Howard Hodgkin, renowned for his vibrant and expressive use of colour, created deeply emotive works that blurred the line between abstraction and representation. His pieces capture fleeting moments and moods through bold, gestural brushstrokes. Francis Bacon, one of the most influential painters of the 20th century, is best known for his raw, unsettling portraits that delve into themes of existentialism and human vulnerability. His works remain highly sought after by collectors worldwide.

Patrick Proctor, a master of contemporary figurative painting, brought a distinctive, refined aesthetic to his compositions, often featuring elegant figures and exotic landscapes with a strong sense of design. Meanwhile, Damien Hirst, one of the most controversial and commercially successful artists of his generation, continues to challenge perceptions of art through his provocative and conceptual works, spanning from iconic spot paintings to striking installations.
