Luna has been created to represent folk law surrounding hares and The Moon. Luna is painted all over with a celestial theme. A Prussian Blue base, with grasses and wildflowers around her haunches representing morning, moving through a gold starry night sky to the gently glowing golden full moon on her forehead. Her three crescent moons represent the power of 3: the past, the present and the future. Artist: Nicola WarnerNicola is an eclectic artist mindfully creating whimsical watercolours and mixed media pieces, with a love of gold. Nicola's abstract art is often highly textured and many pieces feature her signature gold/brass leaf in amongst the mixed media and collages to which she is drawn. Conversely, some of her smaller 'lighter' pieces feature vintage inspired watercolours and home-made botanical inks. Intuitive, and using a varied colour palette, her work appeals to a variety of tastes. Nicola is also a keen photographer and uses her digital skills to create wall art. Sponsor: Clarke & SimpsonClarke and Simpson are a multi-disciplined independent and progressive firm of chartered surveyors.  We deal in all aspects of rural property and are one of the leading firms of auctioneers in the county of Suffolk.

Arcipluvia displays a kaleidoscopic hill scene wrapped around the shell of the tortoise. Arcipluvia means rainbow, and so a ROYGBIV rainbow is included amongst the other colourful hills, for viewers to find, in appreciation of the NHS and everything good that the rainbow represents. Artist: Daisy Carrick-SmithParticipating in the trail for a third year, Daisy is an artist who delights in any opportunity to partake in creative projects. Her current series depicts a self-created, imagined world called Arcipluvia, the eponym of her tortoise. Arcipluvia is a name derived from the word 'Arcipluvian' - translating to 'arch of rain' or 'rainbow' - meaning multi-coloured. Arcipluvia, the tortoise, serves to spread joy, hope, thanks and support, embodying everything good that a rainbow represents. In 2015, winning a Top 20 place in the Deutsche Bank Art Prize, the Saatchi Gallery exhibited Daisy's artwork twice, the second time, alongside the Rolling Stones in 2016 Sponsor: CDO DigitalAt CDO Digital, we pride ourselves on working closely with clients, and bringing their visions to life.

Matthew Carver (Canadian, b.1968). 'Chuo Dori', 2005. Acrylic on canvas, 244 x 340 cm. Provenance: From a reputable private collection. Acquired directly from the artist by the present owner in 2005. Literature: Saatchi Gallery Loan of Art, published by Saatchi Gallery, London, 2006 pp.33. From Saatchi Gallery Loan of Art, pp.32: Carver paints distorted views of city streets at night, based on his own digital photographs taken around the world. As if fleetingly glimpsed in your rear-view mirror or seen as a reflection in a window, his paintings capture the transient nature of city live. Carver employs art historical techniques such as anamorphosis to manipulate his images, and the work often needs external devices such as reflective cylinders to be seen distortion-free.

TAMAR DE VRIES WINTER: a silver and enamel beakerLondon 2008 With a flaring lip, the sides enamelled in a wave design over a linear ground, height 9cm, weight 10oz.Footnotes:Born in Jerusalem to a family of immigrants from Europe, Tamar was trained in the UK, where she lives and practices her work. Personal memories inspired by two cultures have had a major impact on her life and career as an enameller, jeweller and silversmith. The art of enamelling is central to her work. Digital technology—printing and fusing her own photographic images onto her metalwork—has enabled her to transform her ideas into objects that tell a story. Her interest in the marking of important life events with objects led her to create a range of ceremonial work.Tamar's work has been commissioned and collected both by private individuals and public institutions: the Victoria and Albert Museum (which recently acquired her 'Fragment' Bowl), the Jewish Museums in London and in New York, and the National Museum of Scotland. In addition to teaching in the UK and abroad, since 1996 Tamar is a co-director of Studio Fusion, a London gallery dedicated to contemporary vitreous enamel.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Celina Teague What You Lookin At, 2021 Gouache on Paper Signed on verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Teague's paintings take their cue from current affairs - particularly events that affect the wellbeing of the planet, such as bush fires, rainforest destruction, poaching and climate-change-denying politicians. She is equally interested by the dissemination of information in the digital era; how it affects the way we interpret and handle crisis events. She asks whether armchair activism is a dangerously false economy or better than no activism at all. Teague currently lives and works in Portugal.

Luke Elwes Spring, 2021 Mixed Media on Paper Signed on verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) Luke Elwes was born in London (1961) and spent his early years in Iran, where the light and space of the desert were a formative influence. Luke Elwes' paintings are meditations on our place in the world. They often refer to particular journeys and to the passing of time. Education He holds degrees from Bristol University (1983) and UAL (Camberwell school of Art 1985), and completed his Masters in Art History at London University (Birkbeck) in 2007. Following a spell working at Christie's he began to travel and write, and after meeting Bruce Chatwin in 1987 he went to the central Australian desert to explore the landscape and its use in indigenous storytelling and artforms. Since then he has continued to travel extensively, discovering and revisiting remote locations in India, Asia and North Africa. In 1998 he was artist in residence on an expedition to Mount Kailash, a holy mountain in western Tibet. Since 2000 he has worked for extensive periods on an island off the East Coast of the UK. In 2013 he was awarded a grant to study at the Vermont Studio Center and in 2015 he was resident artist at the Albers Foundation (USA). The idea of a journey is central to his painting, both its physical and temporal unfolding and its recollection in memory. The surfaces recall maps, tracing the marks of history and the fragile signs of belief, and moving between what is revealed and concealed of these often empty and distant terrains. Rooted in the particular, the images also probe an interior space. The art critic Andrew Lambirth has written about them: 'The map is nearly erased, a distressed palimpsest; it is difficult to decipher a single clear meaning. The viewer must, like a scryer, read the signs and interpret accordingly'. More recently the writer Robert Macfarlane has described how 'they hover between encryption and archetype, enigma and fabulous openness' Exhibitions Since 1990 his work has been exhibited in the following galleries: Frestonian Gallery (London), Adam Gallery (London), Broadbent (London), Art First Contemporary (London), Browse & Darby (London), Art First (New York), Galerie Vieille du Temple (Paris), Galerie Marceau Bastille (Paris), Grand Palais (Paris), Palazzo Lanfranchi (Pisa), Galleria Ceribelli (Milan & Bergamo), Galleria Ghelfi (Vicenza). He has participated in shows at the following UK institutions: Royal Academy London, Christies London, Barbican Gallery London, National Trust, Estorick Collection London, Kettles Yard Cambridge, Southampton Art Gallery, Bury Art Gallery Manchester, Young Gallery Salisbury, Minories Colchester. He has also written about contemporary art for journals including Modern Painters, Royal Academy Magazine, Galleries Magazine, Abstract Critical and other digital platforms. In 2011 he was invited to give an 'Artist's Eye' talk at the National Gallery.

Paul Hodgson Portrait of E, 2021 Pencil and Acrylic on Paper Signed on verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Paul Hodgson creates hybrid works that incorporate photography, digital print and paint, and that defy neat categorization. His work is indebted to the history of Western painting, and certain of his earlier works reference the colours, lighting, and figurative poses of iconic art historical works, but they are manipulated and restructured to bring to the fore a contemporary reading of the image. Subsequent works have seen Hodgson concentrate on historical epochs of expansion and transition, using the conventions of portraiture and figure painting to construct large-scale tableaux vivant - alongside intimate studio portraits - to explore moments of great change, but also of ambiguous merit. In recent works, he has chosen to use a relatively confined space in which to construct each scene. Working with a set of simple objects, his focus has been the placement and positioning of objects and figures in space (and in front of a camera) as a means to explore notions of gesture and intentionality within the process of image making. These works operate in an area between painting and photography, both in terms of the language that they employ and the process through which they have been made.

I like the immediacy and fluidity that working on paper can offer - the unexpected results that can occur when you use various media together, or the simplicity of limiting yourself to a few simple materials. These two portraits were made partly from observation and partly from photographs. They might appear as stages in a process - from concise and pared down, to layered and complex. They are indicative of the 'push and pull' that often happens when I'm making images in the studio.

Kate Dunn Don Dada, 2021 Spray Paint and Oil Bar on Paper Signed on verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Kate Dunn makes work pulling on themes of renaissance, rave, light and sacred space, to create varying environments of worship. Since 2018 she has used structures reminiscent of the altar to discuss the internal archive one experiences when faced with such a shape. Recently she moved into multi-sensory experience as a means to address her concern with the potential to be passive in the age of information overload.

(Ortelius Drew)   About the Postcards   Silver Linings, Warrior Clouds (2021) This new body of work builds on two previous series: 'Excess All Areas' (2019) where I was interested in exploring excess: overflowing vessels pour forth their contents and offer a vehicle to visualise the rhythm and energy of overflow and inundation. 'Around and Around' (2020) was an attempt to visualise journeys into and across slippery spaces. This new work returns to representation, these are recognisably clouds, their volumes punctured with slivers of paper woven into and through the surface. I see these slivers as dynamic lines, swords or daggers: ready to fight, but they can also been seen as mending a whole, the holding together of both sides of the cloud. The clouds and their silver linings represent possibility and hope.

2012/2016 Wadkin-Snaith Brooklands Sprint SpecialTotally artisan built 500cc sprint machine constructed on the lines of a 1920’s Brooklands race bikeThe creation of specialist engineer Carl Wadkin-Snaith over a period of 4 years No castings were used for the engine and gearbox as all components were machined from solid using non C&C machines From the owner: A more complete version of this is available on Easy Live Auction.I selected the Suzuki DR800 engine as a donor for it's huge 90mm stroke and purchased one from a breaker on eBay. The plan was to use a Velocette piston for a long stroke 500cc. But on stripping the engine it turned out to be a 750 with 6mm shorter stroke, at this point my Father unfortunately died and returning the engine was obviously not a priority, so when work started again a Yamaha SR500 piston was selected for 500cc.CAD design work began in April 2012. Much midnight oil was spent with my artist's hat on to arrive at an aesthetically pleasing result, for example the cant of the engine was varied in 2° increments back and forth until I was happy.The DR engine has conventional modern gear primary drive on the right and rotates forward, I needed chain primary on the left to look period correct: As a consequence the engine had to rotate backwards, driving the upside down, flipped over DR gearbox internals in reverse for forward motion! It all sounds a little unlikely, but the gearbox dogs are not undercut and I'm relieved to say it all worked fine.Metal cutting began in late June 2012, no castings are used, everything carved from solid billet on my manual milling machines and lathes (no CNC). A vast amount of time was spent hand finishing the billetparts which I then bead blasted to give the illusion of castings. Much of the really tricky machining, of crankcase webs for example, was done on my trusty pre-WW2 Alexander Master Toolmaker milling machine, whereas the heavier work was completed on my large turret mill.After discovering period racing bike experiments with total loss battery ignition, it was decided to have the ignition on the end of the cam and drive the oil pump from the cam wheel. This pump is my own design; a simple feed and scavenge gear type. There are feeds to the end of the crankshaft and the camshaft/follower interface, scavenge from the bottom of the crankcase and the timing cover, the latter prevents excess oil leaking past the seal onto the digital ignition circuit board. I used the Pazon digital ignition; a very impressive unit with built in timing light and digital advance etc.I decided to go with the Mikuni Yamaha SR500 race carburettor as I hoped this would avoid aggravation setting up, this proved to be the case, only needing a change of pilot jet.The clutch was converted to chain driven dry operation by cutting off the primary drive gear and replacing it with a custom made sprocket incorporating the DR shock absorbing springs. The DR lifting mechanism is in the clutch cover, pulling the clutch off and obviously not suitable. By drilling right though the gearbox mainshaft I was able to convert the clutch to push off from the opposite side in the conventional manner. Despite now running dry the clutch works fine. Replicating the complex die cast interior of the Suzuki gearbox casing was probably the most difficult task in the whole construction saga. Initially I set the bike up with hand/knee change, partly because I had a nice piece of teak to make the knob; more on this later.The frame is my own design and manufacture and aimed at spinning the wheel rather than wheelying. I took a punt at the unidentified bare girder fork blades on eBay after no one showed interest, these were then bushed and a stem, spindles, links, yokes, steering damper etc made to suit. The spring is a modified auto jumble find. I bent the handlebars myself for the authentic Brooklands style, this proved to be a mistake as they were incredibly uncomfortable and impractical, they have since been replace with some flat bars. I was not happy with the quality of commercial classic style throttle and handlebar controls, the chrome plate just looked totally wrong too so I carved the clamps, choke control and a quick action throttle from billet steel. None period ball end levers are necessary to comply with ACU Regs.Front wheel is a from a Yamaha DT50 (21” rim) though I made a new period style backplate with anchor to suit my forks, plus an aluminium brake lever. Rear hub is from a Honda CB250RSA, much modified and laced into a 19” rim. Chainguards made to suit, the primary one having a quickly detachable outer plate as this is required for ACU competition events. I bent up the exhaust pipe with the characteristic large radius front bend myself and made the Brooklands can as the ones available just weren't right for the period, theoretically this should not protrude beyond the rear wheel for ACU sprints, though no one has noticed yet.The oil tank was a piece of cake compared to the petrol tanks: Fortunately only the right one needed to be leak free as the left is a dummy containing the Pazon ignition module, coil, ignition switch and gel battery (mounted upside down) for the total loss system. As a result the whole electrical system can be removed as one unit in minutes.This is secured with a couple of charity shop sourced leather belts.Apart from the exhaust pipe and handlebars I dull nickel plated everything myself. Fasteners are all stainless steel, the heads of commercial bolts were machined flat to be more in keeping with my period. Naturally I used slotted screws and traditional fabricinsulation tape where necessary.Since then I've refined various features, added an oil filter in the scavenge return and making primary chain adjusters. At the Brooklands Museum the bike flies up Test Hill, in fact the wide ratio DR750 gear set is ideally suited to the engine.The bike has proved an ideal publicity vehicle for my one man business resulting in some interesting projects, for example:A commission to design and build the new vintage style Wardill Motorcycle, subsequently officially launched at the Brooklands Museum in 2018, I recently completed the first production model. A one off fishtail silencer for the Perry Barwick/Brooklands Museum Freddie Clarke Triumph Tiger 80 replica, created using the only existing photo of the bike. A new billet front brake back plate incorporating improvements for a Parilla 175 MSDS racer.My Brooklands SS has been exhibited at two shows and won an award at both. It is always satisfying when older enthusiasts are thrown by the bike believing it to a genuine 20's racer, however when an auction house valuer said he could see it on display in a collector's house as a work of art I was delighted. I wonder what my Art School tutors would have thought?

He was a key figure in the revival of interest in engraving in the 1920s and was awarded the 1924 Prix de Rome, spending four years in Italy perfecting his technique. Inspired by Renaissance engravings, particularly the work of Durer, he produced a series of allegorical subjects, including Perseus which is considered to be his masterpiece.The Source depicts the imaginary guardian of the spring of life in an enchanted forest and was selected as the artist's exhibition piece at the Royal Academy in 1928. In Nymphs Bathing he depicts three figures from three different viewpoints, doubtless influenced by the figures he would have seen in Italian paintings where the artists displayed their skill in rendering different aspects of the human form within the same image.Click for an instant shipping quoteThis lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * AR* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.AR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

OSKAR KOKOSCHKA (1886-1990)Die Träumenden Knaben (The Dreaming Youths) (Wingler & Welz 22-29) The volume comprising ten lithographs (eight in colours), 1908, on wove paper, signed, dated 1967 and dedicated to Greta in pencil on the front free endpaper, numbered 183 in ink on the justification label, from the second edition of 275 copies, published in 1917 by Kurt Wolff, Leipzig, Germany, the full sheets, with pale time staining, the colours fresh and vibrant, in good overall condition, bound (as issued), with title page, text in German, within the original hessian-covered boards with lithograph in black on the front cover and black slipcaseSheets 240 x 290mm. (9 1/2 x 11 3/8in.); Volume 243 x 298mm. (9 1/2 x 11 3/4in.)Footnotes:ProvenanceGifted by the artist to Margaret Fisher.Thence by descent to the current owner.Kokoschka was a major exponent of the Expressionist movement in Austria and was one of the great colourists of the twentieth century. Die Träumenden Knaben was his first graphic work and marks an important moment early in his career, not just as a landmark illustrated artist's book, but also representing a period of transition between the traditional Viennese ornamental style and the more emotionally charged and unconventional Expressionist style, employing intense colours and distorted figures. The work combines several of the artists' influences; medieval art where several scenes are shown within one image, folk art with its bold, flat colours, Japanese art in the use of black outlines and the intricate highly decorative imagery of Secessionist Art. The work was commissioned by Fritz Wärndorfer, the Director of the Wiener Werkstätte design cooperative, for the Kunstschau arts and handicrafts exhibition in Vienna 1908, organized by Kokoschka's friend and mentor Gustav Klimt, to whom the work is dedicated. The commission had been intended as a children's fairy-tale. However, inspired by his unrequited love for Lilith, a fellow student, Kokoschka took the liberty of producing rather more adult content to accompany his poem about a young boy's dream, in which youths travel through various exotic landscapes. The poem and images reference the awakening of adolescent sexuality which was regarded as inappropriate and very few of the 500 copies were sold. In 1917 the Wiener Werkstätte publisher, Kurt Wolff, recognizing the importance of the work in the context of the Expressionist movement and seeing that Kokoschka's reputation was in the ascendant, bought the remaining 275 copies of the book and re-issued it as a bound volume.The words and images express powerful personal emotions and Kokoschka later referred to the book as 'my first love letter'. This passion for his subject, together with his dramatic use of colour and composition, mean that this is considered to be one of the most important and beautiful artist's books of the twentieth century.This copy has a handwritten dedication to Margaret Fisher (known as Greta), who worked for her aunt, Lea Bondi-Jaray, one of the foremost dealers in Expressionist Art, first at the Galerie Würthle in pre-war Vienna and later in London, having fled the Nazi occupation in 1939.Click for an instant shipping quoteThis 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

PROVENIENZ: Lisson Gallery, London/New York (auf dem Keilrahmen mit dem Etikett). Privatsammlung Rheinland (vom Vorgenannten erworben). 'Looking at older art led to collecting it. Not just to contemplate but to learn from, I think learning from art is an essential part of making it. Reynolds said he’d give up everything to own a good Titian.' Julian Opie, zit. nach: Julian Opie, Ausst.-Kat. Lisson Gallery, London, 15.10.–15.11.2008, o. S. Für seine stark stilisierten Werke nutzt Julian Opie, bedeutender Vertreter der New British Art, Fotografien als Grundlage, die er digital bearbeitet. Durch die Eliminierung aller überflüssigen Details vereinfacht er seine Motive auf das Wesentliche und entwickelt auf diese Weise die für ihn charakteristische, reduzierte und sehr präzise Formensprache. Opie bedient sich dabei verschiedenster Medien: Neben Serigrafien und Gemälden erstellt er auch animierte LCD- und LED-Arbeiten, die auf Flachbildschirmen oder Displays präsentiert werden. Wunderbar ist im vorliegenden Gemälde Opies radikale Auseinandersetzung mit der kunstgeschichtlichen Tradition der Porträtmalerei zu erkennen. Indem Opie uns die Dargestellte in der klassischen Pose eines Brustbildes gegenüberstellt und lediglich Schmuck und Kleidung in wiedererkennbarer Detailgenauigkeit wiedergibt, während er die individuellen Züge der dargestellten Person konsequent ausklammert und das Gesicht als leere Kreisform wiedergibt, thematisiert der Künstler elementare Fragestellungen: Was macht uns und unsere, gerade in der zeitgenössischen kapitalistischen Gesellschaft, vielbeschworene Individualität letztlich aus? Was ist besonders, was austauschbar? Opie ist mit dem vorliegenden Gemälde ein meisterhaftes Paradoxon gelungen, ein Porträt, das von der Dargestellten nur eine zeichenhaft entindividualisierte Hülle zeigt und sich damit dem zentralen Charakteristikum des traditionsreichen malerischen Genres radikal verweigert. In besonderer Weise irritierend ist darüber hinaus der fehlende Hals, der eine Art Durchblick durch den transparenten Menschen auf das eigentlich dahinter verborgene Sofa freigibt und durch diesen Verfremdungseffekt spielerisch thematisiert, dass wir hier keinen Menschen, sondern eben nur eine leere und damit austauschbare Hülle vor uns haben. Opie hat mit seinen berühmten Comic-artigen und oftmals gesichtslosen Darstellungen Tendenzen weiterentwickelt, die bereits in der Kunst der amerikanischen Pop-Art, vor allem in den augenlosen Wesselmann-Akten angelegt waren, und damit zu seiner ganz eigenen, charakteristischen künstlerischen Handschrift gefunden. Opie war u. a. im Jahr 2000 auf der legendären ersten Ausstellung der dreiteiligen Ausstellungs-Folge 'New British Art' in der Tate Britain, London, vertreten. 1995 wird Opie zum Ehrenmitglied der 'British School at Rome' ernannt. Im Jahr 2001 wird er mit dem 'Best illustration award' der Music Week CADS für die Gestaltung eines Albumcovers der britischen Band Blur ausgezeichnet. Julian Opie ist mit seinen Arbeiten weltweit in zahlreichen renommierten Museen vertreten, darunter die Tate Gallery, London, das Museum of Modern Art, New York, und das Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam.

Not just to contemplate but to learn from, I think learning from art is an essential part of making it. Reynolds said he`d give up everything to own a good Titian.' Julian Opie, quote from: Julian Opie, ex. cat. Lisson Gallery, London, October 15 - November 15, 2008, no p. Julian Opie, an important representative of New British Art, uses photographs as a basis for his highly stylized works, which he processes digitally. By eliminating all unnecessary details he simplifies his motifs to the essentials and thus develops the reduced and very precise formal language characteristic of him. Opie uses a wide variety of media: In addition to serigraphs and paintings, he also creates animated LCD and LED works that are presented on flat-screen TV or on displays. In the present painting Opie's radical examination of the art-historical genre of portrait painting becomes quite obvious. By contrasting us with the sitter in the classic pose of a half length portrait and at the same time only rendering jewelry and clothing in recognizable detail, while excluding any individual traits of the depicted person and showing the face only as an empty circular shape, the artist addresses elementary issues: What ultimately defines us and our individuality, which is so strongly emphasized in today‘s capitalist society? What is special, what is interchangeable? With this painting offered here Opie has succeeded in creating a masterful paradox, a portrait that only shows a symbolically de-individualized shell of the sitter and thus radically rejects the central characteristic of the traditional painterly genre. What is particularly irritating is the missing neck, which allows a view through the transparent person onto the sofa that is actually hidden behind it and, through this alienation effect, playfully shows us that we are not dealing with a real person here, but just an empty and thus replaceable shell. With his famous comic-like and often faceless depictions Opie develops tendencies that we already find in American Pop Art, especially in Wesselmann‘s eyeless nudes, and thus he attained his very own signature style. Opie was represented, among others, in the legendary first exhibition of the three-part exhibition series 'New British Art' at Tate Britain, London in 2000. In 1995 Opie became honorary member of the “British School at Rome“. In 2001 he received the 'Best Illustration Award' from Music Week CADS for designing an album cover for the British band Blur. Julian Opie's work is represented in numerous renowned museums around the world, including the Tate Gallery London, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam.

Laetitia Yhap (b.1941) Conversation, 1981 Liquitex on printed Vilene 58 x 76 cm Hastings Museum and Art Gallery is celebrating Laetitia Yhap’s 80 years of ‘Vital Life’ and work this year with an exhibition of her paintings and drawings chronicling the working lives of the town’s fisherman.* Born in London during the Blitz to an Austrian mother and Chinese father, Yhap studied at Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts and in 1962 travelled to Italy for a year on a Leverhulme Scholarship studying Renaissance art and architecture. On her return, she was a postgraduate student at the Slade School of Fine Art in London before moving to Hastings. She recalls: “I had arrived in Hastings in 1967 and was making large scale watercolour and tempera paintings which excluded the human presence. For me the only way to understand the extraordinary world and work of the fishermen, was to do it the slow way by drawing from direct observation out of doors. I did not possess a camera and it would not have occurred to me to use one. The first 18 months of research was spent entirely and exclusively drawing. Later, as I became familiar with the scene, I made paintings and more complete drawings could be developed. It was always important to me that the people I depicted were recognisable.” Yhap is represented in public collections including the Arts Council of Great Britain, the British Council, the Contemporary Art Society, the Government Art Collection, Hastings Museum and Art Gallery, Hove Museum and Art Gallery, New Hall Cambridge, the Nuffield Foundation, Rugby Museum, South East Arts Collection, Tate, Unilever, University College London and the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool. * My Vital Life: Laetitia Yhap at 80 at the Hastings Museum & Art Gallery. The Covid-19 pandemic necessitated a digital version of the exhibition and the artist’s gallery tour can be viewed on the website. However, now selected watercolour paintings and drawings will be on view in Museum’s Walkway Gallery until 2 January 2022.
