A cream silk Cantonese hanging, predominantly embroidered in beige and brown silks with flowers and birds within a meandering floral border, 77cm x 246cm including fringe (O-3). This part of my collection is peripheral. Until I visited my son Denzil and his family in Hong Kong in 2005, travelling via Vietnam, I had never been to the Far East, only as far as Thailand, which I hated. The few things I have - from Indonesia, Laos, Vietnam and Borneo - were given to me, and mean nothing to me. I bought a few Chinese and Japanese embroideries because I liked them.

Robert O. Lenkiewicz (1941-2002). Self-Portrait at Lower Compton. signed twice and inscribed with title on the reverse circa 2000. oil on canvas. 58 x 58cm. In 1978, Lenkiewicz exhibited the Self-Portrait Project, a return to his interest in the myth and philosophy around reflection as a metaphor and an ironic look at the notion that the self-portrait is somehow revelatory of the 'essence' of the sitter:. 'the more I looked at the question of aesthetics the more I doubted whether there was any sense in the concept of self, personality, identity, individual, etc. If one had been born ten minutes earlier and a hundred yards further down the road, what would that entail for the idea of one's self, rattling like a marble inside the six walls of being? - the notion that there was some unique, specific 'youness' that occupied some part of your actual corpse or its immediate vicinity. very conventional schmilosophical humbug'. The 1978 Project was the painter's fullest working through of the theme which resulted in various statements about the self image:. 'I wondered what it would be like just to paint myself; to paint what I saw in the mirror repetitively. Well, within half a sitting I became aware that all I was doing was painting a picture of a mirror; there just happened to be something there reflected in the mirror.'. The present work is a fine example of the painter's iconic self-portrait circa 2000.
