* PHILIP RASKIN (SCOTTISH b. 1947) HOME SHORES oil on canvas, signed and dated '05framedimage size 39cm x 90cm, overall size 53cm x 103cm Note: Born in 1947, Philip studied at the Glasgow School of Art in the 1960s. However, due to his father's untimely death, he had to postpone his career in art and left art school to enter the business world where he stayed for the next 30 years. For 20 of those years, he was the well known proprietor of The Inn on the Green, a celebrated jazz restaurant, in Glasgow. During this time, he maintained his contact with the world of art however, by running a schedule of art exhibitions and openings within the venue. Upon leaving the restaurant in the 1990s, Philip returned to his easel and brushes and since then has become a successful full time artist with broad appeal. He now lives and works from his studio just outside Glasgow. Philip's unique style is instantly recognisable combining a heavy impasto application of the paint alongside more delicate and sensitive brush strokes. Focussing mainly on landscape painting, his inspiration comes from the islands of the west coast of Scotland with Barra, Islay, Jura and Arran being some of his favourite locations. He deftly captures the essence and light of the landscapes through his work, the rugged shorelines, dramatic seascapes and ever changing skies. "I tend to paint very private places for the viewer to own and enjoy. No people, no houses, no telegraph poles; just expansive skies, mist tumbling on a distant hillside and a silence broken only by lapping water and gulls ascending". Philip is also the father of Natasha Raskin Sharp who for several years worked for McTear's and is now a regular TV expert and host on shows such as "Bargain Hunt" (BBC1) and others.

She graduated from the Glasgow School of Art in 1964 where she had been taught by David Donaldson, once the Queen's portrait painter. Beginning her career as a teacher, by the age of twenty-seven she was a full-time artist. Walker is one of the most successful female painters working in Scotland today. Her talent in capturing the ever-changing light of the Scottish landscape is outstanding, and her subtle but strong still life paintings are highly-prized. Work is held in many public and corporate collections worldwide, including the Royal Bank of Scotland and Sara Lee Holdings. In The Scottish Contemporary Art Auction of 12th September 2021 "The Silver Table" (lot 562), a mixed media by Ethel Walker sold for £2600 (hammer).

* KYS (FRENCH b. 1949), SEATED NUDE oil on canvasunframedoverall size 135cm x 111cmProvenance: Acquired by the vendor from REDSEA Gallery, Block 9 Dempsey Road, #01-10 Dempsey Hill, Singapore 247697 in 2010/11. Ms Anita Saraswathy (Gallery Manager, REDSEA Gallery) has recently confirmed the current gallery price for a Kys work of this size is SG$9000 (approximately £5030). Note: "Kys" was born in 1949. His quest of the spiritual world of Asia began 30 years ago when he left France to travel through India, Nepal, Thailand and Japan. With an impeccable photo-realistic painting technique and a mastery of light and shade, Kys depicts the particular quality of each Jayavarman (King of Cambodia) or nude image. Using acrylic paint, gold or silver leaf and other secret ingredients; in his Jayavarman paintings he depicts the ancient patina of stone statues, worn by thousands of years of monsoon rains. Kys says “When I paint, I pray with my brush.” Modestly, he sees himself as merely a channel between the model and the viewer. Kys will paint his subject from a figurehead (his nudes from live model). Several layers of acrylic paint are used on the canvas. His subject is then painted on these layers enhancing the texture, tones and depth by using gold and silver leaf. His technique produces an incredible three-dimensional image, almost as if it was a hologram. The text he uses are single words, stamped on, written in ancient Khmer, Thai, Chinese, Japanese and other Asian languages. Their meanings are simple; Happiness, love, health, kindness, warmth and other words that collectively do not make a single sentence but bring the understanding and feeling of peace and harmony to the viewer.

* DAVID HOCKNEY OM CH RA (BRITISH b. 1937), ROCKY MOUNTAINS & TIRED INDIANS 1965 lithograph on paper for the Pop Art Exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts, September 13-December 15framed and under glass image size 59cm x 79cm, overall size 67cm x 87cm Note: The painting from this poster was painted at the University of Colorado, Boulder in 1965, where the university campus is on the edge of the Rocky Mountains. However Hockney's studio had no windows, so he painted this imaginary picture instead. It is inspired entirely by pictures in magazines and romantic ideas of the 'Wild West'. The nearest 'Indians' are in fact at least three hundred miles from Boulder. The chair was included for compositional purposes, and to explain its being there Hockney called the Indians 'tired'. The striped mountains in the background were a light-hearted response to contemporary striped, abstract paintings by American artists.
