Corinna Button In a Dream, 2023 Collage, acrylic, graphite and oil on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About After completing a BA honours degree in painting, I pursued a printmaking postgraduate degree in the UK, where I am from. It was during this time that I was impacted by the German Expressionists, whose works, particularly in printmaking, left an indelible impression on me. I dedicated many subsequent years to developing my work in etching and other forms of printmaking. Today, printmaking continues to be a medium that intrigues me and is hugely influential in the way I approach my painting and sculpture. People are the subjects of my work and I am intrigued by moments that, despite initially appearing quite commonplace, are (for me) charged with great significance and meaning. My inspiration is drawn from experiences or predicaments I encounter in daily life, such as social gatherings, images from social media and words from a song or a poem. All these generate ideas for themes that I can build upon, "dress-up" and weave into my work. I compose figures either in groupings or as a single figure or just a face. My aim is not to create exact likenesses, but rather to create prototypical or archetypal figures whose personality or identity is both partly exposed and partly hidden beneath the surface. Everything about the way I work (both technique and subject) is motivated by the desire to reveal or "bring something to light." Thus, my process involves layering then scraping back, building then excavating; otherwise, peeling back layers to "carve out" and reveal something hidden beneath the surface.

Olivia Rose Durley Pink Dreams, 2023 Oil on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Olivia's work handles the two realities of paint; it's illusionistic spatiality and it's material presence. Her practice appropriates a balance between the fixed nature of photography and the timelessness of painting; photographic details are blurred within painterly brushstrokes and structures. The aberration of the two components creates an enigmatic, placeless experience within nature that on one hand forms a sense of familiarity and on the other, an unidentifiable discomfort. Olivia scrutinises the evolving colours and tones amplified through cloud formations, using her painting technique to highlight the fleeting transience of time and a feeling of nostalgia. She views the landscape as a latent oil painting continuously emerging and coming into being, fascinated by that precious, short space of time in which the sky bursts into colour before it is then submerged into dusk - a distant memory.

Frances Hatch Arws Light Rain Coast Guard Look Out Portland Bill Portland Dorset, 2023 Watercolour and cliff material on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About FRANCES HATCH ARWS (elected as a member of The Royal Watercolour Society in 2022) Frances Hatch maintains a spacious, reflective landscape practice. She grew up in the Fenland at the edge of The Wash in Cambridgeshire and describes herself as 'of' that place. Its black earth formed her as a plein air painter. Frances makes site-responsive work whilst on location. She integrates site materials with water-based media. She has travelled widely over the years to work in environments such as Antarctica, Norway, Finland, Guernsey and Scotland as well as in her own locality. Her artworks witness to a reciprocity between artist and place. The works become containers of shared experience. Her current studio is in Weymouth, Dorset. Along the Jurassic Coast, close to home, the geology offers generous earth palettes with a wide tonal and colour range. Indeed, each site suggests and offers a unique palette. She integrates commercial pigments (gouache, acrylic or watercolour) with locally available pigment. 'Sun, moon, tide, season animate reveal and conceal matter on the move particulate provisional a permanent impermanence.' It is pertinent that the two pieces hung in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition (2016) were placed in Gallery 1V described by its curator, Jock McFayden RA, as 'radical landscape'. At the invitation of Professor Simon Olding, Frances conceived and curated The Common Ground for The Crafts Study Centre at University College for the Arts Farnham in 2020. This integrated her curatorial skills with an interest in the written word. Education TRAINING: C.C.A.T.

Alexandra Rubinstein Bloody Cherries, 2023 Menses on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Alexandra Rubinstein is a Brooklyn-based conceptual artist whose practice focuses on how culture and gender affect power and narrative. She came to the United States from Russia when she was 9, and spent the magical years of puberty enduring the misogyny of both cultures. Through education, therapy, and self-help, she learned to identify her feelings and channel her rage and resentment into her work. In said work, she challenges dated social systems and prejudices, and reconstructs the cis heterosexual female experience by transforming women from passive objects into active consumers. Taking back power and control, without taking centuries of oppression too seriously. When she's not working, she can be found running around park, reading in the park, drinking near the park, and generally not leaving her neighbourhood.

Corrie Wingate The Gleaners, 2023 Ink on watercolour paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About As an artist, my background in travel photography has significantly influenced my artistic vision as a painter. By drawing inspiration from different environments and cultures I continue to work with both the constraints and the freedoms of figuration whilst also exploring the necessary tension inherent in working with chance or the unknown. Observational drawings and photographic imagery often serve as a foundation for creating figurative works that are rich with ambiguity, layers, and expressive mark-making. I apply abstract techniques to develop these works further, seeking to create paintings that offer a deeper emotional and psychological resonance beyond mere literal representation. My painting style is heavily influenced by the German expressionists who demonstrated the emotional impact of color on a viewer. My works often start with a single colour that dictates the tone and mood of the painting, which I then build upon. I also draw inspiration from the creative expression of children's artwork and the colour and light of Kenya, where I founded an art centre and live part time. Recurring themes of place, diaspora, and migration are central to my work. I am fascinated by the complex relationships between people and their environments, and how these relationships are shaped by history, culture, and identity. Whether through the use of colour, texture, or symbolism, I aim to create artworks that not only capture the essence of a place or a culture but also convey the emotions and experiences of the people who inhabit them.

Through these artworks, I aimed to showcase women in central roles and emphasise their valuable contributions to society. You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works.

Hannah Ludnow Seascape Series (1), 2023 Oil on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About The coastline of Cornwall is usually Hannah Ludnow's starting point, a place etched into the artist's memory having grown up near Falmouth Cornwall before moving to London to study art at University. Inspired by the amazing light, wide ever changing skies and beautiful dramatic coastlines, Hannah has always greatly admired the Cornish abstract expressionists Peter Lanyon, Patrick Heron and Ben Nicholson, whose work draws directly from experiences of nature's tempestuous or calm. Recently the artist has found herself looking at the work of Turner, influenced by his astute use of light. Hannah is inspired by the patterns nature creates: the force of the elements against the landscape, and the erosion against rock, sands, and man made objects as art form in itself. Hannah's work is very rarely an actual place, instead she starts with remembering a moment, and how that moment felt. Ludnow hopes to build an atmosphere in a painting, to draw you in, to imagine yourself there stood on a cliff, a beach or behind the dunes, exposed to the elements and the unpredictability of nature. the artist strives to capture a recollection of somewhere the viewer knows or remembers wherever in the world this may be. Her paintings are primarily about the light and the feelings a place can evoke in the viewer, the emotions that a memory of a place and time can stir within. A memory of thoughts and feelings within a landscape, often a special and private moment, where the vastness and beauty of the landscape around you brings a sense of perspective, clarity and calm .

Lisa Golightly Blue Sea and Man, 2023 Acrylic on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Lisa Golightly's artistic career began with photography. Her father was a painter, and though she grew up exposed to his practice, she discovered her appreciation for photography at an early age. However, while working on her Fine Art Photography and Photojournalism BFA, she found her way back to painting, developing an artistic practice which marries a deep technical and theoretical understanding of photography with painting. "As straightforward as it may sound, I have fallen in love with the brush, the color, the intimate experience of painting and creating my own world." Today, Lisa's artistic practice still begins with photography. She first scours the internet and estate sales for bundles of anonymous old photography and film. Then, she reframes, rebuilds and reimagines existing subjects of these forgotten photos in the terms of her own memory. She exaggerates light and color in a way that recalls old film photography, painting in pastel, washed out palettes that mimic overexposed film. Working with acrylic, and painting in a distinct painterly style, she references impressionism, pointillism, as well as the oeuvre of Fairfield Porter and Lois Dodd to create paintings that are both anonymous and inherently personal in nature. Lisa's work straddles the line between the familiar and the anonymous, creating an uncanny gray area in which we can all find some part of ourselves, our history or our memory. Lisa further explores the relations between memory, physical distance and the passage of time in this body of work. These paintings are more an exploration of memory than a visual reproduction of film photography. They are a bricolage of truth, interpretation and memory that capture the act of suspending time and the innate flaws in doing so. These works also explore the sense of collective memory, and the universal nature of human experience. Lisa comments that when procuring old photographs, "Strangely, a lot of times it's like 'Oh that could have been my family.' It's fascinating how a lot of images are something we all have, certain things, times or places that we all document similarly." Born in Eugene, Oregon, Lisa Golightly studied at the University of Arizona where she received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fine Art Photography and Photojournalism in 1996. Solo exhibitions include Marking Time, George Billis Gallery, Los Angeles, CA (2020), Linda Hodges Gallery, Seattle, WA (2020), Recent paintings, Clove and Creek, Kingston, New York (2018), If Only For A Little While, Good Eye Gallery, Los Angeles CA (2016), and more. Her work has been reviewed in Paper Magazine, Luxe Interior and Designs, The Huffington Post, and The Wall Street Journal. She has participated in art fairs including the Venice Art Walk in Venice Beach, California. Her art was selected for a promotional campaign in London, England in celebration of International Women's Day. She was also chosen to produce an album cover and interior art for musician Alec Lytle.

Alice Miller A Window To The World or The World Itself, 2023 Oil and Acrylic on watercolour paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Both secretive and sincere, Alice Miller's small figurative paintings sit somewhere between glowing coals and neon lights. Working directly from phone photographs, she draws parallels between the hedonism of the nighttime social scene and ideas of religion. We edge into the scenes, unsure if we are friend, guest, spectator or voyeur.

Emma Turpin Buildings, 2023 Mixed Media on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About In recent years, Emma Turpin has been exploring the notion of shelter in landscape. There are structures hidden in forests, and there are others that have almost become part of the landscape with trees bursting from inside them. In other works we see nothing built or man-made but rather shelter suggested by an area of light emerging through a tangle of branches. Emma uses these familiar natural forms to try and find a harmonious resolution between colour and form.

Corinna Button Now It's My Turn IV, 2023 Oil and mixed media on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About After completing a BA honours degree in painting, I pursued a printmaking postgraduate degree in the UK, where I am from. It was during this time that I was impacted by the German Expressionists, whose works, particularly in printmaking, left an indelible impression on me. I dedicated many subsequent years to developing my work in etching and other forms of printmaking. Today, printmaking continues to be a medium that intrigues me and is hugely influential in the way I approach my painting and sculpture. People are the subjects of my work and I am intrigued by moments that, despite initially appearing quite commonplace, are (for me) charged with great significance and meaning. My inspiration is drawn from experiences or predicaments I encounter in daily life, such as social gatherings, images from social media and words from a song or a poem. All these generate ideas for themes that I can build upon, "dress-up" and weave into my work. I compose figures either in groupings or as a single figure or just a face. My aim is not to create exact likenesses, but rather to create prototypical or archetypal figures whose personality or identity is both partly exposed and partly hidden beneath the surface. Everything about the way I work (both technique and subject) is motivated by the desire to reveal or "bring something to light." Thus, my process involves layering then scraping back, building then excavating; otherwise, peeling back layers to "carve out" and reveal something hidden beneath the surface.

She now paints full time from her home near the sea in Freshwater Bay, Isle of Wight.

Alexandra Rubinstein Lollipop, 2023 Menses on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Alexandra Rubinstein is a Brooklyn-based conceptual artist whose practice focuses on how culture and gender affect power and narrative. She came to the United States from Russia when she was 9, and spent the magical years of puberty enduring the misogyny of both cultures. Through education, therapy, and self-help, she learned to identify her feelings and channel her rage and resentment into her work. In said work, she challenges dated social systems and prejudices, and reconstructs the cis heterosexual female experience by transforming women from passive objects into active consumers. Taking back power and control, without taking centuries of oppression too seriously. When she's not working, she can be found running around park, reading in the park, drinking near the park, and generally not leaving her neighbourhood.

About Kate Mary (b.1992) is a Glasgow based artist and designer working predominantly with Oil Pastels and Acrylic. She completed her honours degree in Interior Design at Glasgow School of Art, graduating in 2019. Kate's practice is largely 2D drawings and paintings. These are detailed, idealised representations of places; collaged together to form immersive and calming visions of escapism. They are influenced by memories of local and far-flung journeys she makes, and the architecture, light, and pattern within them. Kate's work explores and responds to our built environment, capturing moments of intrigue in order to create intimate and otherworldly scenes.

Coral Harding Ember, 2023 Oil on Wood Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Coral Harding (b. 2001, London) is an artist currently in her third year of undergraduate studies at the Slade School of Fine Art, UCL. She studied her Art Foundation at Central Saint Martins. Coral examines the impression of awe and the psychology of perception. She is interested in the exploration and creation of space, and the ability to change the way space is experienced. Working with the material properties of light, she creates work in the forms of sculpture, painting, print and drawing to investigate the way light is both ephemeral and solid and has the power to illuminate and reveal while simultaneously being obscure.

Corinna Button 1N Transit II, 2023 Oil and mixed media on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About After completing a BA honours degree in painting, I pursued a printmaking postgraduate degree in the UK, where I am from. It was during this time that I was impacted by the German Expressionists, whose works, particularly in printmaking, left an indelible impression on me. I dedicated many subsequent years to developing my work in etching and other forms of printmaking. Today, printmaking continues to be a medium that intrigues me and is hugely influential in the way I approach my painting and sculpture. People are the subjects of my work and I am intrigued by moments that, despite initially appearing quite commonplace, are (for me) charged with great significance and meaning. My inspiration is drawn from experiences or predicaments I encounter in daily life, such as social gatherings, images from social media and words from a song or a poem. All these generate ideas for themes that I can build upon, "dress-up" and weave into my work. I compose figures either in groupings or as a single figure or just a face. My aim is not to create exact likenesses, but rather to create prototypical or archetypal figures whose personality or identity is both partly exposed and partly hidden beneath the surface. Everything about the way I work (both technique and subject) is motivated by the desire to reveal or "bring something to light." Thus, my process involves layering then scraping back, building then excavating; otherwise, peeling back layers to "carve out" and reveal something hidden beneath the surface.

Hannah Ludnow Seascape Series (2), 2023 Oil on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About The coastline of Cornwall is usually Hannah Ludnow's starting point, a place etched into the artist's memory having grown up near Falmouth Cornwall before moving to London to study art at University. Inspired by the amazing light, wide ever changing skies and beautiful dramatic coastlines, Hannah has always greatly admired the Cornish abstract expressionists Peter Lanyon, Patrick Heron and Ben Nicholson, whose work draws directly from experiences of nature's tempestuous or calm. Recently the artist has found herself looking at the work of Turner, influenced by his astute use of light. Hannah is inspired by the patterns nature creates: the force of the elements against the landscape, and the erosion against rock, sands, and man made objects as art form in itself. Hannah's work is very rarely an actual place, instead she starts with remembering a moment, and how that moment felt. Ludnow hopes to build an atmosphere in a painting, to draw you in, to imagine yourself there stood on a cliff, a beach or behind the dunes, exposed to the elements and the unpredictability of nature. the artist strives to capture a recollection of somewhere the viewer knows or remembers wherever in the world this may be. Her paintings are primarily about the light and the feelings a place can evoke in the viewer, the emotions that a memory of a place and time can stir within. A memory of thoughts and feelings within a landscape, often a special and private moment, where the vastness and beauty of the landscape around you brings a sense of perspective, clarity and calm .

Corrie Wingate The Good Shepherd, 2023 Ink on watercolour paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About As an artist, my background in travel photography has significantly influenced my artistic vision as a painter. By drawing inspiration from different environments and cultures I continue to work with both the constraints and the freedoms of figuration whilst also exploring the necessary tension inherent in working with chance or the unknown. Observational drawings and photographic imagery often serve as a foundation for creating figurative works that are rich with ambiguity, layers, and expressive mark-making. I apply abstract techniques to develop these works further, seeking to create paintings that offer a deeper emotional and psychological resonance beyond mere literal representation. My painting style is heavily influenced by the German expressionists who demonstrated the emotional impact of color on a viewer. My works often start with a single colour that dictates the tone and mood of the painting, which I then build upon. I also draw inspiration from the creative expression of children's artwork and the colour and light of Kenya, where I founded an art centre and live part time. Recurring themes of place, diaspora, and migration are central to my work. I am fascinated by the complex relationships between people and their environments, and how these relationships are shaped by history, culture, and identity. Whether through the use of colour, texture, or symbolism, I aim to create artworks that not only capture the essence of a place or a culture but also convey the emotions and experiences of the people who inhabit them.

Lisa Golightly Lake Swim (Study), 2023 Acrylic on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Lisa Golightly's artistic career began with photography. Her father was a painter, and though she grew up exposed to his practice, she discovered her appreciation for photography at an early age. However, while working on her Fine Art Photography and Photojournalism BFA, she found her way back to painting, developing an artistic practice which marries a deep technical and theoretical understanding of photography with painting. "As straightforward as it may sound, I have fallen in love with the brush, the color, the intimate experience of painting and creating my own world." Today, Lisa's artistic practice still begins with photography. She first scours the internet and estate sales for bundles of anonymous old photography and film. Then, she reframes, rebuilds and reimagines existing subjects of these forgotten photos in the terms of her own memory. She exaggerates light and color in a way that recalls old film photography, painting in pastel, washed out palettes that mimic overexposed film. Working with acrylic, and painting in a distinct painterly style, she references impressionism, pointillism, as well as the oeuvre of Fairfield Porter and Lois Dodd to create paintings that are both anonymous and inherently personal in nature. Lisa's work straddles the line between the familiar and the anonymous, creating an uncanny gray area in which we can all find some part of ourselves, our history or our memory. Lisa further explores the relations between memory, physical distance and the passage of time in this body of work. These paintings are more an exploration of memory than a visual reproduction of film photography. They are a bricolage of truth, interpretation and memory that capture the act of suspending time and the innate flaws in doing so. These works also explore the sense of collective memory, and the universal nature of human experience. Lisa comments that when procuring old photographs, "Strangely, a lot of times it's like 'Oh that could have been my family.' It's fascinating how a lot of images are something we all have, certain things, times or places that we all document similarly." Born in Eugene, Oregon, Lisa Golightly studied at the University of Arizona where she received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fine Art Photography and Photojournalism in 1996. Solo exhibitions include Marking Time, George Billis Gallery, Los Angeles, CA (2020), Linda Hodges Gallery, Seattle, WA (2020), Recent paintings, Clove and Creek, Kingston, New York (2018), If Only For A Little While, Good Eye Gallery, Los Angeles CA (2016), and more. Her work has been reviewed in Paper Magazine, Luxe Interior and Designs, The Huffington Post, and The Wall Street Journal. She has participated in art fairs including the Venice Art Walk in Venice Beach, California. Her art was selected for a promotional campaign in London, England in celebration of International Women's Day. She was also chosen to produce an album cover and interior art for musician Alec Lytle. Lisa lives and works in Portland, Oregon, where she spends her days in the old carriage garage-turned-studio in the back yard of her 100-year-old home.

(32 11/16 x 39 3/8in.)Footnotes:ProvenanceCollection privée, USALe design a toujours été au premier plan de la pratique de Pili Pili. Initié dans sa carrière en tant que décorateur d'intérieur, l'artiste a développé sa technique vers des approches plus intrinsèquement réflexives et personnelles, comme en témoigne la présente œuvre. Représentant des scènes de nature avec des images picturales plates d'animaux et de plantes, Pili Pili réalise des peintures exquises, telles que la présente œuvre. Animé par le désir de susciter une réponse esthétique immédiate à ses souvenirs, cette œuvre peut être considérée comme une réaction réflexe reflétant son passé intimement lié à une compréhension philosophique de son histoire.Bon nombre de ses œuvres examinent et observent le règne animal et ses réalités difficiles. En effet, on pourrait dire que son travail reflète les réalités de l'environnement dans lequel Pili Pili a grandi au Congo, alors sous le contrôle de la colonisation belge. Rejoignant l'atelier de Romain-Desfossés en 1947, Mulongoy bénéficia d'une certaine liberté esthétique sous l'enseignement de Pierre Romain-Desfossés et de sa philosophie moderniste. Pierre Romain-Desfossés croyait en la préservation et la promotion des pratiques esthétiques traditionnelles du peuple congolais, refusant de les éradiquer sous l'influence du colonialisme occidental.Dans l'œuvre ici présentée, des oiseaux surgissent, leurs plumes d'une beauté éclatante, créant une symphonie de formes et de couleurs. Chaque détail, chaque coup de pinceau, est méticuleusement exécuté pour saisir l'essence de la nature ailée. Les jeux de lumière subtils et les touches abstraites ajoutent une dimension poétique, invitant le spectateur à s'évader dans un monde enchanteur.À travers son art, Pili Pili nous transporte dans un royaume où la nature est magnifiée et où les oiseaux deviennent des messagers de grâce et de tranquillité. Ses tableaux, véritables hymnes à la beauté, nous invitent à contempler la fragilité de ces créatures célestes et à renouer avec notre propre nature émerveillée.L'œuvre de Pili Pili est un véritable témoignage de son talent artistique exceptionnel, capable de susciter des émotions profondes et d'éveiller en nous une connexion intime avec le monde naturel. À travers ses tableaux d'oiseaux, il nous invite à explorer les mystères de l'existence et à nous émerveiller devant la splendeur de la création.Design had always been at the forefront of Pili Pili's practice. Initiating his career as a house decorator, the artist would evolve his technique to more intrinsically reflective and personal approaches in content such as the present lot. Rendering nature scenes with flat pictorial depictions of animals and plants, Pili Pili executes exquisite paintings such as the present lot. Motivated in his works to access an immediate aesthetic response to his memories, the present lot can be viewed as a reflex reaction portraying his past intertwined with a philosophical understanding of his history. Many of his works examine and observe the animal kingdom and its harsh realities. Indeed, it could be said that his work may reflect the realities of the environment that Pili Pili grew up surrounded by in Congo which, at the time, was controlled by Belgian colonial rule. Joining the Romain-Desfossés workshop in 1947, Mulongoy was enabled a level of aesthetic freedom under his teacher's, Pierre Romain-Desfossés, modernist philosophy. It was Pierre Romain-Desfossés' belief to maintain and promote traditional aesthetic practices of the Congolese people and not to eradicate it under Western colonialism. In the presented artwork, birds emerge with their brilliantly coloured feathers, creating a symphony of shapes and hues. Every detail, every brushstroke, is meticulously executed to capture the essence of winged nature. Subtle plays of light and abstract touches add a poetic dimension, inviting the viewer to escape into an enchanting realm.Through his art, Pili Pili transports us to a realm where nature is exalted, and birds become messengers of grace and serenity. His paintings, true hymns to beauty, beckon us to contemplate the fragility of these celestial creatures and reconnect with our own sense of wonder.Pili Pili's work is a testament to his exceptional artistic talent, capable of eliciting profound emotions and awakening an intimate connection with the natural world. Through his bird paintings, he invites us to explore the mysteries of existence and marvel at the splendour of creation.Bibliographie Perrin Lathrop, African Artists, From 1882 to Now, ed. Joseph L.
