Prepare to be captivated by a wave of fresh artistic talent.

Everyone Will be Talking About These 11 Emerging Artists in 2024

Prepare to be captivated by a wave of fresh artistic talent.

Discovering a new artist can feel a little bit like falling in love.

Whether you’re hanging a framed print in your first ‘grown up’ apartment, furnishing your dream kitchen with artist-designed serveware, or investing in a painting you’ll cherish for years to come, artworks are among the more sentimental purchases of our lives. Unlike couches or benchtops – or even bed linen – art is one of the rare things we buy entirely for its beauty.

That’s why, at Bed Threads, we love discovering new and emerging artists who are making waves around the world. Who, through colour, shape, form and texture, make us feel something, and bring the spaces they decorate to life.

If you’re looking for something to adorn your walls, hunting for a gift for a friend, or just love to support emerging and talented young artists, these brilliant creatives should be on your watch list.

Brigitte Grant

Australian painter Brigette Grant will have you dreaming of a sun-drenched summer in Italy. Many of her vibrant vignettes depict images of lemon trees, decorative pottery, seafood plates, and summer tipples, transporting you straight to a coastal European town. Her work ranges from fun, affordable prints (including a collaboration with Bed Threads) to one-of-a-kind textured paintings, all infused with a holiday spirit that inspires La Dolce Vita, wherever you might be.

Liv & Dom

What’s better than one incredible young artist? Two of them. Twin sisters, business partners and housemates Liv & Dom Cave-Sutherland make gorgeous ceramics from their cottagecore studio in East Sussex, England. Their work features the nude female form in a playful and joyous way, on everything from plates to vases to incense holders. Their fresh yet timeless aesthetic has built them a devoted following over the past few years… we can’t wait to see what this duo do next!

Gabrielle Diamantis

Working from a dreamy beachside studio on Australia’s Sunshine Coast, painter Gabrielle Diamantis creates lively works that celebrate sun-kissed Australian summers. Equal parts modern and nostalgic, her work evokes memories of hot feet and cold icy-poles, faded deck chairs in the sun. If her current work is anything to go by, we just know she has an incredible future ahead of her.

Idda Studio

New York-based artist, textile designer and ceramicist Gabriella Picone is certainly one to watch. After studying at the Rhode Island School of Design and working in some of the world’s most famous art galleries including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), Gabriella founded her own business, Idda Studio, where she creates breathtaking paintings, ceramics and textiles. “With Idda Studio, I wanted to bring the unique handmade quality of painting to functional objects for the home," she shared with Bed Threads Journal last year. Inspired by her Sicilian roots and the women in her family, Gabriella’s work is an ode to colour, joy and the beauty of the female form.

Gemma Bamforth

Artist and designer Gemma Bamforth says she’s still fine-tuning her style, and frankly, we’re here for it. From pared-back line drawings to intricate paintings, Gemma’s range as an artist is part of what makes her so talented. In her career so far, Gemma has worked with some world-class clients including the ultra-chic bakery Crema, the coveted restaurant Heather Bar, and, of course, Bed Threads. The recent Bed Threads x Gemma Bamforth plate collection is what serveware dreams are made of.

Adrianne Dimitrakakis

If you're looking to enliven your space with some vibrant summer energy, the work of Byron Bay-based artist Adrianne Dimitrakakis will deliver in spades. Her texture-filled paintings are inspired by alluring locations around the world, from Santorini to Tulum, and have been injected with a retro aesthetic.

Clara Adolphs

Inspired by vintage photographs and newspapers, the work of Sydney artist Clara Adolphs is something special. She paints leisurely scenes – a young woman lazing on the grass, a picnic, a swim – in striking retro tones that feel both nostalgic and decidedly ‘now’. If you’re looking to get your hands on one of her coveted works, be sure to keep an eye out – her paintings sell fast!

Adam Leng

Yugambeh artist Adam Leng is incredibly cool. His paintings – large, earthy-toned abstracts – represent his connection to self and cultural heritage, and would bring to life even the most lacklustre home. You’d never guess he’s only been painting for a year! Represented by Northern Beaches Gallery Hake House, Adam has had a huge year of success, and lucky for us, his career is only just beginning.

Nicci Bedson

Design and architecture lovers will swoon over Nicci Bedson’s artworks. Her small-scale, acrylic paintings are inspired by her immediate surroundings, and regularly depict Australian suburban houses, backyards, interiors and chairs. But don’t let that turn you off! Her expert use of colour and playful interpretation of suburban life is so charming, you’ll want a Nicci Bedson in every room.

Holly Sanders

Aboriginal artist Holly Sanders' intricate paintings are anything but boring. Working from Jerrinja Yuin Country on the NSW South Coast of Australia, Holly describes her work as representing a ‘modern interpretation of her Aboriginal culture’. With a rich, earthy palette and intricate detail, Holly’s paintings and prints remind us of the symbiotic relationship between humans and nature.

Emily Heath

Sydney-based painter Emily Heath creates works that capture the beauty of everyday moments. Whether it's a bowl of grapes or a vase on a table, her captivating still life scenes are energetic and richly layered, transforming the mundane into something beautiful.
