Lot 39
* RYAN MUTTER,THE LAUNCHoil on canvas, signed 120cm x 100cm Framed. Note: Born in 1978, he studied at the Glasgow School of Art, where he graduated in 2001. He has now won many distinguished awards, including four from the Royal Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts.His inspiration comes from Britain's industrial heritage and its connection between man and the sea. In Glasgow alone shipbuilding provided work for 70,000 men in more than 50 yards spread along 11 miles of quayside. But today these yards sit empty, a shadow of their former self. The advancements made in technology and design methods superseded the old, and made once important skills and craftsmanship redundant. This is what drives Ryan as he looks to capture and remind people of how important this work force was in the development of the modern world.

* JOHN BELLANY CBE RA HRSA (SCOTTISH 1942 - 2013), SELF PORTRAIT, HOGMANAY, 1968 oil on board, signed, further signed, titled and dated 1968 verso 92cm x 122cm (approx 36 x 48 inches) Framed Provenance: Exhibited Germany, Kunsthalle Jesuitenkirche, Aschaffenburg, John Bellany - a Scottish Odyssey, Sept. 2006. Previously offered by Bonhams (Edinburgh) 19th April 2012, lot 121 with estimate of £50,000 - 70,000. (http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/19863/lot/121/) Note: "Self Portrait, Hogmany, 1968" was painted shortly after Bellany's traumatic but inspirational visit to Buchenwald. Note: It is well documented that Bellany used hardboard until 1969. ''In 1969 Bellany painted his second triptych Homage to John Knox. It brought together the principal themes in his work at the time and was heavily influenced by Max Beckmann's painting Departure. This was the last time Bellany painted on hardboard. He now began painting on canvas, which he found frustrating for the first six months until he got used to the 'tooth' of the surface. The change altered his technique. His use of glazes and meticulous handling were replaced by a more modern and overtly expressionist style'', These early Bellany oil on boards are relatively rare and invarably command a premium at auction. "Self portrait - Hogmanay was painted towards the end of Bellany's time at the Royal College of Art. Several new and important motifs can be seen in the painting, the parrot, the skeleton and the element of self portraiture. Bellany always had plastic parrots dotted around his studio. The exaggerated beak is a theme repeated by Bellany with seagulls and puffins in later works. Around the time of the painting Bellany went to Germany with friends, the artist Alexander Moffat and poet Alan Bold, where they visited artists on the east side of the Berlin Wall, an experience that was to prove a useful lesson in social realism for all three. While they were there they went on a tour of Buchenwald concentration camp. John Bellany's work is included in many of the world's great collections including the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and Tate Britain, London.

* JOHN BELLANY CBE RA HRSA (SCOTTISH 1942 - 2013),TSUNAMIoil on canvas, signed150cm x 119cm (approx 60 x 47 inches)Framed.Note: Of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami Bellany said: "It had a devastating effect on me as it did on everybody. But I was seeing these horrible images so often on TV that eventually nothing was going in. "The first two or three times, I was in a terrible state, but after a while I was numbed by them. "They seemed to lose their power, which is terrible. The only thing I could do was to paint." For Bellany, the son of a fisherman who was born and brought up in the seaside village of Port Seton, East Lothian, the images of devastation in the coastal areas had a special resonance. In search of peace and quiet, the artist retreated to his house in Tuscany, Italy, where he spent an intense fortnight painting a number of large canvases. Bellany, brought up in a strict Calvinist family, and whose work remained deeply influenced by religion, said: "The pictures from the TV got into my system, into my soul, and it was like these paintings brewed in me, and then I put them out." He added: "I painted the pieces very quickly. The intensity carried me through." Bellany was reluctant to provide an exact commentary on the paintings, preferring that the images be allowed to speak directly for themselves. But the impact and the destruction that the tsunami caused is clear. Survivors stare out of the canvas, while a father holds a tiny baby in his arms, the body limp as though asleep. In the background, fishing boats lie on their sides, thrown by the force of the wave inland on to the beach, while the human cost is seen in bodies wrapped in cloth and tied tight with a clothes line. In the distance, a blue streak of sea acts as a constant reminder of nature's destructive power. The artist said: "Although the tsunami was utterly horrific, one of the greatest tragedies the world has ever known, there was a poetry in what happened. The way those people dealt with it, the dignity of those who survived it, the grace with which they held their children, I was tremendously impressed by all of that.Bellany's work is included in some of the world's great collections including the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and Tate Britain, London.

* ALASDAIR BANKS,FRANKELoil on canvas, signed, further signed, titled and dated 2012 verso122cm x 61cmFramedNote: Alasdair studied fine art at Edinburgh College of Art. On graduating he embarked on a long career in local authority arts management, teaching art and curating exhibitions. During this time he perfected his artistic skills by producing work in the area of sporting art, particularly equine art. This area has traditionally been dominated by artists who, in the main, based their methodology on photographic references. Alasdair wanted to replace such static photographic realism with an expressionist style to reflect the speed and energy represented by the sporting horse in action. In 2000 Alasdair began showing his work at major equestrian events around the UK. The popularity of his early work in pastels and charcoal resulted in invitations to become Artist in Residence at Blair Castle and later at the Horse of the Year Show at Olympia. In 2002 Equestrian Art Ltd. began representing the artist. In 2008 Alasdair added works based on oil and canvas to his repertoire of pastels and ceramic sculptures. Also in 2008 Lloyds TSB banking Group, the major sponsor for the 2012 London Olympics invited Alasdair to become the chosen artist to portray equestrian sports at the Games.
