* EILEEN LAWRENCE RSA,ASCENTgold leaf and watercolour on paper, signed, titled and dated 1989image size 41cm x 18cm, overall size 63cm x 39cm Mounted, framed and under glass.Handwritten artist's label verso.Note: Eileen Lawrence RSA was born in Leith and studied at Edinburgh College of Art (1963 – 1968). Using a precise and detailed technique like a botanical illustrator, Lawrence produces drawings and watercolours of natural objects, such as feathers and twigs. These items are collected by the artist on visits to the countryside. Lawrence`s intensely detailed studies are a way of meditating on man`s spiritual relationship to nature. Her first solo exhibition was held at the 57 Gallery, Edinburgh, in 1969. Significant early exhibitions included participation in the 1977 Paris Biennale and the seminal touring exhibition, Inscape, organised by the Scottish Arts Council around the same period. In 1978 Lawrence secured her first major solo exhibition, held at the Arnolfini, Bristol. These exhibitions cemented Lawrence’s reputation and acquisitions by the Tate and the National Galleries of Scotland followed. In 1992 the Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh, held a retrospective of Lawrence’s practice and this toured to the Usher Gallery, Lincoln. Since then, major exhibitions have been held at Drumcroon, Wigan; Worcester City Art Gallery; the Pier Arts Centre, Stromness, Orkney; and the Mead Gallery, Warwick.
* PETER HOWSON OBE (SCOTTISH b. 1958),WOMEN ON THE MIND - DON GIOVANNI 1995oil on canvas, signedimage size 123cm x 107cm, overall size 132cm x 117cm Framed.Note: In 1995 Peter Howson collaborated with John Cox and the Scottish Opera on a new production of Mozart’s Don Giovanni. In an amazing interview with the Glasgow herald in 1995 Howson commented: “It’s an incredible opera and a fantastic opportunity. I’ve got the opera bug now. Everything to do with Don Giovanni is curvaceous and sexy. The rest is sharp, pointed and angular. I’ve kept the colour scheme very simple: rich scarlet, vermilion, and cherry red for Don Giovanni’s territory: his bedroom, ballroom, the wedding party scenes, and for Hell. Soft greens, greys and cream for the rest. Howson produced 300 preparatory drawings for the Opera, together with a group of Oil paintings which were exhibited at Bilcliffe fine art, Glasgow in September 1995. These works were inspired by the party scene nudes in the opera. Howson explained in the interview with the Herald: 'There are hundreds of nudes everywhere, some friendly, some demonic. It's like Dante's Inferno. Don Giovanni is a man of incredible sexual appetite and John Cox wanted this depicted in a Rubenesque way: not pornographic or smutty, but with as much nudity as Scottish sensibilities allow. There's even nude caryatids and statuary carved over the door to his palace. Although Scottish Opera's audiences can be terribly Calvinistic. They don't want too much said about the nudes in case people cancel their tickets!'' Surely not? ''It's true. It happened once before with Life with an Idiot. I see Don Giovanni as the life force. His bed is red; his dressing gown is opulent, flowing gold and red. Of course, he's amoral, what used to be known as a libertine and blasphemer, but he's also a free-thinker, a man before his time, a revolutionary who rejects the religious and sexual code of his society. He's defiant and unrepentant. He never forces himself on women, merely seduces. His affair with Donna Anna is the first time in his amorous career that things have gone wrong. He doesn't feel guilty for the Commendatore's death as the duel was fought in self-defence. When he's dead the town stagnates and misses him. The Don Juan story has always been popular even in folklore. Back in 1787 when the opera was first performed in Prague it must have seemed scandalous but today it's not so. We've tried to avoid setting the opera in any specific period. Hopefully, it's timeless.'' Provenance: Sotheby's, Gleneagles, lot 1024, 31st August 2005, estimate £10,000 - £15,000.
