The In Real Life Series

The In Real Life collection explores our relationship with the natural world at a time when much of modern life is lived through screens. Combining vibrant wildlife imagery with bold typography, the series serves as a reminder to appreciate the beauty that exists beyond our devices.

The artworks celebrate simple moments and everyday encounters with nature, encouraging us to reconnect with the world around us.

In Real Life: Horse

Featuring a powerful equine portrait, In Real Life: Horse combines the majesty of one of nature's most iconic animals with Dave Buonaguidi's unmistakable typographic approach.

The result is an artwork that feels both uplifting and contemplative, inviting viewers to slow down and appreciate the beauty that exists beyond the digital world.

As a one-off Artist Proof, this piece represents a unique opportunity for collectors seeking an original example from the In Real Life series.

In Real Life: Butterflies

Butterflies have long symbolised transformation, growth, and renewal. In this striking composition, colourful butterfly imagery is paired with bold typography to create an artwork that feels optimistic and full of energy.

The contrast between delicate natural forms and impactful text perfectly captures the visual language that has made Dave Buonaguidi's work so instantly recognisable.

In Real Life: Frogs

Playful yet thought-provoking, In Real Life: Frogs celebrates the overlooked beauty of the natural world.

The vibrant imagery and confident typography work together to create a piece that immediately draws attention while rewarding closer inspection. Like much of Dave Buonaguidi's work, it balances humour and meaning in equal measure.

For collectors of Real Hackney Dave artwork, this unique Artist Proof offers the chance to acquire something genuinely special.

Why Collect Artist Proofs?

Artist Proofs occupy a special place in the printmaking world. Traditionally created alongside an edition for the artist's own collection, they are often produced in extremely limited numbers and are highly valued by collectors.

When an Artist Proof is released as a unique, one-off work, its rarity increases even further. Unlike standard editions, once these pieces are sold, they are unlikely to be reproduced.

For collectors of Dave Buonaguidi prints, Artist Proofs provide an opportunity to own a particularly exclusive example of his work.
