Mohamed Melehi (Moroccan, 1936-2020)Yellow Flame Between Black and Brown oil on canvas, framed executed circa 2007120 x 110cm (47 1/4 x 43 5/16in).Footnotes:Provenance:Property from a private collection, LondonAcquired directly from the artist by the present ownerBonhams is delighted to present this magnificent painting by the leading Moroccan modernist Mohammed Melehi. Melehi studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Tetouan, Morocco before going to study abroad at the Ecole superieure des Beaux-Arts Isabel de Hungria in Seville; the École supérieure des Beaux-Arts San Fernando in Madrid; the Academie des Beaux-Arts and the Istituto Statale d'Arte in Italy and the Ecole nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris. In 1964, Melehi returned to Morocco and became a professor of painting, sculpture and photography at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts of Casablanca from 1964 up until 1969 which was directed by Farid Belkahia. Melehi, Belkhahia and Chebaa formed the Casablanca group with an exhibition in Rabat in 1966. In addition to new modernist style in their personal work was also known for a pedagogy that focused on rooting modernism in local visual culture.Since the 1960s his body of work has been based around the recurrent motif of waves; the canvases are consistently hard-edged and optic abstractions. His lines are clean, the colours are clearly delineated and the brushstrokes and movements of his paintbrush are not visible. The waves themselves are often reconfigured, turned vertically to become flames, or cutting across the canvas on angle. The waves in his oeuvre have been linked to the waves on the beaches of Melehi's hometown Asilah. He has stayed consistent but reconfiguring similar elements in his research into colour and form, while continually varying small details, orientation, and the colour combinations, as well as adding other abstract shapes or symbols. He has re-worked his waves in other mediums, such as a sculpture in Mexico in 1968 for the International Meeting of Sculptors, in posters and murals or integrated into architectural projects.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Ayman Baalbaki (Lebanon, born 1975)Untitled (Loss and Destruction) acrylic and mixed media on canvas, framedsigned in Arabic and dated '2010' on the verso, executed in 2010200 x 150cm (78 3/4 x 59 1/16in).Footnotes:Provenance:Property from a private collection, DubaiChristie's, Modern & Contemporary Art, October 2015, lot 107Luce Gallery, Ciel Chargé de Fleurs, Turin, 2010Rose Issa Projects, Ciel Chargé de Fleurs, London, 2009'I have a temper. It doesn't always show but in some situations my temper flares up. It was war and displacement that made me tough. I developed an aggressive and defensive force in me... but the violence I have witnessed was translated into painting,' – Ayman BaalbakiAyman Baalbaki's inimitable depictions of war-torn Beirut are a visceral, aesthetically overpowering testament to the destructive power of conflict, a destruction whose genesis, whilst physical, infiltrates, scars and distorts the collective consciousness of its sufferers.Baalbaki's fixation with conflict is manifest throughout his life and work. Born in 1975, the year of the outbreak of the Lebanese Civil War, his family were forced to flee Rass-el Dikweneh when he was only a few months old. When it came to approaching his work as a painter Baalbaki naturally drew from the deep reservoir of memory formed by these disturbing experiences.Concerned with the link between imagery and memory, Baalbaki uses his art as a haunting aide-memoire to the conflict that has plagued Beirut, reminding people that even in times of relative piece, they should not disregard the deep systemic divisions that gave rise to conflict in the first place. Baalbaki explains that this conceptual initiative is 'based on what Nietzsche called the 'imposition of memory. After the war, whoever had experienced it, tried to erase its effects and impact from his/her memory and surroundings, although the causes of war and its essence [were] still present in the city'.In light of this overarching agenda, Baalbaki's works accordingly focus on the aftermath of conflict, and the remnants of its destructive influence. The gap between the act of destruction and the time of depiction, which Baalbaki's works occupy, is part of a concerted effort to place a reflective emphasis on the theme of war; it is seldom in the eye of the storm where one can truly measure, discern and recognize the effects of destruction, it is only when the impact of war breaches the heat of the battle, permeating into the visual, emotional and psychological landscape that its true imprint becomes manifest.The medium through which this imprint is made palpable by Baalbaki, is through the depiction of Beirut's war torn buildings; these buildings, like the individuals they contained, are perhaps some of the city's most important inhabitants, they are the edifices that signify identity, civilization, the existence of families and homes, they are the structures which give shelter, congregation, life, and industry to a population, they are the building blocks of the communities they house, and it is through their facades that the culture, history and collective narrative of their inhabitants are most immediately recognized.It is these buildings which therefore wear most overtly the wounds of war, and whilst the human impact of conflict lives within the hearts of those who have survived it, and through the memories of those who have the fallen, the visual insignia of conflict is most tangible in the fragmentation of the civic space.It is this fragmentation which Baalbaki seeks to document, reflect on, and ultimately immortalise in his canvases. Executed in a scale which captures both the architectural enormity of the buildings depicted, and the severity of the damage they have suffered, Baalbaki's paintings are striking vignettes of a city whose urban fabric has been punctured and mutilated.Monumental yet deeply personal, vigorous yet unsettlingly brooding, Baalbaki's building is rendered with both a stark brutality and delicate pathos, harnessing both its nurturing and destructive qualities, pointing to its emotionally paradoxical role in Lebanese life; as both part of the city built as a place of shelter, yet at the same time a scene of its greatest tragedies. The tension between these two elements, rendered as it is in monumental format, make this one of Baalbakis most emotive and compelling artworksThis lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * TP* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.TP Lots denoted with a 'TP' will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

3rd century AD. A group of four lead votive trapezoidal and square plaques showing scenes of a Danubian cult: on three plaques the god Sol and the goddess Luna are depicted in profile on the right and the left side of the upper part; on one plaque the sun at the top section driving the sun-chariot with four-horse (quadriga); at the centre of all plaques facing Helen of Sparta, the divine daughter of Leda and Zeus, welcoming her divine brothers, the twins Castor and Pollux, both personifying the Danubian rider; on two plaques both the riders advancing, holding the draco standard of the Roman legions; a soldier armed like a third century legionary is following the left cavalryman; two plaques with a cockerel, the sacred animal of the sun, foliage and animal symbols representing the divine power and the offerings to the gods on the fields, with scene of banquets; the eagle of Zeus at the top of three plaques; architectural elements on the background of all plaques. See Tudor, D., Corpus Monumentorum Religionis Equitum Danuviorum, 2 vols., Leiden 1969-1976; V. Vasilev, 'Two Lead Plaques with a Depiction of a Danubian Horseman from the Collection of the National Museum of the History of the Ukraine' in Ancient Civilizations from Scythia to Siberia 10,1-2, 2004, pp.67-76; Beutler F., Farka C., Gugl C., Humer F., Kremer, G. and Pollhammer, E.(ed.), Der Adler Roms, Carnuntum und die Armee der Caesaren, Bad Voslau, 2017, cat.67, for a similar plaque in bronze. 367 grams total, 79-94mm (3 - 3 3/4"). From the private collection of Antony John Scammell (1937-2019); all acquired from A. G. & S. Gillis, Barnsley, UK, in 2001; accompanied by a copy of the original invoice. The plaques contain a complex iconography of divine figures and symbols, probably to be associated with Thracian or Dacian beliefs of the Lower Danube region, but also with the Greek Myth of the divine twins Castor and Pollux (the Dioskouroi), an important element of the Roman religion too. Presiding over the whole scene is usually the Sol Invictus (the unconquered sun-god) and his sister the Moon (Selene"). His cult originated in the Near East and gained increasing influence under imperial patronage during the third century AD. The state worship of Sol (Greek Elios) was slowly substituted by Constantine's favour towards Christianity since AD 312. Antony John Scammell (1937-2019) was born, and lived his entire life, in the city of Bristol, England. Already from an early age he was enthralled by history and the heroes that it created. While serving overseas with the British Army, Antony began collecting coins and banknotes and this led to collecting a variety of different items throughout his life. From the early 1960s onward, Antony invested in acquiring ancient artefacts. Antony's vast collections started with Egyptian antiquities, but soon branched into Greek and Roman civilisations. The Roman civilisation fascinated him most and, when family commitments allowed, archaeological digs were coordinated in the west of England. These digs uncovered numerous artefacts, many of which were donated to local museums. In retirement, the collecting continued apace, branching into UK coins, British Empire banknotes and fossils.

The plaques contain a complex iconography of divine figures and symbols, probably to be associated with Thracian or Dacian beliefs of the Lower Danube region, but also with the Greek Myth of the divine twins Castor and Pollux (the Dioskouroi), an important element of the Roman religion too. Presiding over the whole scene is usually the Sol Invictus (the unconquered sun-god) and his sister the Moon (Selene"). His cult originated in the Near East and gained increasing influence under imperial patronage during the third century AD. The state worship of Sol (Greek Elios) was slowly substituted by Constantine's favour towards Christianity since AD 312. Antony John Scammell (1937-2019) was born, and lived his entire life, in the city of Bristol, England. Already from an early age he was enthralled by history and the heroes that it created. While serving overseas with the British Army, Antony began collecting coins and banknotes and this led to collecting a variety of different items throughout his life. From the early 1960s onward, Antony invested in acquiring ancient artefacts. Antony's vast collections started with Egyptian antiquities, but soon branched into Greek and Roman civilisations. The Roman civilisation fascinated him most and, when family commitments allowed, archaeological digs were coordinated in the west of England. These digs uncovered numerous artefacts, many of which were donated to local museums. In retirement, the collecting continued apace, branching into UK coins, British Empire banknotes and fossils. [4] Fine condition.
