Inhabited space transcends geometrical space' Gaston Bachelard, The Poetics of Space My practice looks at the vacant space, the hollow shell, the skin of things. I am drawn to psychologically ambiguous objects and spaces that are empty but charged and marked by the passage of people and time. I work with large format film, cameraless photography, and other creative techniques to seize the heart of my subjects, to capture their presence and aura. I'm interested in psychology, memory, and the body. My subjects have an intimate, physical relationship to the body and have been handled and inhabited, they are inanimate but loaded, exposing the affecting remnants of past lives. Resonating Spaces depicts a series of singular locations which have been inhabited but are vacant in the photograph, allowing the viewer in. Confessionals I and II are included in this series. The camera becomes an instrument for resurrecting archaic and obsolete objects, turning them into something new, allowing us to observe them and re-evaluate their cultural, political and sentimental meaning. I want my stark and silent photographs to act as introspective spaces, mirrors for self-examination which trigger our deeper thoughts and feelings, fears and desires. My work deals with absence. When something is missing, we unwittingly fill in the gaps, occupying the space with our own lived experience and imagination, drawing from memories and emotions which may be hidden or suppressed. The space becomes a reflection of ourselves, a chance to examine our own mind, identity, and feelings.   You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works.

Gabriela Szulman Observation Point, 2023 Acrylic paint and collage on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About I grew up in Buenos Aires, Argentina, but South London has been my home for many years now. Originally trained in in ceramics at Camberwell College of Art in the early 90s, after graduation I ran a ceramics studio for twelve years, supplying a number of galleries across the UK and also selling internationally. Later on I moved away from clay to explore working on paper and canvas, which led to an MA in studio printmaking from The University of Brighton in 2007. Since then I have been working as mixed-media artist, mostly in collage. My work features layered images coupled with a fair amount of bright colour and surface decoration and emerges from a fusion of painting, printmaking and found imagery. The resulting creations are often humorous and whimsical, with random connections between images. Creative inspiration comes from my growing archive of ephemera, which includes photograph albums, technical manuals, illustrated dictionaries, vintage documents, my grandmother's fashion magazines, knitting pattern books and scraps of writing among other things. The layering of found imagery and memorabilia runs across all my creations, whether they be mixed media works on canvas, collages, greeting card designs, or decorative objects.

Zafiro Storm Atomic, 2023 Oil pastels, tempera, acrylic, oil, watercolour and pencil on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About My relationship with art is given by the education and passion that I received from my mother's side. It was, has been and always will be the engine of my life. My childhood and adolescence were spent in a very complicated environment. After a major depression, at the age of 17, I decided to enter The School of Art. I graduated in 2001 with honors from the EADT of Catalonia in the specialty of Jewelry Design (1996-2001) Obtaining Honors in the Final Degree Project for "La Escuela Llotja de Barcelona" (School that evaluates all artistic careers in Catalonia, Spain). The same year, 2001, I was the winner of the Illustrious "FAD JEWELRY AWARD" in Barcelona. After obtaining the FAD award, I was selected by BARNAJOYA and the FAD Awards to exhibit at "The BARNAJOYA International Jewelry Fair" 2001. Two years later, in 2003, the DDI (Department of Design and Innovation of the Ministry of Science and Technology of Spain) selected me among the best designers, including me in their guide. My collaborations with artists took place years before, as was the case with the international sculptor Rufino Mesa, with whom I collaborated years before. In 2006 I was part of "NECRO-LITOS" of the como visual artist. For personal reasons. I spent a few years away from art in general, and from my career as a jewelry designer. It was in 2010 when I returned, internationally with my first painting exhibition "The PRINTED FOOTPRINT" at "Art House Gallery and Studios", Brooklyn, NY. I resumed my collaborations as a visual artist in 2015, this time, a participant in "El Milagro" of the international artist Abel Azcona at "The Gray Square Gallery", Spain. And, once again, I was summoned to participate in "DES-ENTERRADOS" by Abel Azcona, curated by Marisol Salanova in the Art Gallery "Conde de Rodezno" Spain in the same year 2015. That same year, I participated in "The 30th Anniversary of the BMW Painting Awards" in Madrid, with the portrait exhibition "FOUR ROOMS" I was interviewed for the Cultural Magazine "ACENTO CULTURAL" in Madrid that same year, 2015, for my artistic career as an internationally renowned artist. interview from which echoed Fahrenheit Magazine, Mexico D.F, publishing my Painting Series in the press "Anthropomorphous". In 2018 I was selected to exhibit the artistic installation FEC (these are the initials of the chemotherapy I received) in the "REG-ARTE" Contest, with the collaboration and within the Malaga Film Festival -MAF-Málaga. Two years later, Saatchi Gallery selected me as a featured artist in the "Saatchi Take Over" competition, London, UK in 2020. In 2021, I became part of the art gallery "Maison Contemporain Gallery" in Paris with my artworks "War Diary". In 2022 I became part of the Perdomo Gallery art gallery in Miami with my artworks "La Triada Combustible". Currently, I am part of the group show CON Spring Edition'23 at the Circle of None art gallery, London and to my delight, I have been selected by Gemma Peppe to be part of the group exhibition of Art on a Postcard Summer Auction 2023, London Exhibition in which I feel honored to participate, for its vital significance, and the great help to the community that is dealing with Hepatitis C.

For the series created, especially for AOAP, I have highlighted the most activist part of the speech. I have shown more clearly the dimension of the female character, the girl. With traits that illuminate the discourse of abuse, protection and the empowerment of reason, but since creation. From the female drive. The one that lies in the exact balance between the rational and the creative. The one that is established whole and without fissures. A character who up to now has lived in harmony with the rest of the work, but who is now shown on the scene and points to the viewer. There are four titles: MY LIMITS, a work that makes use of nature as a protective and defensive barrier. Beauty and strength go together without questioning their symbiosis. I show myself, I am. Full. But I know my true beauty. And that beauty is my limits BIZUM, a work that talks about the immediacy of the use and consequently the abuse of everything that is within our reach. The characters in the play laugh mischievously, in a relaxed but expectant attitude. You could say they are ready. ATOMIC, a work that speaks of the potential and high management capacities in complex situations Change our anatomy and adapt to the environment. Turn our ballast (decayed flower) into a soccer ball with which to strengthen our drive towards better results. PLAY HIDE with THE ELEPHANT in the ROOM talks about the fact of playing hide and seek before such an important issue as evidence. The climate crisis. And playing hide and seek with the elephant in the room is not wanting to see the evidence. If we summarize the language, we find ourselves again, before a type of mistreatment, disaffection and ignorance.   You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works.

Alex Callaway Nibble, 2023 Oil on acrylic on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About I am a fine artist living and working near Worcester in England. Mostly self-taught, my early career was spent developing a distinct style of Pop Surrealism for the international poster and merchandise markets, alongside producing book cover illustration and murals. My passion for the natural world and landscape painting eventually took over, and this has grown to include portraits and especially still lifes which I paint from life. Select Exhibitions/Awards I was a finalist in the prestigious 2018 Columbia Threadneedle Prize, received an Alfred Daniels Award from The Royal Society of British Artists 300th Exhibition, and an Arcadia Contemporary Award from the 12th International ARC Salon. In 2019 I was very moved to win first prize for a portrait of my late daughter Megan (2001-2021) in the biennial RBSA Portrait Prize Exhibition.

Anne-Marie Butlin Bramble Flowers, 2023 Watercolour on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About I live in Crouch End, North London, and paint full-time in my garden studio. All my work is essentially an attempt to make a beautiful, uplifting image. In both my garden and still life paintings I hope to convey the character of different flowers and the unique feeling they can create in a space; the strong structures and often the sheer joyfulness of their appearance. I try to capture the sense of calm that flowers can give us; a chance to contemplate and meditate, and remember our connection with the natural world. Portrait/figure paintings are likewise an attempt to capture quiet transitory moments; recording a moment of childhood or the unique shape of a body or face before it changes forever. My work combines strong traditional technical skill with quite a modern sensibility and I find they appeal to a wide range of people; working just as well in a simple modern interior as in a period home.

Sheila Wallis The Husband's Hands, 2023 Pencil on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About I was born in Derry City in Northern Ireland. I live and work in London. I was awarded my Master's Degree in 2014 at the City and Guilds of London Art School, and won the Principal's Prize. In 2009 I won the Threadneedle Prize, the Winsor and Newton Painting / Watts Gallery Painting Prize. I won the ING Discerning Eye London and South East regional prize both in 2019 and in 2021. I bring the skills of a traditional figurative artist to a spectrum of contemporary and historical subject matter, my primary interest though, is as an image maker. My interests though wide-ranging, centre on exploring the formal and critical potential of painting and drawing. Whether through an exploration of the painterly potential of X-Ray imaging, cinematic and television stills, the tonal delicacy of the daguerreotype, or in creative reinterpretation of archival, photographic and photojournalistic sources. I occasionally accept portrait commissions and run a small private teaching practice from my London studio.

Gabriela Szulman Self Portrait, 2023 Woven collage Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About I grew up in Buenos Aires, Argentina, but South London has been my home for many years now. Originally trained in in ceramics at Camberwell College of Art in the early 90s, after graduation I ran a ceramics studio for twelve years, supplying a number of galleries across the UK and also selling internationally. Later on I moved away from clay to explore working on paper and canvas, which led to an MA in studio printmaking from The University of Brighton in 2007. Since then I have been working as mixed-media artist, mostly in collage. My work features layered images coupled with a fair amount of bright colour and surface decoration and emerges from a fusion of painting, printmaking and found imagery. The resulting creations are often humorous and whimsical, with random connections between images. Creative inspiration comes from my growing archive of ephemera, which includes photograph albums, technical manuals, illustrated dictionaries, vintage documents, my grandmother's fashion magazines, knitting pattern books and scraps of writing among other things. The layering of found imagery and memorabilia runs across all my creations, whether they be mixed media works on canvas, collages, greeting card designs, or decorative objects.

Zafiro Storm Bizum, 2023 Oil pastels, tempera, acrylic, watercolour, oil, markers and pencil on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About My relationship with art is given by the education and passion that I received from my mother's side. It was, has been and always will be the engine of my life. My childhood and adolescence were spent in a very complicated environment. After a major depression, at the age of 17, I decided to enter The School of Art. I graduated in 2001 with honors from the EADT of Catalonia in the specialty of Jewelry Design (1996-2001) Obtaining Honors in the Final Degree Project for "La Escuela Llotja de Barcelona" (School that evaluates all artistic careers in Catalonia, Spain). The same year, 2001, I was the winner of the Illustrious "FAD JEWELRY AWARD" in Barcelona. After obtaining the FAD award, I was selected by BARNAJOYA and the FAD Awards to exhibit at "The BARNAJOYA International Jewelry Fair" 2001. Two years later, in 2003, the DDI (Department of Design and Innovation of the Ministry of Science and Technology of Spain) selected me among the best designers, including me in their guide. My collaborations with artists took place years before, as was the case with the international sculptor Rufino Mesa, with whom I collaborated years before. In 2006 I was part of "NECRO-LITOS" of the como visual artist. For personal reasons. I spent a few years away from art in general, and from my career as a jewelry designer. It was in 2010 when I returned, internationally with my first painting exhibition "The PRINTED FOOTPRINT" at "Art House Gallery and Studios", Brooklyn, NY. I resumed my collaborations as a visual artist in 2015, this time, a participant in "El Milagro" of the international artist Abel Azcona at "The Gray Square Gallery", Spain. And, once again, I was summoned to participate in "DES-ENTERRADOS" by Abel Azcona, curated by Marisol Salanova in the Art Gallery "Conde de Rodezno" Spain in the same year 2015. That same year, I participated in "The 30th Anniversary of the BMW Painting Awards" in Madrid, with the portrait exhibition "FOUR ROOMS" I was interviewed for the Cultural Magazine "ACENTO CULTURAL" in Madrid that same year, 2015, for my artistic career as an internationally renowned artist. interview from which echoed Fahrenheit Magazine, Mexico D.F, publishing my Painting Series in the press "Anthropomorphous". In 2018 I was selected to exhibit the artistic installation FEC (these are the initials of the chemotherapy I received) in the "REG-ARTE" Contest, with the collaboration and within the Malaga Film Festival -MAF-Málaga. Two years later, Saatchi Gallery selected me as a featured artist in the "Saatchi Take Over" competition, London, UK in 2020. In 2021, I became part of the art gallery "Maison Contemporain Gallery" in Paris with my artworks "War Diary". In 2022 I became part of the Perdomo Gallery art gallery in Miami with my artworks "La Triada Combustible". Currently, I am part of the group show CON Spring Edition'23 at the Circle of None art gallery, London and to my delight, I have been selected by Gemma Peppe to be part of the group exhibition of Art on a Postcard Summer Auction 2023, London Exhibition in which I feel honored to participate, for its vital significance, and the great help to the community that is dealing with Hepatitis C.

For the series created, especially for AOAP, I have highlighted the most activist part of the speech. I have shown more clearly the dimension of the female character, the girl. With traits that illuminate the discourse of abuse, protection and the empowerment of reason, but since creation. From the female drive. The one that lies in the exact balance between the rational and the creative. The one that is established whole and without fissures. A character who up to now has lived in harmony with the rest of the work, but who is now shown on the scene and points to the viewer. There are four titles: MY LIMITS, a work that makes use of nature as a protective and defensive barrier. Beauty and strength go together without questioning their symbiosis. I show myself, I am. Full. But I know my true beauty. And that beauty is my limits BIZUM, a work that talks about the immediacy of the use and consequently the abuse of everything that is within our reach. The characters in the play laugh mischievously, in a relaxed but expectant attitude. You could say they are ready. ATOMIC, a work that speaks of the potential and high management capacities in complex situations Change our anatomy and adapt to the environment. Turn our ballast (decayed flower) into a soccer ball with which to strengthen our drive towards better results. PLAY HIDE with THE ELEPHANT in the ROOM talks about the fact of playing hide and seek before such an important issue as evidence. The climate crisis. And playing hide and seek with the elephant in the room is not wanting to see the evidence. If we summarize the language, we find ourselves again, before a type of mistreatment, disaffection and ignorance.   You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works.

Inhabited space transcends geometrical space' Gaston Bachelard, The Poetics of Space My practice looks at the vacant space, the hollow shell, the skin of things. I am drawn to psychologically ambiguous objects and spaces that are empty but charged and marked by the passage of people and time. I work with large format film, cameraless photography, and other creative techniques to seize the heart of my subjects, to capture their presence and aura. I'm interested in psychology, memory, and the body. My subjects have an intimate, physical relationship to the body and have been handled and inhabited, they are inanimate but loaded, exposing the affecting remnants of past lives. Resonating Spaces depicts a series of singular locations which have been inhabited but are vacant in the photograph, allowing the viewer in. Confessionals I and II are included in this series. The camera becomes an instrument for resurrecting archaic and obsolete objects, turning them into something new, allowing us to observe them and re-evaluate their cultural, political and sentimental meaning. I want my stark and silent photographs to act as introspective spaces, mirrors for self-examination which trigger our deeper thoughts and feelings, fears and desires. My work deals with absence. When something is missing, we unwittingly fill in the gaps, occupying the space with our own lived experience and imagination, drawing from memories and emotions which may be hidden or suppressed. The space becomes a reflection of ourselves, a chance to examine our own mind, identity, and feelings.   You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works.

Anousha Payne A Temporary Shift (Self Portrait as a horse) Study 7, 2023 Watercolour on Arches paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Anousha is interested in this combination of moral dilemmas and magic; spirituality and animism alongside characters with transformative qualities. A lot of these stories carry so much history with them; they've been passed down from generation to generation, through word of mouth and personal adaptations and flourishes that change the stories over time. Another element to her work is storytelling through simple gestures and expressions, reflecting on human interaction and communication. The deployment of bharathantyam hand gestures is used of a way of connecting with her cultural heritage, as well as being used for their known symbolic meaning. Alongside this, Anousha is interested in the human pursuit of spirituality in object form, as a form of cultural expression that is distinct from religious symbolism. Through the process of psychic automatism and free-association, she delves into whether it is possible to imbue spirituality into an object, and in the material qualities of religious or spiritual objects; how the material qualities of a work impact our experience of them, and the processes by which they are made inform them. Often deploying a reptile skin, her ceramics are intended as hybrid objects, a reminder of the fluidity and shared qualities between humans, animals, the natural world and inanimate objects, questioning material hierarchies and values. This process seeks to build an aesthetic dialogue and personal visual language as a meditative interaction.

Richard Nott Pot Portrait from 16th C Vine Jar, 2023 Acrylic on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About I trained as a fashion designer at Kingston University. Following that I went to work as design assistant to sig. Valentino in Rome. After three marvellous years in Italy immersed in sunshine, couture, history and pasta I moved back to the UK and for the next ten years returned to Kingston University as Principal Lecturer in fashion design. Eventually, wanting to re-enter the fashion industry as an independent designer, I co-founded the cult fashion company 'Workers for Freedom' which was awarded British Fashion Council Designer of the Year in 1990. In 2000 after selling 'Workers for Freedom' I was free to fulfil a lifelong ambition and become a painter. Having worked in the fashion industry all my life I have developed a respect and love for texture, shape, colour and pattern. Wanting to incorporate this into my work led to an initial series of paintings inspired by clothing. Gaining access to the reserve collections in the Victoria and Albert museum and the Court Collection in Kensington palace in London, exhibitions in the Museé des Arts Decoratifs in Paris and the royal kaftans held in the Topkapi museum in Istanbul I was able to make large paintings of iconic historic garments from different cultures. This work was presented in a one man show at Browse and Darby in Cork Street, London. Then, after moving to Kent and ten years of living in and looking after a 15thC National Trust house, I moved to the south coast. settling on the South Downs and looking out towards the sea, my work has taken a semi abstract path but still retains the decorative hints of a long career in fashion.

Sheila Wallis Study of a foot, 2023 Oil paint on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About I was born in Derry City in Northern Ireland. I live and work in London. I was awarded my Master's Degree in 2014 at the City and Guilds of London Art School, and won the Principal's Prize. In 2009 I won the Threadneedle Prize, the Winsor and Newton Painting / Watts Gallery Painting Prize. I won the ING Discerning Eye London and South East regional prize both in 2019 and in 2021. I bring the skills of a traditional figurative artist to a spectrum of contemporary and historical subject matter, my primary interest though, is as an image maker. My interests though wide-ranging, centre on exploring the formal and critical potential of painting and drawing. Whether through an exploration of the painterly potential of X-Ray imaging, cinematic and television stills, the tonal delicacy of the daguerreotype, or in creative reinterpretation of archival, photographic and photojournalistic sources. I occasionally accept portrait commissions and run a small private teaching practice from my London studio.

Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork I selected these works (2 paintings and 2 drawings) because they are representative of my current practice. I have recently been making small life studies using a life model in preparation for large studio paintings. I have been making large life studies since 2007 and continue to be captivated. I frequently make small oil paintings from selected film-stills which begin to hint at the possibility of an alternative narrative, one that isn't actually chronicled in the film itself. The drawing of my husband's hands, and another is a depiction of an interior titled 'Room', a current subject of interest which I hope to further develop in 2023.

For the series created, especially for AOAP, I have highlighted the most activist part of the speech. I have shown more clearly the dimension of the female character, the girl. With traits that illuminate the discourse of abuse, protection and the empowerment of reason, but since creation. From the female drive. The one that lies in the exact balance between the rational and the creative. The one that is established whole and without fissures. A character who up to now has lived in harmony with the rest of the work, but who is now shown on the scene and points to the viewer. There are four titles: MY LIMITS, a work that makes use of nature as a protective and defensive barrier. Beauty and strength go together without questioning their symbiosis. I show myself, I am. Full. But I know my true beauty. And that beauty is my limits BIZUM, a work that talks about the immediacy of the use and consequently the abuse of everything that is within our reach. The characters in the play laugh mischievously, in a relaxed but expectant attitude. You could say they are ready. ATOMIC, a work that speaks of the potential and high management capacities in complex situations Change our anatomy and adapt to the environment. Turn our ballast (decayed flower) into a soccer ball with which to strengthen our drive towards better results. PLAY HIDE with THE ELEPHANT in the ROOM talks about the fact of playing hide and seek before such an important issue as evidence. The climate crisis. And playing hide and seek with the elephant in the room is not wanting to see the evidence. If we summarize the language, we find ourselves again, before a type of mistreatment, disaffection and ignorance.   You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works.

Morag Caister New Sofa 1, 2023 Pencil and soft pastel on paper Signed on Verso 12.5 x 18cm (4¾ x 7 in.) About Morag Caister (b. 1994) is an award winning British artist living and working in London. Since graduating from The University of Brighton Caister has exhibited in significant museums, galleries and art fairs in the UK and abroad, her first solo show taking place last summer in Tirana, Albania. Caister is the winner of Sky Art's televised series Portrait Artist of the Year 2022 and has artwork in private collections Soho House and The National Portrait Gallery. Caister is currently a candidate for Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe: Art & Culture. Caister's practice explores ultimate, existential themes through figuration.

Caister works from live sittings and finds the figure in repetitive straggling painted lines before using colour sparingly.

His passport series humanises the globe, reminding us that every country exists not only in its geographical features but is made up of people, who have an often desperate need or simply a desire to travel. His recent work, included in the show, looks at the shifting borders of Europe, at the disintegration of the British Empire, at the attempt to apply branding to humanity from a very young age, until death. Branded World represents the different countries of the world using Lego characters, with each figure wearing it's country's passport cover.   You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works.

Susan Ryder The Gothic Window, 2023 Pencil on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About My father was an amateur painter, so I borrowed his oil paints from the age of 13. He was my greatest influence with his love of the Impressionists and then I discovered Vermeer and Vuillard through my inspirational art school teacher Bernard Dunstan RA. I was elected a member of the New English Art Club and the Royal Society of Portrait Painters. I was Vice President of The RP from 2002 to 2008. I have been commissioned to paint a wide range of people, most notably in 1981, commissioned by the then Prince of Wales, H.R.H. The Princess of Wales in her wedding dress and in 1997, H.M.The Queen, to celebrate the Royal Automobile Club's Centenary. Although, as you can see from this site, most of my portraits are of less well known people. My Interiors are mostly sold at exhibitions - either with the New English Art Club or through other galleries and dealers. My London gallery is Panter and Hall where I hold solo exhibitions every four years - "Lamplight and Flowers" in 2016, "Looking Through" in 2020 and my next solo exhibition will be in 2024.

Sheila Wallis Room 2023, 2023 Pencil on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About I was born in Derry City in Northern Ireland. I live and work in London. I was awarded my Master's Degree in 2014 at the City and Guilds of London Art School, and won the Principal's Prize. In 2009 I won the Threadneedle Prize, the Winsor and Newton Painting / Watts Gallery Painting Prize. I won the ING Discerning Eye London and South East regional prize both in 2019 and in 2021. I bring the skills of a traditional figurative artist to a spectrum of contemporary and historical subject matter, my primary interest though, is as an image maker. My interests though wide-ranging, centre on exploring the formal and critical potential of painting and drawing. Whether through an exploration of the painterly potential of X-Ray imaging, cinematic and television stills, the tonal delicacy of the daguerreotype, or in creative reinterpretation of archival, photographic and photojournalistic sources. I occasionally accept portrait commissions and run a small private teaching practice from my London studio.

Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork I selected these works (2 paintings and 2 drawings) because they are representative of my current practice. I have recently been making small life studies using a life model in preparation for large studio paintings. I have been making large life studies since 2007 and continue to be captivated. I frequently make small oil paintings from selected film-stills which begin to hint at the possibility of an alternative narrative, one that isn't actually chronicled in the film itself. The drawing of my husband's hands, and another is a depiction of an interior titled 'Room', a current subject of interest which I hope to further develop in 2023.

Richard Nott Pot Portrait from 18th C Rabbit Jar, 2023 Acrylic on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About I trained as a fashion designer at Kingston University. Following that I went to work as design assistant to sig. Valentino in Rome. After three marvellous years in Italy immersed in sunshine, couture, history and pasta I moved back to the UK and for the next ten years returned to Kingston University as Principal Lecturer in fashion design. Eventually, wanting to re-enter the fashion industry as an independent designer, I co-founded the cult fashion company 'Workers for Freedom' which was awarded British Fashion Council Designer of the Year in 1990. In 2000 after selling 'Workers for Freedom' I was free to fulfil a lifelong ambition and become a painter. Having worked in the fashion industry all my life I have developed a respect and love for texture, shape, colour and pattern. Wanting to incorporate this into my work led to an initial series of paintings inspired by clothing. Gaining access to the reserve collections in the Victoria and Albert museum and the Court Collection in Kensington palace in London, exhibitions in the Museé des Arts Decoratifs in Paris and the royal kaftans held in the Topkapi museum in Istanbul I was able to make large paintings of iconic historic garments from different cultures. This work was presented in a one man show at Browse and Darby in Cork Street, London. Then, after moving to Kent and ten years of living in and looking after a 15thC National Trust house, I moved to the south coast. settling on the South Downs and looking out towards the sea, my work has taken a semi abstract path but still retains the decorative hints of a long career in fashion.

Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork The painting shows and is named after the 'House of Reeves', an independent furniture store in Croydon south London, run by the same family for over 150 years London. On 8th of August 2011, during the London riots, the store was burnt down. In this painting I used a found photograph showing the store on fire, but replacing the arsonists and rioters with flying saucers, and AT-St Walkers/Tie-Fighters from Star Wars. This work is coupled with another image I did in 2020, made during the Black Lives Matter protests, in which the rioters are shown as they are, and the authorities replaced with Star Wars AT-AT walkers. These kinds of themes are generally very unusual in my work, but give me an outlet for looking at social issues and my interest in sci-fi - creating images that combine cinema, surrealism and social realism.   You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works.
