painting, create something inspired by a memory from your past. This can be from your childhood or something that brings a strong sense of nostalgia, a smell, a meal, a job or a friend. Create an artwork that reflects your sense of nostalgia. How can you best inject it into a creative project?

See you next Sunday 👋

Thank you so much!

Imi, Founder of Artists Pages.

Hello all ❤️

I hope creativity has felt bountiful for you this week, as we meet again to seek inspiration from living artists.

On Artists Pages this week, I featured Karen Cheok, whose paintings become sculptures on canvas, and Ruta Karecke, who uses a ceramic slip trailer to explore pointillism.

If you're looking for some inspiration this weekend, I particularly enjoyed the latest episode of Fashion Neurosis featuring designers Hannah Rose Dalton and Steven Raj. It was wonderful to hear them speak on self-expression and their lives together as artists. Their energy has stayed with me.

I have another long video coming to YouTube next week, on the topic of Art Toys, and why we are so obsessed with them.

Art Prompt

In Coby Zutt’s Starboy digital painting, the character has an exaggerated silhouette. This week, maximalism is our theme. Whatever the project, take it to the extreme. More metallic, more colour, more anything. What feels better when taken to the extreme?

See you next Sunday 👋

Thank you so much!

Hello all ❤️

It's been an exciting week.

1.5 years after starting Artists Pages, I got to curate an art fair in London! This week, The Other Art Fair opened at London's Truman Brewery, featuring the work of over 175 independent artists (some selected by me).

Big thanks to everyone who visited, and thank you to all of you who watch/read Artists Pages. It was so gratifying to be in the room with these incredible artists. I hope this is the first of many chances to curate in spaces like this and bring the Artists Pages community together in person.

On Artists Pages this week, I featured Tamsin Levene, who sculpts ceramic pots that crackle. And Amanda Meyer, who created fabric with autumn leaves.

Catch up on Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube.

Art Prompt

Inspired by Shishi's textile vase, make the textures within your project abstract and different to how that form is usually perceived. Whether it's with food, fashion, or even the medium, what could create more depth and shine something in a different light?

See you next Sunday 👋

Thank you so much!

Imi, Founder of Artists Pages.

Hello all ❤️

I have reduced tickets to share with you for The Other Art Fair in London, running from 5-8 March! Taking place at the iconic Truman Brewery, there will be over 175 independent artists exhibiting.

I'm proud to be on the selection committee for this edition, so if you would like to come along to see all the art on display, as well as enjoying the bar, art-themed ping pong, and many other fun surprises, please do.

If you go, please snap a story and tag Artists Pages. I'd love to see! 🫶

On Artists Pages this week, I featured Kazuya Ishikawa who has built the maze he walks in lucid dreams. And, MSCHF, the art collective that just released a crescendo of 20,000 paper planes in a gallery in New York to mark the Lunar New Year.

Catch up on Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube.

Art Prompt

This week we were inspired by Izzy Sayers incredible crocheted Praying Mantis head. Whether it’s in writing, painting or a physical form, create a piece that combines the human form with a completely different structure. This could be interpreted as a physical metamorphosis like Mantis Girl, something spiritual or something completely mythical. What structures, compositions and changes work well with the human form and what amalgamations can you create?

Hello all ❤️

Big appreciation to the 3000+ of you who have watched my latest video essay, Is Land Art Beautiful, or Is It Problematic?

I'm already working on the next one, diving deep into the world of art toys.

This week on Artists Pages, I featured the work of Filip Custic, who creates living installations. Piers Phillips, who composes paintings with individual marks. Tom Beton, whose concrete sculptures echo brutalist architecture and mid-century modernism.

Catch up on Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube.

Art Prompt

Inspired by Vittorio Valiante’s portrait, this week, get up close and personal with whatever your subject is. Rather than painting, drawing, animating, or writing about the whole subject, zoom into a small section and focus on that. How does this translate differently?

See you next Sunday 👋

Thank you so much!

Imi, Founder of Artists Pages.

Hello all ❤️

In case you missed it, my new video on YouTube Is Land Art Beautiful, or Is It Problematic? is out now. Thanks to everyone who has watched, liked, and commented, it makes such a difference!

This week on Artists Pages, I featured the work of Giulio Massimo Gallana, who created a field of snow flowers. Dan Ortiz Leizman, who turned plastic chairs into instruments. And, Casey Curran, who creates kinetic clothes that move with you.

Catch up on Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube.

Here are this weeks inspirations. It seems the world of sculpture was calling to me, and I found some beautiful films too.

Art Prompt

Inspired by Stephanie’s oven sculpture, use a household object as your subject. From creating a still life, animation or even a poem, find something in your home and use it to create your next piece of work.

Hello all ❤️

I hope this week has been a creative one.

I’m so pleased to share my latest video essay on YouTube, a complete overview of Land Art, asking the question: is land art beautiful, or is it problematic?

Land art has a complicated history, fraught with controversy, yet it’s also responsible for some of the most beautiful and ambitious artworks ever made.

In this video essay, I trace the movement from its emergence in the 1960s, then step back further to its early precursors, to understand how we got here.

I unpack land art’s close relationship with the early environmental movement and Indigenous rights, and the debates and criticisms that have followed it.

Throughout, I spotlight the artists that have emerged in every decade, closing with an overview of the contemporary artists who are still working with the land today.

Art Prompt

Inspired by Arch Budzar’s cow animation, pick a quote and use it as inspiration for a creative project. You could create your own quote or use a pre-existing one, but allow it to guide your process in whatever medium you use.

Hello all ❤️

This week on Artists Pages, I highlighted Lachlan Turczan, the artist blending water, light, and sound to create entrancing sculptures you can step inside. And, Frisbie, who is creating his own city by sewing together thrifted jeans and fabric scraps.

I've been working on my next YouTube video, diving into the topic of Land Art. I'll be discussing its fascinating (and often problematic) history and the land artists of today. I'll share it with you next week!

If you're into longer videos from me, you can catch the latest one here.

Once again, thank you for joining me each week. It's such a pleasure to enjoy art with you all. Here are my recent discoveries.

Art Prompt

Inspired by Cyrielle Gulacsy’s The Last Visible Light Series, create a piece of work that evolves over a period of time. Document the details of what, how and why something changes. What feelings does this work evoke and what unseen beauty becomes apparent when exploring something over a certain duration.

See you next Sunday 👋

Thank you so much!

Imi, Founder of Artists Pages.

Hello all ❤️

This week on Artists Pages, I highlighted Andy Goldsworthy, the land artist using stone, leaves, grass, snow and a plethora of other earth materials to create sculptural artworks on the landscape. And, Kleinian, who prints digital fossils on rocks.

Here are this week's discoveries.

Create high-quality, affordable prints that last.

Our newest print release, Cloudy Afternoon by Derek Macara, is still available for a limited time, which we run with the help of Gelato — a platform that makes high-quality print-on-demand genuinely accessible to all creatives.

Prints are such a good way for your community to own your art without the cost of an original, and the quality here really does hold its own. Gelato prints on museum-quality, sustainable, acid-free paper, so every brushstroke is captured with detail and your print stays beautiful over time.

If you’re an artist looking to create your own calendar, prints, or products in 2026, Gelato is free to join, and they’re halving the cost of your first sample order.

TRY GELATO

Art Prompt

Inspired by Noah Buchanan’s portrait, use light to transform and alter a project. Whether this is using it literally to enhance a photograph or painting or as a theme for a poem or piece of writing. Focus on highlights and shadows and experiment with this in ways you haven’t tried before.

See you next Sunday 👋

Thank you so much!

Imi, Founder of Artists Pages.

Hello all ❤️

This week on the Artists Pages channels, I showcased artists I discovered at The Other Art Fair last October. I also highlighted Chris Oh, who you might recognise from my recent YouTube video, and Dasha Plesen — an all-time favourite with our community, known for cultivating mould sculptures.

Catch up on Instagram, YouTube, or TikTok!

Easily sell high-quality prints in multiple sizes.

We’re so excited to share our newest print release: Cloudy Afternoon by Derek Macara — a peaceful, horizon-spanning oil painting where the sea melts into the clouds.

On our print store (powered by Gelato), we’re offering this piece in four sizes so you can choose whatever size fits your space and budget. Gelato makes the whole process incredibly seamless for us — from connecting everything to Shopify, to managing orders behind the scenes — and the print quality stays consistent across every size. Every luminous brushstroke carries through beautifully.

If you’re an artist thinking about selling your own prints or products in 2026, Gelato is free to join, and they’re currently offering 50% off your first sample order.

Create a piece of work that is an illusion. This week’s newsletter features artists who do just that: Esther Choi’s ceramic undershirt, Elizabeth Saloka’s jam jar, and Jacques Monneraud’s stone vase meticulously crafted to look like cardboard. These works aren’t quite what they seem, and it’s precisely this trickery that gives them such distinction.

I hope you are finding your rhythm in this new year. I want to thank all of you who watched my first YouTube video, which I shared last week. I'm already researching and writing the next one for later this month!

Capture intricate technique with true-to-life quality.

It's your last chance to buy Sarah’s limited edition print — a serene, thoughtful piece of koi fish circling lily pads, created from hundreds of tiny hand-cut pieces of paper. Her technique is so intricate and we managed to translate it faithfully.

We printed on museum-quality 250 GSM matte paper with Gelato, which captures every layer without losing the depth she creates in the original. Having access to that quality, without the upfront costs or storage stress, meant we could release a print we were genuinely proud of, without compromise. It was also so easy to make the print available in multiple sizes, and add to our Shopify store in one click.

If you’re curious about creating prints or products, Gelato is currently offering our readers a 50% saving on their first order.

Art Prompt

Inspired by Daisuke’s spherical fisheye paintings, create something continuous — a work with no true beginning or end. Let the start fold seamlessly into the finish, forming a perfect loop that appears to flow endlessly. This can take any form, from a poem to a painting, as an exploration of what it means for something to feel infinite.

Hello all ❤️

Happy New Year! I hope you had a lovely break. I spent some time resting, finding new inspiration, and finally made my first long-form YouTube video! In it, I share 15 artists I’ll be keeping a close eye on in 2026, all of whom you’ll recognise from this newsletter. I talk through their work, process, and journeys, hoping to offer you fresh inspiration to take into the new year.

Making meaningful projects possible, without upfront costs or shipping stress.

It might be the new year, but the Artist Pages Charity Calendar (powered by Gelato) is still available until February 28th, with all profits going to Arts Emergency, a brilliant charity that supports young creatives from underrepresented backgrounds with mentoring and real industry opportunities.

So far, we’ve raised thousands for their programmes, and honestly, we wouldn’t have been able to launch this so quickly without Gelato. With no upfront costs, no minimum orders, and no inventory to manage, they made it possible for us to create a meaningful product fast, and with genuinely beautiful print quality. Plus, everything’s produced locally, so it ships faster and cuts carbon emissions.

If you’re curious about creating prints or products, Gelato is currently offering our readers a 50% saving on their first order.

In a journal, list 5 pieces of creative work you discovered last year that offered inspiration.
