Lot No: 11 - Ref No: 015 Moortosea By Kath Loram - Kal Art & Design Summer Holiday Home: White Hart Inn, Bridstowe "I enjoy walks on Dartmoor; it's beautiful, wild and full of history. It is a vast area that needs to be maintained, protected and cared for. It has much wildlife including the otter; they rest in underground dens, called holts normally on river banks and underground and have above ground resting places also. Otters are mainly nocturnal, they hunt travel and patrol their territory, you may not be lucky enough to see a wild otter, but you can find some fabulously painted and decorated otters with their cubs on the Moor Otters Arts Trail 2021 launched to raise funds to support projects to conserve and enhance Dartmoor's wildlife and landscape. Dartmoor is a living working landscape full of moorlands and rivers, with a wealth of colour and nature, colours flickering like darting fish in the sunlight, glistening granite like fish scales and the bluest of skies with movement and natural wonder, a reminder of the sea which inspired my Moor Otter design. An established artist born in the seaside town of Dawlish, Devon. My works are exciting with a dynamic use of colour and I use a variety of media and calligraphy, which are inspired by the world around me, local scenes, walks on Dartmoor, the sea and animals." This Otter is a 'Golden Otter' - one that has been specially selected by a panel of expert judges as being particularly stunning. Of the 81 Moor Otters there are only 25 Golden Otters. These Golden Otters will take their online bids to the live auction on Saturday, 2nd October 2021 at Bearnes, Hampton & Littlewood, Okehampton St, Exeter. You can continue to bid on these otters at the live auction in person or online.

陳衍寧 《虎嘯圖》 鏡框 紙本設色 ink and colour on paper, framed, titled, stamped and signed upper right58.5cm x 38.6cm; 80cm x 58.6cm overallFootnote: Provenance: Susan J and Michael Gassaway (Syllavethy Gallery, Aberdeenshire), with a letter of authenticity stating that the work was painted in the gallery during his visit to the Britain in 1986 under the sponsorship of the gallery by an official invitation from The Scottish Arts Council.Note: Mr and Mrs Gassaway met Chen Yanning on a trip to China in 1984, when he was the Head of the Guangdong Institute of Fine Art. To reciprocate his hospitality, Susan and Michael invited Yanning to visit the UK to view some of the Old Masters of Western Art that he had only seen in books back in China. Two years later, Yanning arrived in Aberdeen and together with Susan and Michael, he visited the museums in Scotland and London. Yanning made the museum attendants nervous as he wanted to get up close to study the thickness of paint on his favourite masterpieces. He, Susan and Michael communicated by using sign language and drawing sketches and quickly established a great friendship.Chen Yanning (b.1945) is a Chinese painter who lives and works in the United States. He was born in the southern province of Guangzhou, where he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts, graduating in 1965. He continued to work at the Academy as a painter until 1986 when he relocated to America, to study at Oklahoma City University. His early Chinese works include the poster Chairman Mao Inspects the Guangdong Countryside (1972) and New Doctor of the Fishing Port (1973).He has had many public portrait commissions most notably for the British Royal Family, in which he painted Queen Elizabeth, Duke of Edinburgh and Princess Anne. Yanning's portrait of the Queen was subsequently used by Royal Mail for the Jubilee Year stamp.Yanning works with oil paint, a medium predominantly used by western artists. Chinese painting was traditionally based on the technique of brush painting, which consisted of similar techniques to calligraphy using black ink or coloured pigments. Although a very different medium to oil paint, Yanning's portraits, in employing an impasto technique, which imbues the surface with an almost blurred washed finish, seems to suggest the sustained influence of his country's native painting.A comparable ink painting of three reclining tigers resting on a rock, also painted by Chen Yanning in 1986, was sold at Duton's Tianjin, China, 18th Dec 2011, lot 115

Joan Mitchell (American, 1925-1992). Lithograph on paper titled "Flower I" from the "Bedford" series, 1981. Pencil signed and numbered 50/70 along the lower right.“I carry my landscapes around with me.†-Joan MitchellJoan Mitchell was a central second generation member of the Abstract Expressionist movement. Her works are distinguished by their forceful, colorful lines, which often earn them comparisons to calligraphy. Unlike many of her Abstract Expressionist peers, Mitchell carefully planned her works, providing a grounded contrast to what at first glance might seem chaotic.Mitchell grew up in a wealthy family in Chicago, the child of a doctor and a poet. She was an athletic child, winning many figure skating competitions throughout her youth. Along with sports, she took an early interest in art, drawing and painting throughout her childhood. Her parents and teachers were supportive of her artistic interests: she staged her first art show at her school when she was only twelve years old.Following high school, she enrolled at Smith College to study English. After two years, she decided to pursue her art full-time and transferred to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where she received her BFA and MFA in painting. She continued her education in New York and in Paris, before settling in New York in 1950.In New York, she fell in with the Abstract Expressionist group. She became close with Willem de Kooning and Franz Kline, who became her mentors. She was soon invited to join the Club, an organization of Abstract Expressionist artists. The Club worked together to organize exhibitions, as well as providing a space for artistic discourse and community building. She participated in several notable shows during this period, including Leo Castelli’s Ninth Street exhibition, solidifying her place in the New York artistic scene. In 1952, she had her first solo exhibition at the New Gallery in New York.In 1955, she began traveling back and forth between Paris and New York, and in 1959, she settled permanently in France. She continued to exhibit regularly in both France and in the United States throughout the rest of her career. Her work pushed boundaries, pushing back on her Abstract Expressionist peers just as she pushed back on the artistic establishment. Her works make use of vigorous lines and bright colors; however, unlike many of her contemporaries, her work is frequently rooted in the physical. Instead of solely representing emotions and concepts, they often represent tangible objects, particularly plants and other aspects of the natural world."Flower I" is fresh, bright, and joyful. The strokes of vibrant apricot and red stretch upward, like the stalks of flowers growing toward the warmth and light of the sun. Above, frantic swirls of the deepest black are superimposed over a thicket of oranges, reds, and greens, which radiate out toward the edges of the work. The movement throughout the work is highly evocative of the growth and movement of flowers, stretching, swaying, and filling the air with their sweet scent.Unframed; height: 42 in x width: 32 1/2 in. Framed; height: 47 1/4 in x width: 37 1/4 in.Very good condition, the colors are bold and bright.

There is a suggestion of river banks, perhaps populated by bramble bushes, in the tightly drawn black and green bands constraining a looser, flowing central section, smoothed with bright yellow like a river gleaming in the sunlight. "Sides of a River II" is bursting with the movements and textures of its subject matter. In both of these works, through her forceful and striking linework, Joan Mitchell captures the serenity of a sunny afternoon in Bedford, and the sense of content it engendered in her.Unframed; height: 42 in x width: 32 1/2 in.
