Jonny Hannah

Jonny Hannah Paintings, Original Prints and Books

Explore our carefully assembled collection of original artwork, limited-edition prints and illustrated books by British artist and illustrator Jonny Hannah. Acquired over more than fifteen years, the collection reflects Hannah’s highly distinctive visual language: a characterful combination of hand lettering, bold colour, narrative imagery, popular culture, music, maritime history and the traditions of British commercial and folk art.

Jonny Hannah is widely admired for work that bridges the worlds of fine art, illustration, printmaking and graphic design. His compositions often draw upon vintage shop signs, old advertisements, record sleeves, tattoo imagery, seaside towns, forgotten entertainers and imaginary businesses. The result is an instantly recognisable style that can be humorous, nostalgic, eccentric and richly detailed.

Our stock may include original paintings and mixed-media works, signed and limited-edition prints, artist-designed books, illustrated publications and other pieces connected with Hannah’s varied creative practice. Original works frequently combine paint, pencil, collage, typography and found or reclaimed materials, while his prints demonstrate his strong interest in traditional processes and the physical qualities of the printed image.

Each item is individually examined and catalogued by Hornseys at our gallery in Ripon, North Yorkshire. Our descriptions clearly identify the medium, dimensions, signature, edition details, condition and provenance wherever this information is available. Any notable marks, wear or characteristics arising from the artist’s choice of materials are recorded as part of our assessment.

Hornseys has dealt in books, prints, works of art and collectable material since 1976. Our Jonny Hannah collection has been developed gradually and selectively rather than assembled as a single recent acquisition. This long-term approach has enabled us to bring together works from different periods and areas of the artist’s career, including pieces that are now difficult to locate on the secondary market.

Whether purchased as a significant work of contemporary British illustration, an example of modern printmaking or simply for the pleasure of Hannah’s imaginative storytelling, each item is offered with detailed cataloguing and a 14-day unconditional guarantee. All works are securely packed, with free insured delivery within the United Kingdom and tracked international shipping available.
