"This Sound Sounded Merry", Dr. Seuss, 2013
Dearest Addictees,
As we wrap up 2024 with a flourish, we’re here to deliver a giant, glittery THANK YOU for being the heartbeat of the Addicted Art Gallery family. This year has been a kaleidoscope of colour, creativity, and (let’s be real) a sprinkle of chaos—but isn’t that the spice of life?
We’ve had the honour of showcasing jaw-dropping works from artists who managed to impress even the most jaded of art addicts (and let’s just say, we’re a tough crowd). Also, your enthusiasm for our vintage posters has been nothing short of electric. It’s official: the ‘80s are having a renaissance, and it’s all thanks to you. Now, who’s with us in bringing back A Flock Of Seagulls’ hair? If F1 driver Valtteri Bottas can do it with the mullet, surely anything’s possible!
But more than that, you made this year personal. From hunting down the perfect piece to grace your walls to those wonderfully quirky conversations about art, life, and the universe… you’ve reminded us why we’re addicted to what we do.
As we bid adieu to 2024, here’s a thought to ponder: art isn’t just what you hang on your walls. It’s in the laughter, the memories, the shared moments, and even in that culinary masterpiece-turned-charcoal that graces your holiday table (we’re all human, after all). Thank you for letting us be part of your colourful, messy, wonderful story this year.
As Brenda Lee famously sang:
"Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some f***ing pie
And we'll do some carolling"
...once you hear it, you can’t un-hear it!
So from all of us at Addicted Art Gallery, eat that f***ing pie, sing those carols and have a fabulous festive season 🎄🎄🎄
Here’s to making 2025 as vibrant and inspiring as the art we live for.
Cheers to you!
Until the next masterpiece...
