The series is a contemporary evolution of Hirst’s iconic Spin Paintings, where the energy and vibrancy of the originals merge with the modern technology of machine learning algorithms.

A Banksy life-size painting of Love Is in the Air is coming up for auction this week.
Measuring 210 cm x 210 cm, and fully authenticated by Pest Control, this spray paint and oil on canvas is the largest version of the iconic image to ever appear on the market. It’s been tucked away in a prominent private collection until now, so it’s a huge moment for collectors and Banksy lovers.

With an estimate of £3,500,000 – £5,500,000 GBP, the piece is bound to be one of the highlights of Sotheby’s Modern & Contemporary Evening Auction on June 24th, and you can catch it on view at their London headquarters until tomorrow, 23 June.

The work arrives at a pivotal time for the Banksy market, where iconic pieces with strong authentication and exhibition history continue to pull in massive numbers. A similar canvas from the same series brought a whopping £9.2 million at Sotheby’s New York in 2021, setting a benchmark for the artist’s unique works and confirming Love Is in the Air as one of the defining images of 21st-century art.

The core meaning of Love Is in the Air is all about peaceful resistance and civil disobedience, and at this extraordinary scale, it gives an altogether different psychological and physical punch. Banksy stencilled the original large-scale mural in 2003 in Bethlehem, right after the West Bank wall went up, and later chose it as the cover image for his book Wall and Piece. That history, combined with the image’s endless reproduction across media and within protest culture, has cemented Love Is in the Air’s status as the definitive expression of Banksy’s political and aesthetic philosophy and of his remarkable ability to distil political complexity into a single image.

Will be keeping an eye on the results, stay tuned!

Fresh from the studio, Alex Russell Flint offers a fascinating look into the creative process and inspirations behind his latest painting, ▪️Raindance▪️

A continuation of his 2025 ‘Still, she moves’ series, a collection ARF describes as a creative “palate cleanser” between his more loaded, narrative works, Raindance shifts the focus to the curious, abstract shapes made by the model in motion, combining contrasting colours with a balance of elegance and absurdity.

The spark for the series came from a single item of clothing: a vivid, furry magenta dress reminiscent of a Jim Henson creature. Worn by Flint’s dancer friend and model, its shaggy, exaggerated form transformed as she moved, becoming by turns an ostrich, a sloth, an ape, or some other curious creature entirely.

The seed for this particular painting may have been sown back in the 1990s, when Alex first visited the American Museum of Natural History and fell in love with its natural-habitat dioramas: frozen moments preserved behind glass, somewhere between science, artifice and memory.

Raindance conjures a strange specimen, part ceremonial figure, part exotic bird displayed in a vitrine, hovering beautifully between human subject and museum curiosity.

David Hockney (1937–2026)

It’s hard to imagine a world without David Hockney in it, but one thing is certain: it’ll be a far dimmer place.

With his bleach-blond hair, thick round spectacles and a cigarette dangling from his lip, Hockney spent over six decades not just painting the world, but teaching us how to look at it. From the sun-drenched hedonism of 1960s LA pools to his hyper-saturated landscapes, few artists understood colour more instinctively.
Some mistook his work for light entertainment because it’s pleasurable, but don’t be fooled; Hockney was a radical formalist masquerading as a crowd-pleaser. He was obsessed with how a flat surface could hold a three-dimensional soul. Whether using a brush, a fax machine, or an iPad, he proved that pleasure is a serious aesthetic category.

He lived exactly as he painted: filled with light, fiercely independent, and endlessly curious.

Our dear Hockney, the world won’t be nearly as colourful without you in it. Thank you for making it a more radiant place, and for bringing so much life to our lives, and most importantly, for challenging us to look harder and slower. Rest in peace. You’ll be immensely missed.

“I live now. It’s always now.”
David Hockney

Lockdown London, immortalised.

Julian Opie’s Old Street December 10, 2020 is part of a rare batch of works created at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

These are unique paintings created using silkscreen on painted wooden board. The result is a tactile, slightly raised surface that gives them a real sense of depth and presence, in contrast to the flat digital sheen of Opie’s other works.

Using solid blocks of deep navy, forest greens, and dark winter tones, all framed by his signature heavy black outlines, Opie perfectly captures a bizarrely quiet moment in London’s history. It’s a powerful time capsule of a moment we all lived through.
What do you think? Does this winter lockdown vibe bring back memories of that strange time for you? Let us know in the comments.
