Ryan Mosley Untitled, 2020 Ink and Pastel on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.)Mosley synthesizes art-historical themes, styles, and movements into surreal, folk-inspired paintings that are wholly contemporary, yet appear timeless. Mosley does not sketch his paintings beforehand, instead treating his paintbrush as a pencil to build large-scale images through layers of translucent washes for a batik quality. This spontaneous technique results in theatrical spaces and fantastic scenes, at once whimsical and tragic, ambiguous and intriguing. Mosley's work features recurring images of heads and masks, as well as harlequin-inspired, diamond patterned clothing, which serve as liberated and somber symbols of carnival and release. Mosley's "Southern Banjo," for example, features a minstrel playing a banjo underneath a tree. Isolated yet confident, Mosley's figure merges a Wild West appearance with stylistic elements culled from Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, Edgar Degas, Jean-Antoine Watteau, and Pierre Bonnard.   Ryan Mosley (b. Chesterfield, UK, 1980) trained at the University of Huddersfield and Royal College of Art, London; the artist lives and works in Sheffield, UK. Recent solo presentations include From the Verges, Galerie EIGEN + ART Leipzig/Berlin (2017); Anatomy and the Wall, Alison Jacques Gallery, London (2016); The Mirror Never Reflects, Eigen + Art, Berlin (2015); Susanne Vielmetter Projects, Los Angeles (2014); Thoughts of Man, Tierney Gardarin, New York (2013); Reversed Limbo, Eigen + Art, Berlin (2012), Alison Jacques Gallery, London (2011) and Painting Séance, Grand Arts, Kansas City (2010).   His work has featured in significant group shows including Walls Have Ears, Aston Hall Museum, Birmingham, UK, Malevolent Eldritch Shrieking, Attercliffe™, Sheffield, UK, Everything Flows, Millennium Gallery: Museums Sheffield, UK (2017); A New kitchen Sink, Josh Lilley Gallery, London, UK (2017); Ready for the Stage Act 1 (1900-2016), Arp Museum Bahnhof Rolandseck, Germany (2016); Painters' Painters, Saatchi Gallery, London (2016); One Day, Something Happens: Paintings of People, Hayward touring exhibition (2015); June: A Painting Show, Sadie Coles HQ, London (2015); The Islanders, Galerie Mikael Andersen, Copenhagen (2015); Zero Hours, S1 Artspace, Sheffield (2013); Nightfall, Modem Museum, Hungary (2012); London Twelve: Contemporary British Art, City Gallery, Prague (2012); Summer Exhibition, Royal Academy of Arts, London (2012); Merging Bridges, Museum of Modern Art, Baku (2012); and Newspeak: British Art Now, Saatchi Gallery, London (2010).   His work is included in Vitamin P3: New Perspectives in Painting published by Phaidon (2016); Picturing People published by Thames & Hudson (2015) and 100 Painters of Tomorrow published by Thames & Hudson (2014).   Mosley's work is part of the Arts Council Collection, UK; The Saatchi Collection, London and Falckenberg Collection, Hamburg.

Ariel Vargassal To Whom Who Wears the Crown II, 2020 Acrylic and 24k Gold Leaf on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Ariel Vargassal was born into a richly mixed culture family. These cultural singularities introduced Ariel to undeniable senses of style. He always leaned towards the arts and when he did not mold small clay sculptures, he turned to countless drawings in his notebook. Therefore, it was logical that Ariel followed a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of Mexico. In studying the works of the great artist who preceded him, his passion ignited and his determination proved unstoppable. Upon graduation, Ariel became one of the youngest teachers to teach art at a high school at Mexico City, and had the opportunity to showcase his work in different places, including the prestigious "Polyforum Cultural Siqueiros".   His first international exhibition was in Salt Lake City, Utah during the Winter Olympic Games as a host of the city, representing the visual arts of Mexico. After this exhibition, Ariel received invitations to showcase her work in area galleries as well as offers elsewhere in the US, so she decided to move to Los Angeles. Vargassal's work has been seen in various digital publications, books and television programs. In addition, he has been fortunate to work with young Hollywood stars as his models and clients.   Apart from Mexico City, Salt Lake City and Los Angeles, Ariel has shown her work in Arizona, San Francisco and New York. He is a member of the Los Angeles Art Association, one of the oldest and most prestigious art associations on the West Coast. He worked with International Curators in early 2013, his work was presented at the International Surrealism of Lisbon, Portugal, and recently received invitations to exhibit in Montreal, Canada (Galerie Gora, art contemporain), Germany (the Contemporary Museum of Berlin) and France.

Ruth Philo From the Virgin's Robe I, 2020 Raw Pigments and Binder on Unstretched Canvas Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) My paintings combine experiences of inner and outer worlds, essentially paintscapes of thought, feeling and intuition. Toughly material, I often work with pigments and binders that feel close to the earth. These pieces were made during lockdown, in confinement and isolation, and explore blue pigments like ultramarine and cobalt. Blue, the colour of distance, memory, time, sky, sea, and the Virgin's robes; this series explores its history, beauty and associations.   I live and work in Sudbury, Suffolk and have a BA History of Art, University of Warwick and MA Fine Art, Norwich University of the Arts. My work has been selected for the Jerwood Drawing Prize and Royal Academy Summer exhibition and is in several collections worldwide. I regularly exhibit in the UK and abroad and am a member of Contemporary British Painting.

Kelly-Anne Davitt Sweet Love, 2020 Oil on Canvas Board Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.)   "I like painting the heart throb sweet for Art on a Postcard, I use it as a symbol of life and living. I often paint sweets, they are a vehicle for me to paint many different forms, shapes, textures and colours. Sweet love oil painting, explores cultural imagery and is a reaction to our current circumstances. When the threat of loss is so close, love for the important people in our lives is intensified.   Bum Shot and Pink Bum Shot Mini limited edition prints explore themes of empowerment, having faith, strength and courage in the face of adversity. A nod to this unprecedented pandemic and the challenges we have all faced during lockdown and a celebration of my curatorial debut 'The Most Powerful Woman In The Universe' which was held at Gallery 46 in Whitechapel last year."   A young British artist, painter and feminist, Kelly-Anne Davitt was selected by the National Portrait Gallery to exhibit in the BP Portrait Awards, immediately after graduating from London Guildhall University with a degree in Fine Art.

Through her oil paintings exploring the hyper-sexual images of women found online and within media, rendered realistically and with playful pop tones, Kelly achieves a contemporary approach and attitude to the time-honoured female nude. She also uses light text sculpture to re-enforce the ideas within her paintings. Taking text that amuses and outrages her from tabloids and magazines and re-appropriating them to illuminate the ridiculous, absurd and humorous. These themes remain dominant in Kelly's work. She currently lives and works in London.

Jonni Cheatwood Hot Legzzz, 2020 Acrylic on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Jonni Cheatwood is a Brazilian-American visual artist working across many different disciplines including painting, photography, graphic design and textile art.   Cheatwood's work describes the broad visual ideas stemming from still life, abstraction and minimalism, but his approach is a wonderful amalgam of his artistic disciplines in which veritable scraps of canvas are hand-sewn together before his idiosyncratic mark-making is thereafter applied to the newly created surface. Denim, mesh, burlap sacks, t-shirts, blankets, t-shirts, screen-prints, and even his father's worn leather satchel have all made their way into his work at one time or another. The graffiti-like scribbles, scratches and primitive colours of Cheatwood's work is the controlled chaotic work of an erudite expressionist brought up on Saturday morning cartoons; suggesting deconstructed contour lines and bright, unforgiving primary colours often applied directly from the tube or oversize pastel. Beginning with direct marks, squiggles and doodles, Cheatwood reacts and builds up his compositions over time, working with the studio detritus that can build up as a result of working on the floor and from the physical nature of his process - allowing this to become part of his formation of the work. The many references housed in his work - whether intentional or unintentional - seem like a patchwork of Cheatwood's own autobiography - and the works come across like humorous albeit highly personalized recollections of his life at various times.   Jonni Cheatwood (b. 1986, Thousand Oaks, CA) lives and works in Los Angeles, California. He graduated from Arizona State University, Tempe, in 2011. Solo exhibitions include: ' Fresh Out of Fiddles', Makasiini Contemporary, Turku, Finland (2020); 'Tyger Tyger', Urban Spree, Berlin, Germany (2019); 'That's Dallas Baby, Artual Gallery, Beirut, Lebanon (2019); 'Dressed Up for the Letdown', Over the Influence, Hong Kong, (2018); 'She's Heavy on the Razzmatazz', MAKASIINI CONTEMPORARY, Turku, Finland (2018) and; 'Same Hero, New Boots', TW Fine Art, Brisbane, Australia (2018).

Amy Bessone Small Refuge 1, 2020 Mixed Media on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) The work of American artist Amy Bessone draws on representations of the female figure throughout history. Described by Bessone as "feminine archetypes", these subjects form a central component of her paintings and sculptures, and reflect a range of sources, including ancient marble nudes, Renaissance reliefs and personal souvenirs. As the focal point of her evocative and playful landscapes, the artist's longstanding engagement with the female form relates to her desire to develop an artistic practice that is accessible. As she has commented, "what is more universally relatable than the human body?"
Bessone's meditations are informed by an interest to subvert existing portrayals of women in the cultural sphere, and the artist is equally passionate about citing art historical tropes which may appear in opposition to contemporary feminist ideals.

Jonas Burgert Log, 2020 Graphite on Paper Signed recto 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Jonas Burgert is a contemporary German artist working in darkly comic, large-scale paintings. He is best known for his use of animals and people as ornamentation, often portraying them in the midst of ritual acts such as in Second Day Nothing (2008). Burgert's work has been compared to Hieronymous Bosch for its fantastical and tortured imagery, and his frequent use of North African motifs, which is inspired by a period when the artist lived in Egypt. Born in 1969 in West Berlin, Germany, he graduated from the Berlin Academy of Fine Arts in 1996 with his earliest works consisting of series of fractal images created collaboratively with the artist Ingolf Keiner. Burgert's first solo exhibition was at the Produzentengalerie Hamburg in 2006, and he has since been widely shown, including solo shows at the Denver Museum of Contemporary Art in 2008 and the Blain Southern Gallery in London, in 2014.

Imam Raad Gaze (Zipolite), 2020 Acrylic on Paper Signed verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) Iman Raad (Mashhad, Iran 1979) received his MFA in Painting and Printmaking from Yale University (2017), and was the Shandaken Projects' Paint School fellow (2017-18). He is currently a resident at the Queens Museum Studio Program, and an adjunct faculty at The Cooper Union School of Art. He lives and works in New York City.   Iman Raad works across a variety of media, including painting, drawing, embroidery, graphic work and performance lectures. In these diverse works, he draws on influences such as Persian painting, Mughal painting, South-Asian Truck painting and internet image culture. He combines these local references with contemporary subject matter to create his mural-like installations. Using a vivid, high key palette, altered perspective, and repetition that mimics digital glitches, the result is a riot of colour and movement that is both seductive and unsettling. Traditionally ornamental elements such as birds, fruits and flowers are recalibrated into subjects that carry narrative import and are given animate, unnatural presences. These are intertwined with social events and historical moments rendered in fantastical ways to draw in the viewer.   Aside from painting, Raad is also an internationally acknowledged graphic designer, included in The Phaidon archive of five hundred designs that matter, representing the contemporary Persian graphic design movement.   His recent solo exhibitions include Sargent's Daughters Gallery, New York (2021 -forthcoming), In Her Sweetest, Saddest Plight, Dastan Gallery at Frieze New York (2020), Tongue Tied, Sargent's Daughters Gallery, New York (2017) and Forty Drawings and So, Dastan Gallery, Tehran (2016).

Tracks from bands such as The Darkness, Oasis and The Rolling Stones become vibrant bands of color, and bridge compositional concepts between seemingly unlike disciplines. Although Bavington has a method that designates sound to color and composition, the paintings are not literal translations; they remain open to intuition and decision-making, allowing for a distinct artistic presence.   Tim Bavington (b. 1966, England) received his BFA from the Art Center (CA) before making the permanent move to Las Vegas, where he completed his MFA at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (NV).

Tim Bavington Last Night 1, 2020 Watercolour and Pencil on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Music is the genesis of Tim Bavington's paintings. Through synthetic polymer paint, Bavington acts as a translator between the aural and the visual as he transforms guitar solos, melodies and bass lines into vertical bands of color. Tracks from bands such as The Darkness, Oasis and The Rolling Stones become vibrant bands of color, and bridge compositional concepts between seemingly unlike disciplines. Although Bavington has a method that designates sound to color and composition, the paintings are not literal translations; they remain open to intuition and decision-making, allowing for a distinct artistic presence.   Tim Bavington (b. 1966, England) received his BFA from the Art Center (CA) before making the permanent move to Las Vegas, where he completed his MFA at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (NV).

Bill Adams Untitled, 2020 Ballpoint Pen and Watercolour on Paper Signed verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) Bill Adams is an American Post-war & Contemporary artist was born in 1957. He studied Fine Art at Indiana University, Bloomington in 1986, and his work has been featured in numerous exhibitions at key galleries and museums, including the White Columns and the 56 Henry.   Bill Adams is known for his obsessive drawings in ballpoint pen that offer a roster of furry creatures in simple perspectival landscapes. While they are not anatomically aligned with known animals, they possess a surprising power to solicit our interest and empathy. What is their condition exactly? Like staring sentinels, they express a cartoon version of existential anxiety-watchful, hopeful, sad, stoic, and bewildered. Their lower bodies seem to be merged with the ground, fixing them in place like monuments. The intimate scale of these works and their accumulation of short pen strokes are reminiscent of the dense vision of Leonardo Da Vinci's "deluge drawings," and their compositions owe something to the surreal elegance of Salvador Dali's imagery. The unmistakable blue palette brings to mind bored students with Bic pens, filling the pages of their notebooks with fantastic beings.

Oliver Dorrell Pool Party, 2020 Gouache, Watercolour and Ink on Postcard Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) British artist Oliver Dorrell is a gifted storyteller, his strange yet intimately fascinating tales of travel to places such as India and North Caucasus offer unique insight into the experience of the world. So too Dorrell's colourful paintings seem a translation of sorts, a fantastic and painterly view into hidden places. The artist's pictures are distinguished by a sense of imaginative narrative and are rich tapestries of folktales, mythologies and impressionistic travel vignettes. Symbolic landscapes and figures evoke a sense of mystic interludes and the artist frequently draws upon imagery from regional religious imagery, terrain and the intersections of culture and experience. Because Dorrell studied anthropology he brings to his work, a knowledgeable and yet simultaneously open mindset that allows him to take in the idea of influence, preconceived notions, meaning and as well understand the complexity of the view of the traveller or the interloper. Through this process emerges a series of pictures that are often compared to the work of Marc Chagall and yet represent a contemporary world of symbiotic experience, place and tradition.   The artist holds his MA with Distinction, Painting, Wimbledon College of Arts, University of the Arts, London and his BSC, Anthropology, University College London. Dorrell has participated in a number of group shows including at Blasé, London 2019 and 2018; Lewisham Art House, London, 2018; Wimbledon College of Art MA Show, London, 2018.

Eric Inkala 6 Eyes in Blue, 2020 Acrylic on Paper Signed recto 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) Brooklyn-based Eric Inkala is a self-taught artist whose highly visual and ever-evolving style has ripened from graffiti to pop art to contemporary art. His work presents a playful graphic language in the form of a signature character who serves as a vehicle for an autobiographical narrative. It's through this personal storyline that Inkala is able to channel thoughts and emotions into expressions of shape, colour and text. His universally approachable concept is amplified through increasingly complex patterns and symmetry,which over the years have reflected both the abstract escapades of his trademark character and Inkala's own artistic journey. Working primarily in acrylic, his paintings vary in size from large-scale canvas to sculpture, prints and small works on paper.   Eric Inkala was born in Minneapolis, MN. His work has been exhibited nationally at galleries such as THIS Gallery (CA), Parlour Gallery (NJ), Public Functionary (MN), Joseph Gross Gallery (NYC) and most recently at Cass Contemporary (FL) Scope Miami beach and Blackbook gallery in Denver Colorado. His work has also been presented internationally, most recently at Gallery Poulsen in Copenhagen Denmark. Inkala murals have covered walls in Minneapolis, Palm Springs, and at the Ace Hotel in New York City.

"The year 1812 saw the publication of one of the more remarkable illustrated books ever to appear in France. Titled 'Anatomie du gladiateur combattant,' it was inspired by contemporary rhetoric celebrating the role of the arts in the new post-revolutionary society. At the same time, it was a magnificent display of hard-won knowledge of human anatomy and a tribute to medical science" (Jean-Galbert Salvage and His Anatomie du gladiateur combattant: Art and Patronage inPost-Revolutionary France, Raymond Lifchez in: Metropolitan Museum Journal 44, 2009, p. 163). Salvage (1772-1813) was an army surgeon, anatomist, and skilled draftsman. He created three monumental écorchés, i.e. casts of human bodies represented without skin. He used the bodies of soldiers "in their prime" who were killed in duels, rather than patients who died as a result of illness. Salvage arranged his cadavers in the same pose as the Borghese Gladiator sculpture and meticulously worked out the skeletal and muscular anatomy. Salvage's écorchés are preserved at the Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts. This copy is enhanced by the inclusion of the counterproof plates, which show an important stage between Salvage's original drawings and the finished engraving. A counterproof is a proof of a proof - the artist takes an impression from the engraved plate and while it is still wet lays another piece of paper over it and runs it through the press, creating a counterproof. Because the original proof is the mirror image of the plate, the counterproof is the mirror image of a mirror image, so that the image is aligned the same way it is on the plate. The artist can draw on the counterproof and work from that to the plate without having to reverse the image. The counterproofs here do not show the titles or captions, which were added later.

They are incredibly rare. Abstract in Brown, White, Pink and Ochre (1951-2) dates to the earliest part of the decade and is accompanied with impressive exhibition history, having been included in the artist's major Tate retrospective in 1965 amongst other shows. Like Ben Nicholson (who was fourteen years his senior) during the early 1920s, Pasmore had flirted with abstraction at a specific moment in the early 1930s before he founded the Euston Road School. He joined the London Artists' Association in 1933 and with Sir William Coldstream and Claude Rogers participated in Zwemmer Gallery's notable 1934 show, Objective Abstractions. Only, Pasmore's contribution to the exhibition was not abstract but instead showed the influence of the Fauves and Cubists; Matisse and Picasso being the sources of his early inspiration. Unfortunately, the handful of abstract works Pasmore produced following the show, partly guided by Ben Nicholson's new avant-garde approach to his painting, were destroyed by him. As the decade wore on and Pasmore established his teaching, first at Fitzroy Street then Euston Road, pupils were directed to the naturalistic aesthetic of Degas, Cézanne, Sickert and Bonnard. Up until the mid-1940s this is the direction Pasmore's painting travelled in, but as the war drew to an end, experimentation began to re-appear. His Hammersmith paintings of the late 1940s show evidence of his interest in Seurat's Pointillism and Cezanne's later work with the use of multiple perspectives. Despite this, Pasmore felt unconvinced with his progress, and Ronald Alley in his introduction to Tate's retrospective exhibition describes the change which then occurred:'Therefore, in 1948 he decided to make a fresh start with abstract art and to explore all its possibilities in a completely scientific way, finding out what happened when one started with a square or a spiral or so on. He read the writings of Kandinsky, Mondrian, Arp and the other leading abstract artists, just as he had previously read those by the post-impressionists, and even made a compilation Abstract Art: Comments by some Artists and Critics, which was privately printed at the Camberwell School of Art in 1949. Knowledge of the post-war Parisian and American abstract movements had not reached England at the time and Pasmore's development was completely independent of them.' (Ronald Alley, Victor Pasmore, Retrospective exhibition 1925-65, Tate Publishing, 1965).To begin with, Pasmore's abstraction involved collages and two-dimensional paintings such as the present work with its complex colours, shapes and forms encased within an oval as a reflection on his dissatisfaction with the closed rectangle of easel painting. The first constructed reliefs had begun to appear by 1948 and were exhibited at Fitzroy Street in March 1952 and Redfern Gallery in May of the same year. Many of these and other works were sadly destroyed by the artist and opportunities to acquire examples such as Abstract in Brown, White, Pink and Ochre seldom present themselves.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Thousands of Londoners pass it every day, and it is one of the very few contemporary public sculptures in London that seems to be liked and appreciated by the public'. (Elisabeth Frink; Sculpture Since 1984 and Drawings, Art Books International, London, 1994, p.50).Whilst Frink's varied and extensive output has since been the subject of at least seven major museum exhibitions, many more gallery shows and several publications including a complete catalogue raisonné, it remains the case that in the public's mind the motif of horse and rider is still synonymous with Frink. Considering that she sculpted many more horses without riders, it is testament to the power of such an emotionally accessible motif that such works are so indelibly etched on our perception of her sculpture. This has only been further reinforced by the relocation of the above mentioned commission to the more prominent location of number 1 New Bond Street. The present variation of the horse and rider is described by Lucie-Smith as 'The most striking treatment of this motif from her last decade... intense and deeply felt.' (ibid). He elaborates that 'unlike nearly all her previous riders, this one is clothed. He wears bulky garments, and his head is enveloped in a hood. His features are much more individualized than is the case with Frink's nude horsemen: the spectator feels that he or she is in the presence of a real person. This impression is reinforced by the way in which the posture as well as the features are scrutinized. The rider sits on his horse very easily and confidently. His shoulders are slightly slumped but the impression he makes is one of great alertness. Face and posture alike make it probable that the sculpture was inspired by her third husband, Alex Csáky. Csáky came from an aristocratic Hungarian family; the history of Hungary was, so to speak, in his blood. Horseman could be read as a representation of a nomadic Magyar rider, roaming the Hungarian plains, only half-civilized, always on the lookout for conquest.'

From the early 1950s the artist had made the decision to devote himself to constructed reliefs and they were a constant theme through the following decades. Unfortunately, a significant number of the early reliefs made from experimental materials such as wood, plastic and aluminium were destroyed. Pasmore was naturally aware of Ben Nicholson's celebrated painted reliefs (owning a small example himself) which were carved in shallow space and seemingly from slabs of solid board. However, Pasmore was intent on assembling his constructions from laths and sheets of machine-made, mass produced materials. In the present work, the artist has utilised perspex for example, a strong yet lightweight thermoplastic that is transparent and roots his work alongside current technological advances. This concept was largely indebted to the American abstract artist Charles Biederman who believed that the logical progression from Mondrian's reduction of nature to its simplest form was into the real space of the constructed relief.In the present work, the square perspex frames a complex assembly of painted wood at varying positions and angles within a larger composition that is carefully balanced. The uniform black lines moving across the work is a 'development', which Pasmore in his own words described as an 'organic process' which 'suggests an element of movement and infinity' (Victor Pasmore quoted in Alastair Grieve, Victor Pasmore, Tate Publishing, London, 2010, p.108).This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
