    Sir Peter Blake's "iconic" Stanley Road album cover -


    My brother created quite a decent nod to it in the fanlight above the front door of his old place.

    Going to the match by Lowry, very simple but brilliant in my opinion 

    Lowry was a hugely talented artist, talent often overlooked because of the simplicity (almost childlike nature) of his most famous works. He did much more than matchstick men, of course.

    Head Of A Man With Red Eyes 1938 Art Print by LS Lowry King McGaw

    A bigger splash by David Hockney is a very pleasing piece

    I love Ansel Adams‘ work and have several prints. Unfortunately, I can’t afford an original!

    This artist has some very good pieces.
    My father in law commissioned some personal pieces from her, and he was very pleased with her work.

    Several by Giorgio de Chirico, this one is 'Mystery and Melancholy of a Street'.

    I'm always impressed by the six metre high Gypsy Cob Horse on a Belvedere roundabout. 

    Designed by Andy Scott (no not him) it represents the time they'd roam wild and free on Belvedere marshes - although the ones I remember always looked a bit moth eaten.

    Should’ve put ‘snowstorm’ by Turner . Genius.

    Anything Edward Hopper ever did. The insular loneliness of his subjects speaks to me and feels a way of portraying how it feels being a bit neurodiverse and/or depressed in a way I’ve never felt from any artist before. 
    Absolutely. Hopper was a wonderful painter, and captured so much of what he saw in a quiet but powerful way.

    I have this thing tattooed on my left arm. So I suppose I like it enough.

    "Nøkken" by Theodore Kittelsen.

    Genius is certainly not too strong a word to describe Turner - I would even use incomparable or without equal.
    He was in my opinion, and in many others' opinion of course, quite simply the greatest ever British artist, and is in the argument if including any other nationality.

    I found the concept art in the end credits of The Mandalorian really enjoyable. I would often pause the credits so I could study the art.

    I have it on good authority that the scenes are on the walls of the Disney offices in Holborn.

    Went to Monet exhibition in London few years ago, blown away by the scale of some of them

    "The Hay Wain" - simple view that I always find myself being immersed in.

    This is something else.  The detail is just incredible. The Arnolfini Portrait by Van Eyck

    Really like Andrew Scott... American artist who uses the frame and glass in a lot of his stuff, got a few of his pieces

    I 3D printed this  rare piece this morning for my Man United colleague. 
    I know it should be black and white stripes but I didn’t have enough time to muck around sorting it out. Before yesterday he wouldn’t have known where Grimsby is what league they play in or their colour of their shirts, he got what he was given.

    Earlier this month I saw a (re?)creation of Waterlilies in the Monet style by Ai Weiwei using 650,000 Lego pieces. It was brilliant.

    So so many. Louise Bourgeois' Maman springs to mind as a possible fave, but I could lose myself for hours staring at Eschers. 
    Agreed @Stig, Maman is an incredible piece. Saw it years ago outside Tate Modern, and last week I went to see it in a forest in Thailand countryside. Wonderful experience to see it surrounded by nature instead of a city/gallery setting.
