MARK FRANCIS (b.1962)Linear AxisOil and acrylic on canvasSigned, inscribed and dated 2009 on versoKerlin Gallery label on versoMark Francis creates elegant abstract paintings that at first glance could be seen as fine examples of classical, formal abstraction. And on one level they are. That is, he makes grid-based compositions, usually with a very sparse, precise palette, and often with black linear scaffolding that obliquely recalls Mondrian. But there is another important dimension to his work. It relates to the nature and complexity of the world beyond the limits of conventional vision. The forms, shapes and patterns he employs derive from reality as revealed by electron microscopes at one extreme and radio telescopes at another, from the subatomic to the cosmic.Born in Newtownards in Northern Ireland, he went to study at St Martin’s and then Chelsea School of Art in London. While he has been loosely associated with the YBAs, and featured in Sensation, the Royal Academy’s celebrated and controversial 1997 exhibition of the Saatchi collection, Francis has followed a highly individual path of consistent and rigorous exploration that has gained him international recognition. Around the end of the 1980s, he was painting close-up, analytical studies of plant structures. In the early 1990s, he began to reference microscopic views of organic forms and processes at a molecular level, creating striking compositions evoking the clusters and patterns of basic cellular structures.The idea of the grid gradually gained importance. The grid is an underlying matrix against which the world unfolds: matter, energy and life flare into being and fade away. All of this is charged with a sense of mystery. The grid is not a guarantee of a reassuring order: it is unstable, shifting, multiple, reflecting the continual play of order and chaos. Just as it is in this work from 2009, in which a network of overlapping lattices suggests a process of delicate calibration. The viewer is cast in the role of an observer trying to make sense of multiple data streams, constantly readjusting to a changing, compelling reality.Aidan Dunne, October 2019

Original vintage World War Two propaganda poster commissioned by the C.E.M.A. (Council for the Encouragement of Music and the Arts - later to become the Arts Council of Northern Ireland), it features a painting by the respected artist Harold Sandys Williamson (1892-1978) titled 'September Hop-picking' and it was originally intended to be hung "where war workers congregate". In 1940, during the Second World War, the Council for the Encouragement of Music and the Arts (CEMA), was appointed to help promote and maintain British culture. Chaired by Lord De La Warr, President of the Board of Education, the Council was government-funded and after the war was renamed the Arts Council of Great Britain. The interest in the arts during World War II led to the first government subsidy of the arts in Britain with the founding of the Arts Council in 1946, championed by Jenny Lee. Williamson was born in Leeds and attended the Leeds School of Art from 1911 to 1914, when he moved to London to study at the Royal Academy schools. During the year he was at the Academy school he was awarded the Turner Gold Medal. At the start of World War One, Williamson sought to enlist in the Britiah Army and was, at his second attempt, accepted as a private in the King's Royal Rifle Corps in January 1916. Williamson was injured at least twice during the fighting on the Western Front in France. The first occasion was during the Battle of Delville Wood in September 1916, when he was hit by a grenade fragment. Whilst recovering from a subsequent infection, he undertook orderly work in the operating theatre at No. 6 General Hospital in France and made a number of paintings based his experiences there. Williamson was also injured in April 1918 at the Villers-Bretonneux sector, when the sunken road his unit was defending was overrun by German forces. This action became the subject of his painting A German Attack on a Wet Morning, April 1918, which Wiiliamson completed in the spring of 1919. The painting was shown at the Royal Academy in 1919 to some public acclaim and was purchased by the British War Memorials Committee. Although Williamson wrote an extensive set of notes to accompany the painting, he left it to others to point out that the figure in the work facing the viewer with an injured hand was a self-portrait. After the War, Williamson established himself as a commercial artist. He designed posters for the London Underground and London Transport between 1922 and 1939 and also for the Empire Marketing Board, the GPO and the Council for the Encouragement of Music and the Arts. In 1930 he was appointed Head of the Chelsea School of Art, a post he held until 1958. During his tenure there he recruited Henry Moore to lead a new department of sculpture at the college. Other artists employed by Williamson as teachers included Graham Sutherland, Ceri Richards and Claude Rogers. Williamson was elected to the London Group in 1933 and, from 1937 to 1943, he served as the Group's chairman. He also exhibited on a regular basis with the New English Art Club and at the Royal Academy. In World War Two, Williamson completed a number of short-term commissions for the War Artists' Advisory Committee on the work of the Post Office in the London Blitz.Year of printing: 1943, country of printing: UK, designer: Harold Sandys Williamson, dimensions (cm): 76x101.5.

Original vintage Champagne advertising poster for Tattinger Collection by Arman. This poster shows a photograph of a bottle of Taittinger Champagne designed by French artist Arman, against a black background. Arman (November 17, 1928 – October 22, 2005) was a French-born American artist. Born Armand Fernandez in Nice, France, Arman was a painter who moved from using objects for the ink or paint traces they leave ("cachet", "allures d'objet") to using them as the painting itself. He is best known for his "accumulations" and destruction/recomposition of objects. Arman can be seen in Andy Warhol's film Dinner at Daley's, a documentation of a dinner performance by the Fluxus artist Daniel Spoerri that Warhol filmed on March 5, 1964. Fascinated with the scene in New York, Arman took up part-time residency there from his home in Nice in 1961, after his first exhibition at the Cordier Warren Gallery. In the city, he met Marcel Duchamp at a dinner given by the artist and collector William Copley. First living at the Chelsea Hotel and later in Church street while keeping a studio in Bowery, then in TriBeCa, Arman began work on large public sculptures. There were varied expansions of the accumulations. Their content included tools, watches, clocks, furniture, automobile parts, jewelry, and, of course, musical instruments in various stages of dismemberment. Musical instruments, specifically the strings[3] and bronze, through his collaboration with a foundry in Normandy, France, became a major avenue in Arman's work. Of Arman's accumulations, one of the largest is Long Term Parking, which is on permanent display at the Château de Montcel in Jouy-en-Josas, France. Completed in 1982, the sculpture is an 18-meter (60-ft.) high accumulation of 60 automobiles embedded in over 18,000 kg (40,000 lbs.) of concrete. Just as ambitious was the 1995 work Hope for Peace, which was specially commissioned by the Lebanese government to commemorate 50 years of the Lebanese military's service. Standing in once war-torn Beirut, the 32-meter (105-ft.) monument consists of 83 tanks and military vehicles. Taittinger is a French wine family who are famous producers of Champagne. The estate is headed by Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger (born 1953), a member of the consultative committee of the Banque de France. Its diversified holdings included Champagne Taittinger, Société du Louvre and Concorde Hotels, whose flagship is the famed Hotel de Crillon on the Place de la Concorde in Paris, France as well as the Loire Valley wine-producing firm of Bouvet-Ladubay, and a partnership in Domaine Carneros in California, until it was sold to Starwood Capital in 2005.Year of printing: 1981, country of printing: France, designer: Arman (Bottle) / Anna (Poster), dimensions (cm): 168x115. Good condition, restored folds, repaired tears, minor paper losses, backed on linen.
