Here is some brief information about celtic art from wikipedia:
Celtic art is art associated with various peoples known as Celts speaking the Celtic languages in Europe from pre-history through to the medieval period and beyond, as well as art of ancient peoples whose language is unknown, but where cultural and stylistic similarities lead to believe they are related to Celts. Also related is the Celtic revival art from the 18th century to the modern era, which began as a conscious effort by Modern Celts to express self-identification and nationalism.
Celtic art is ornamental, avoiding straight lines and only occasionally using symmetry, without the imitation of nature or ideal of beauty central to the classical tradition, but as far as we can understand it often involves complex symbolism. It includes a variety of styles and often incorporates subtly modified elements from other cultures, an example being the characteristic over-and-under interlacing — knotwork — which only arrived in the 6th century when it was already in extensive use by neighboring Germanic peoples.
There are three "traditions" of Celtic art, the first being the continental Iron age art mainly associated with La Tène culture which draws on native, classical and (perhaps via the Mediterranean) oriental sources. The second, Iron Age art in Britain and Ireland, draws on the continental tradition while adding distinctive regional styles. The third, the Celtic "renaissance" of the early Middle Ages in Ireland and parts of Britain, is also called Insular art. This third tradition formed the basis for art of the Celtic revival beginning in the late 19th century.It is extremely beautiful in writing, pictures or sculptures.

And now onto the art...








(couldn't find any category into which this would properly fit so I just had to go with artisan as I suppose that's where most of the featured deviations are from)
