SHEFFIELD.
It’s our home, it’s our passion and so it’s often featured in the artwork we produce with our collaborators.
We wanted to be able to show these all off in one place, to see how the city we are proud of is portrayed through different lenses and different visions. We will keep adding to this page as our cataloging of the city continues.

Kenneth Steel
As featured on it’s own collection page we have recently highlighted these two prints we produced with permission of the artists family. The pieces show the well known Moore Street electricity substation from both the front and the back. Reproducing these in our screen printing studio we added colour to the depictions of the Brutalist building.
Blink
This series of prints depicted a number of visually interesting buildings around Sheffield, now gone. The “Ghosts of Gone Buildings” includes the iconic Hole in the Road which was filled in in the mid 90s and the controversial Egg Box building which used to stand by the town hall., among others.
Jo Peel
Both a Sheffield born and bred artist and a Sheffield depiction here.
Although hailing from Sheffield, Jo’s street art can be seen around the world, with huge street murals in her signature, distinctive style. Usually capturing buildings and streets going about their day-to-day lives, the intricacy of details combined with distinctive blue’s and oranges make Jo’s work easy to spot.
In this piece Jo captures the Rude Shipyard, a local hub of activity for the few years it existed on Abbeydale Road, with music, poetry, books and cakes.
This piece comes custom float framed, with a deep rebate, in a hardwood ash moulding, hand-finished with English Walnut.
Jim Spendlove
Moving into the city centre now to the iconic Lyceum Theatre, envisioned here by Jim Spendlove - another Sheffield illustrator - in a state of being lovingly restored by nature.
Jim often depicts aspects of nature emerging from places you wouldn’t expect, creating a balance between the natural world and the man-made.
The colours in this piece are bold, so the framing options we offer are likewise; this can be displayed in the green colour to bring out the natural element of the piece, or a red frame to complement the features of the building. And if you can’t decided which side you’re on, we have black or white options to let the colours of the artwork speak for itself.
Another APG original, this poster for the Folk Forest stage of Tramlines festival, nestled in a corner of Endcliffe park, is a piece that brings together two passions of the APG family: nature and music.
