Josie Clouting Collecting Colours II, 2021 Acrylic on Paper Signed on verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Josie immerses herself in the landscape, from man made cultivated botanic gardens to wild stormy beaches and the rolling hills where she lives. Her paintings are intuitive, emotional responses to her natural environment, inspired by the vastness and wonder of the natural world. Josie's works are saturated with colour, vitality and energy, reflecting her response to light, atmosphere and topography. Painting and sketching en plein air is a vital part of her practice, enabling her to react to the landscape and play with loose, immediate brush marks. Experimenting with acrylics on a variety of surfaces and scales, with many large scale paintings as a result are part of the enjoyment of the creative process. Josie's physical movements creating large expansive works are an expression of the energy she feels within the landscape. Josie graduated with a degree in Fine Art from Norwich University of the Arts in 2012. Her studio is now based in Maidenhead, Berkshire, UK. Recent shows include the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2020, Holly Bush Emerging Woman Painter Prize 2020 and the Sunday Times Watercolour Competition 2019.

Jarek Puczel Couple, 2021 Acrylic on Paper Signed on verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) Looking at my work, you will undoubtedly come across many stories of romantic love. Being a careful observer of this kind of love inspires me to portray it in a bitter-sweet duality. Some of these experiences are my personal, others I have attracted through emotional resonance, somehow accessing others people's stories. From a larger perspective, it doesn't matter what is "mine or yours", as most of us go through similar experiences. Working in a common mental field allows me to overcome my innate introversion and gives me a liberating sense of development and self-transcendence. I try to find a balance between the sensuality of the depiction and the clarity of the ideas presented. To weaken the identification with a specific realistic embodiment, I reduce and intensify the form of my work. Consciously minimize facial features, avoiding man's individual aspects and emphasize their "intimate anonymity". I accept the projective nature of my paintings and I am pleased with their semantic independence.

Rana Begum WP536, 2021 Spray Paint on Paper Signed on verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Born in Bangladesh in 1977, Rana Begum lives and works in London. The work of London-based artist Rana Begum distills spatial and visual experience into ordered form. Through her refined language of Minimalist abstraction, Begum blurs the boundaries between sculpture, painting and architecture. Her visual language draws from the urban landscape as well as geometric patterns from traditional Islamic art and architecture. Light is fundamental to her process. Her works absorb and reflect varied densities of light to produce an experience for the viewer that is both temporal and sensorial. Begum was also recently elected an RA (2020) EDUCATION 2002 Slade School of Fine Art, London - MFA in Painting 1999 Chelsea College of Art and Design, London - BA (Hons) Fine Art Degree (Painting) 1996 University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield, Hertfordshire - BTEC Diploma in Foundation Studies in Art and Design.

Peter Clark Free as a Bird Collage on Paper Signed on verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) London based collage artist Peter Clark is widely known for his whimsical collage art. He uses a collection of found papers, which are colored, patterned or textured by their printed, written or worn surfaces. He shades with density of print and creates substance and movement with lines plucked from old maps or manuscripts. His pieces use mark making in an innovative and humorous way to create his subjects. From animals created from maps, labels and discarded tickets, to garments carefully crafted from gift wrapping, musical scores and love letters, Peter Clark has the rare ability to turn ordinary printed matter into exquisite works of art with character, beauty and wit. Whether at antiques fair in Sussex, or further afield to flea markets in France, USA, Japan and India, he travels far and wide to source materials for his next pieces.

Sarah Louise Hawkins Arcase, 2021 Acrylic on Watercolour Paper Signed on verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) My practice is predominantly focused on exploring the spatial and optical capacities of colour, form, pattern and surface through painting, drawing and sculpture. The work is non-representational and often self-referential - shapes and patterns from one work will inform and inspire the composition of the next. This symbiotic relationship sees patterns, colours and forms appearing and transforming in a multitude of ways across all media.

Julie-Ann Simpson Flow, 2021 Gouache, Pencil and Pen on Paper Signed on verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Julie-Ann Simpson is a painter from Aberdeen, currently based in Glasgow. Since graduating from Gray's School of Art in 2014, she returned to the painting department in a teaching role and also worked at Grampian Hospitals Art Trust before relocating to Glasgow. She is a previous recipient of the Visual Arts and Craft Makers Awards, Hope Scott Trust Award and RSA Guthrie Award and Medal for painting both in 2014 and 2019. She is an elected professional member of Visual Arts Scotland. As a painter, Julie-Ann Simpson is interested in the porous boundaries between interior and exterior spaces, dreams and reality. The paintings sit in that transitional place, often beginning as representations, but eventually seem to slip into ambiguous afterimages. Simpson's latest body of work considers our interrelationship with the natural world bringing together ideas of imagination, ritual, memory, pleasure and language Education 2010 - 2014 - Gray's School of Art, Robert Gordon University.

Works frequently with Purslane and also Art for Charity Collective. About the postcard artworks These works are more intimate in scale, both in the postcard format but also in the close-up, cropped perspective of the images themselves which I feel complements the subject matter well. They speak to a tenderness and resilience, nurtured like a plant, which resides inside all women.

Julie-Ann Simpson Snag, 2021 Pencil on Paper Signed on verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Julie-Ann Simpson is a painter from Aberdeen, currently based in Glasgow. Since graduating from Gray's School of Art in 2014, she returned to the painting department in a teaching role and also worked at Grampian Hospitals Art Trust before relocating to Glasgow. She is a previous recipient of the Visual Arts and Craft Makers Awards, Hope Scott Trust Award and RSA Guthrie Award and Medal for painting both in 2014 and 2019. She is an elected professional member of Visual Arts Scotland. As a painter, Julie-Ann Simpson is interested in the porous boundaries between interior and exterior spaces, dreams and reality. The paintings sit in that transitional place, often beginning as representations, but eventually seem to slip into ambiguous afterimages.

Adam Handler Lavender Ghost, 2021 Oil Stick and Pencil on Paper Signed on verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Adam Handler (1986) was born in Queens NY and grew up on Long Island. As a young child and adolescent, he spent countless hours at his grandparents framing factory in New York City. There, his passion for the arts grew and it became inevitable that he too would discover the many possibilities of art. Handler studied Life Drawing in Italy and went on to graduate from Purchase College with a major in Art History. He has also studied craft design with Jorge Nieves and printing color photography with Debra Mesa-Pelly. Handler has mounted solo exhibitions throughout New York City and East Hampton. His work has also been shown extensively at major art fairs which include, Art New York, Art Market Hamptons, Art Context Miami, Spring/Break Art Fair and the Armory Print Fair. In addition, Handler's work has been included in numerous exhibitions throughout the United States, Canada, Middle East, Asia and Europe.

In my early 20's a childhood friend of mine passed away and at the same time I started to see grandparents get older and the realization that we are not invincible and "nothing lasts forever" started to set in. The ghosts were born from that anxiety and an attempt to create a friendly and non-threatening relationship with death. The works are in a sense not about dying but rather a reminder to live life to the fullest. More recently the works started to contain short vague phrases. I wanted to keep the sayings simple and open to interpretation as each person viewing the work will have their own personal relationship with the words.

Una Ursprung White Tulip, 2021 Watercolour and Acrylic Spray on Paper Signed on verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Una Ursprung's work is filled with mountains, forests, trees, and flowers. Born in Taipei, the artist has spent much of her life between Taiwan, France, and Switzerland, constantly refreshing her appreciation for sprawling natural landscapes. In these countries, Ursprung enjoyed pastoral, tranquil lifestyles which have inspired her sublime, airy works. Her canvases are dual-layered: a highly realistic natural background is superimposed by a layer of abstract detail, created using oils or acrylic spray paint. Sometimes these abstract details look like pastel oil spills; large, colourful shapes pooling on the surface. At other times, the marks made by the artist are shorter, finer lines, more like microscopic images of bacteria. The artist refers to this layer as a way to capture pollution, whether it be the man-made variety or the fleeting objects in the air, like dust, insects, or leaves, as in her forest sketches. These shapes are trapped in suspension, freezing the moment in front of us and immortalising the ever-chang-ing natural landscape. The spray-painted layer adds to the atmosphere of her landscapes, making them seem deeper and more real, while paradoxically appearing to be flat. The spray is applied with a loose control, matching the artist's mission to depict, rather than conquer, the landscapes she shows. While Ursprung captures a moment in nature, the contrast of her two layers (one conventional and naturalistic, one wild and abstract) reminds us that the natural world remains elusive. Unlike traditional landscape painters of the past, Ursprung does not pretend to have mastered her scenes, rather she shows them as ever-changing, unconquerable scenes deserving of our awe. These paintings are conceptually more complex than a quick once-over viewing would suggest: they're not landscapes interrupted by separate, abstract motifs, they're a completed whole, made up by a balance of the two styles. Ursprung has found a way to harmonise the two artistic approaches that appeal to her most and, by combining the abstract with the realistic, challenges us with a version of nature that is both tangible and splendid.

Una Ursprung Rose, 2021 Watercolour and Acrylic Spray on Paper Signed on verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Una Ursprung Una Ursprung's work is filled with mountains, forests, trees, and flowers. Born in Taipei, the artist has spent much of her life between Taiwan, France, and Switzerland, constantly refreshing her appreciation for sprawling natural landscapes. In these countries, Ursprung enjoyed pastoral, tranquil lifestyles which have inspired her sublime, airy works. Her canvases are dual-layered: a highly realistic natural background is superimposed by a layer of abstract detail, created using oils or acrylic spray paint. Sometimes these abstract details look like pastel oil spills; large, colourful shapes pooling on the surface. At other times, the marks made by the artist are shorter, finer lines, more like microscopic images of bacteria. The artist refers to this layer as a way to capture pollution, whether it be the man-made variety or the fleeting objects in the air, like dust, insects, or leaves, as in her forest sketches. These shapes are trapped in suspension, freezing the moment in front of us and immortalising the ever-chang-ing natural landscape. The spray-painted layer adds to the atmosphere of her landscapes, making them seem deeper and more real, while paradoxically appearing to be flat. The spray is applied with a loose control, matching the artist's mission to depict, rather than conquer, the landscapes she shows. While Ursprung captures a moment in nature, the contrast of her two layers (one conventional and naturalistic, one wild and abstract) reminds us that the natural world remains elusive. Unlike traditional landscape painters of the past, Ursprung does not pretend to have mastered her scenes, rather she shows them as ever-changing, unconquerable scenes deserving of our awe. These paintings are conceptually more complex than a quick once-over viewing would suggest: they're not landscapes interrupted by separate, abstract motifs, they're a completed whole, made up by a balance of the two styles. Ursprung has found a way to harmonise the two artistic approaches that appeal to her most and, by combining the abstract with the realistic, challenges us with a version of nature that is both tangible and splendid.

Shezad Dawood Overcast but Beautiful Watercolour on Paper Signed on verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Shezad Dawood Shezad Dawood works across the disciplines of painting, film, neon, sculpture, performance, virtual reality and other digital media to ask key questions of narrative, history and embodiment. Using the editing process as a method to explore both meanings and forms, his practice often involves collaboration and knowledge exchange, mapping across multiple audiences and communities.

"Die Abbildungen alle durch den berühmten Gerard de Lairesse nach den durch B. gefertigten Präparaten gezeichnet, haben vom artistischen Standpunkte aus grossen Werth, doch lassen sie vom anatomischen Standpunkte aus viel zu wünschen übrig, da B. nicht immer genau genug präparierte und dasjenige, was dem Maler dunkel war, durch seine Phantasie ergänzte." (H./H., auch wissenschaftl. gesehen). Vom Künstlerischen jedoch liegt die Bedeutung des Werkes für Garrison/M. u. Norman im wesentlichen in den eleganten Kupfern: "masterpieces of baroque art" (G./M.) bzw. Norman: "(Lairesse's) illustrations eerily juxtapose meticulously realistic images of flayed corpses or body parts with objects of everyday life. (they) were an occasion for an artistic meditation on anatomy.(He) brought the qualities of Dutch still-life paintings into anatomical illustrations, and gave a new darker spiritual expression to the significance of the art of dissection." - Tafel 10 (v. 2 Platten) stark lädiert, in zwei Teile mit Schäden zerfallen, jedoch von der Darst. her restaurierbar; sie war als Klapptafel eingebunden.

Two leaves from an early Psalter-Hours, with numerous penwork drolleries of a hanged man, a cow chased by a dog playing a musical instrument and others, in Latin, illuminated manuscript on parchment [Flanders, or perhaps Rhineland, third quarter of the thirteenth century] Two leaves, each with single column of 20 lines in an angular early gothic bookhand, 2-line initials in blue or gold with contrasting penwork, the leaf with modern foliation '34' in upper outer corner with a large initial 'I' (opening 'Iuste iudex ...', see below) formed from a youthful David holding a sword and standing within a green tower topped with a gold parapet, a red and green dragon biting at the foot of the tower, and another penwork dragon used as a line-filler, other geometric line-fillers in colours and gold, this leaf somewhat stained in centre, discoloured and cockled, trimmed at top removing top of parapet and at innermost edge removing part of tail of dragon; and the leaf with modern foliation '202' with penwork scene of a man being hung in the upper margin, with a figure each side drawing up ropes as he dangles from a scaffold, a cow with a bell around its neck being chased by a dog, as the cow plays a musical instrument (perhaps a hirtenschalmei, a shepherd's shawm, as often played by rustics in medieval art), and three other bird-headed drolleries, one of whom plays a similar instrument, two contemporary repairs, and similar trimming at head removing the top of the hanging scene; both overall fair and presentable condition, 177 by 134mm. Provenance:1. Produced as a lavish commission for a nun (one of the collects of another leaf mentioning 'our abbess'), most probably in Flanders or the Rhineland (with previous attempts at localisation including England, eastern France and lower Lorraine). The opulent level of decoration has been taken to suggest that the original owner of the book may have been royal.2. Broken and widely dispersed in the 1960s, with leaves in the collection of Carl Richartz, Amsterdam by 1966. A part of this dispersal was undertaken by Folio Fine Art, with leaves initially appearing there in their cat. 43 in February 1967, and the leaf foliated '202' here has an erased inscription on its reverse recording their stock number 'MS 2617', and a price: '£10.10. 0'. Alan Thomas and Maggs also sold leaves in this decade (see P. Kidd, The McCarthy Collection, II, 2019, no. 20, and the list of known leaves in Sotheby's, 7 July 2015, lot 13, not including these here).3. These leaves acquired from a UK private collector in 2006 (leaf foliated '202') and from a North American private collector in 2019 (leaf foliated '34'). Text:The two leaves here contain part of the Athanasian Creed (leaf foliated '202') and prayers, including one to Christ 'Iuste iudex ihesu Christe rex regum et domine ...' (leaf foliated '34').

* DAVID TONER (SCOTTISH B. 1944), THE HOUSE AT MIRLEES DRIVE mixed media on paper, signed and dated '85 image size 43cm x 61cm, overall size 68cm x 85cm Mounted, framed and under glass. Provenance: The late Helen E.C. Cargill Thompson. Note: Dr Helen E C Cargill Thompson (1933 - 2020) has been recognised for her contribution to both librarianship and the art world. Born in Burma in 1933, on the outbreak of World War II she returned to Glasgow to live with her grandparents in Mirrlees Drive, close to Glasgow Botanic Gardens. Her great grand-uncle was a founder of Burmah Oil Company. Her love of art developed in the city’s Kelvingrove Galleries. Dr Cargill Thompson was educated at Cheltenham Ladies College and then read Physiology and Pharmacology at St Andrews University. She went on to do a PhD at Edinburgh University which was research into the contraceptive pill. In 1970, Dr Cargill Thompson began work at the Andersonian Library at Strathclyde University, being appointed as the Head of the library’s new Reference and Information Division in 1982. Close to retirement in 1999, she was awarded the Princess Royal Medal for services to the discipline. Dr Cargill Thompson’s collecting and patronage was in the family tradition. A well-known character in the West of Scotland, especially at exhibition openings and private views. She lived frugally using public transport around the city and never viewed her passion for collecting art as a monetary investment. Dr Cargill Thompson was a truly public-spirited Glaswegian and throughout her time at Strathclyde University she supported the Collins Gallery (closed 2013) and in 1999 she gifted a substantial part of her collection of contemporary art to the University and a portion of her contemporary silver collection to The Glasgow School of Art.

Nocentini derives his inspiration from the landscapes of his native country. His work has a lyrical effect of remarkable intensity, beauty and vitality. His subjects are drawn from nature and hold an organic quality that is the founding strength of all his work.

Broschüre (Abb.).- Ausst.Kat.: Sam Francis. Les années parisiennes 1950–1961, Galerie nationale du Jeu de Paume, Paris 1995, S. 39 (Abb.).In den letzten Monaten seines Lebens entstanden, zählt Sam Francis’ vorliegendes Gemälde zur Serie der "Last Works", die allesamt eine wilde Demonstration seines künstlerischen Schaffenswillen widerspiegeln und vom typisch meisterhaften Umgang des Künstlers mit Farbe geprägt sind.1994 durchlebt Francis eine unfreiwillige kreative Pause. Durch seine Krebserkrankung wird eine Lähmung der rechten Hand verursacht, ausserdem ist er für mehrere Monate an den Rollstuhl gefesselt. Da er es sich zur Gewohnheit gemacht hat, mit beiden Händen zu malen, empfindet er es anfangs als sehr unangenehm, nur die linke Hand zu benutzen. Während dieser schwierigen Zeit realisiert der Künstler etwa 170 Gemälde auf Leinwand und Papier, von denen heute 152 erhalten sind ("The Last Works"). Jedem davon wird unverkennbar mit individuellem Datum seiner Fertigstellung auf der Rückseite ein besonderer Stellenwert im Spätwerk des Künstlers zugesprochen. Das vorliegende Werk lässt nichts von Francis’ körperlicher und psychischer Schwäche erahnen, lässt es uns doch in gewohnter Manier an einem visuellen Drama von ursprünglicher Kraft teilhaben. Vor nahezu schneeweisen Hintergrund legt er opulente, aus ozeanischem Blau sich überschneidende Linien, die mit energischen, die gesamte Komposition einnehmenden, tiefroten Spritzern kontrastieren. Francis’ Werk verkörpert in doppelter Hinsicht einen Gegensatz: Die beiden hier verwendeten Primärfarben Rot und Blau finden sich in einem Konflikt zwischen Ordnung und Unordnung, Struktur und Chaos. Denn während die blauen Linien Struktur und Einheit auf der Leinwand verkörpern, stiften die wirren Rottöne auf der Oberfläche des Werkes ein unbändiges Spektakel. Mit dem vorliegenden Werk schafft Sam Francis eines der letzten spektakulären Arrangements von Farbe und Form, die, wie der Künstler gegen seine unheilbare Erkrankunggegen, gegen die weisse Fläche anzukämpfen scheinen und hinterlässt mit unmissverständlicher Lebendigkeit seine Spuren auf der Leinwand.
