•RACHEL HOWARD (b. 1969) 'Black Dog' signed lower left, lithograph, 60cm x 42cm (unframed)Sometime assistant to Damien Hirst, Rachel Howard is known for her deeply expressive paintings of figures that seem to be made of shadows. Howard's signature style is achieved by applying paint to the canvas and allowing to run downward, using a brush to form haunting images, both representational and abstract, amid the resulting striations and haze. Her preferred material is house paint; as it separates it creates a layer of varnish that lends her work its seductive high glossProvenance: The Bob Cosford Collection of Contemporary and Street Art​

•DAMON ROBERTS (b. c.1974) 'This is Acid' signed limited edition silk screen, the image 36cm x 30.25cm (unframed)Damon Roberts is a contemporary artist, screen printer, and man behind Glass Siren Studio, a print facility established to produce complex print works. Fascinated by music and album cover art, and inspired by artists Yves Klein and Bridget Riley, Roberts' aesthetic is fuelled by forms of tactility and dynamism. His practice over the last decade has tended towards the abstract and the experimental, where the energy of ideas fuses with the chance nature of trial and error, to produce a truly organic and meditative range of print works, each with a complex story to tell. Within Glass Siren Studio, Roberts has custom built his own printing press, where he hand produces each silkscreen, working with traditional inks and additives on paper as well as an array of personally developed specialist techniques. The process is intimate and intense, and each work of art is the product of a long and physically involved journey, from initial sketch to finished formProvenance: The Bob Cosford Collection of Contemporary and Street Art​
