10 years of Art & Hue

This month marks Art & Hue’s 10th birthday!

Ten years ago in 2014, the concept of Art & Hue was born and the 26th of July 2014 was the creation of the Art & Hue name and the registration of the website and social media profiles at Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

After several months of work researching archival cotton papers, creating artworks, testing prints, and building the website, Art & Hue went live on the 2nd of October 2014.

A decade has seemingly flown by very quickly during which time many new pop art collections have been launched, inspired by Mid-Century Modern style, film, television, royalty, sport, fashion, historical figures, architecture, travel, and more – mostly in-house “studio” art prints by Art & Hue but also official collaborations with studios including STUDIOCANAL & ITV, and institutions including Beano & Ashmolean.

Inspired by retro print techniques, the prints re-contextualise halftone images. Halftone is an age-old printing technique that uses dots of varying sizes to make up the final image (similar to pre-digital newspapers or comic books). When used in the art prints, they magically grant cult status to the subject and transform them into stylish pop art icons. Coincidentally, 2024 marks 155 years since the first ever halftone image appeared in print.

The response to the Art & Hue collections over 10 years has been phenomenal and it’s wonderful to know that there are Art & Hue prints in homes globally. It’s been fabulous to connect with art buyers, film and TV studios, stores, & press in appreciation of the various themes that inspire Art & Hue, such as Mid-century architecture, The Avengers, fashion, and music, as well as actors, actresses, & family members related to the subjects of the pop art collections.

Thanks to everyone who has supported Art & Hue over the past decade, from art buyers & online cheerleaders to press & studios.

It’s surprising to tot up all the previous pop art collections and realise that there have been 117 pop art collections to date since 2014, of which over 90 collections are currently available, totalling almost 690 individual prints.
Considering the prints are available in a choice of colours & sizes, that’s approximately 42,000 options, all printed to order.

Since 2014, Art & Hue has been invited to display a pop-up exhibition of The Avengers artwork at the BFI as part of an evening with Dame Diana Rigg; taken part in the School For Scoundrels screening with Janette Scott at the very Elstree hotel where the famous tennis scenes were filmed; exhibited the Thunderbirds prints at The Intercontinental O2 hotel as part of the Lady Penelope Afternoon Tea; kindly included in the amazing Mid-century Modern Living book by Mini Moderns; been nominated for a blog award; re-designed the award-winning interiors blog Mad About The House; had the privilege to meet Dame Diana Rigg (twice), Valerie Leon, Janette Scott, David Prowse, and others; corresponded with the lovely Jenny Hanley, Britt Ekland, & Avengers-stuntman Ray Austin; was part of the Beano offering during the Somerset House exhibition; and been invited to install a gallery display of Art & Hue pop art at the iconic Elstree Studios.

It’s always a thrill to see Art & Hue pop art on display in people’s homes so thank you to all art buyers who have shared images online of their prints.

There are too many people to thank for their support over the past 10 years (including all art buyers) but a special mention goes to Massimo at STUDIOCANAL, Morris at Elstree Studios, Graeme at Carry On Blogging, Dick Fiddy at the BFI, Frank Skinner, & Matthew at Total Film.
