λ STIK (BRITISH B. 1979)GDANSK 16Giclee print Signed in pen, inscribed 16 and stamped with studio stamp188 x 147cm (74 x 57¾ in.)London based Street artist, Stik, is renowned for his 'stick-like' figures famously made up of just six lines and two dots. Born in 1979, Stik honed his skills painting on the streets of Hackney in the early 2000s, just at a time when street art was beginning to draw the attention of the wider art market. Stik's work is intimately rooted in the communities in which he produces it. Having been homeless for a period, he sees his artwork as a way to give back to those communities that sheltered him. Whilst the imagery is simplistic, his work deals with issues of displacement, frailty and hope amongst the changing landscape of East London. His work represents an engagement with the community, with the artist opening a dialogue with the people who live there before producing an artwork. Even with his 'guerilla' street art, he seeks permission from locals and its placement is far from indiscriminate. As he said in an interview with The Guardian in 2015: "Street art isn't just art put out into the street ... It's responding to the landscape. If a piece could be anywhere then what's the point? The more integrated with the cityscape they are, the more they seem to belong there." Condition Report: It has not been examined out of the frame. There are no visible damages or restoration. The frame has some minor chips to the edges. Provenance: Obtained directly from the artist. Sold with certificate of authentication studio certificate and agreement signed by STIK available Condition Report Disclaimer

λ DERRICK SANTINI (BRITISH B.1965) FOOL FOR LOVE, 2012Lenticular print Edition 3/3 89 x 124cm (35 x 48¾ in.)Born in Scarborough in 1965, photographer Derrick Santini is now based in London and New York. His photographs have appeared in magazines such as i-D, Vogue, Flaunt and Nylon and a book of his portraits was published in 2004. Santini began experimenting with the lenticular process in about 2008 and subsequently had two highly successful London gallery shows incorporating lenticular prints and lightboxes. The lenticular process involves photographing a series of stills which are then layered over each other and printed using a special process. The images are then placed under a thin ribbed plastic sheet which acts as a lens producing an animation triggered by the viewer moving in front of it. Whilst the artist grew up loving the still photographic image, the lenticular offers something more kinetic as well as blurring the line between fantasy and reality. The interactive nature of it also appeals to Santini, being dependent on the viewer to create its magic at the same time as implicating them into the image itself.

YAYOI KUSAMA (JAPANESE B. 1929)PUMPKIN (GT) (KUSAMA 229)Screenprint in colours, 1996Signed in pencil, titled in Japanese, numbered 111/120 and dated 1996Image 29.5 x 22.5cm (11½ x 8¾ in.)Provenance: Mori Art Museum, TokyoAcquired from the above in 2004 during the exhibition 'Yayoi Kusama: Exhibition Kusamatrix'.Yayoi Kusama was born into a farming family in Matsumoto, Japan in 1929. Kusama recalls the first time she ever saw a pumpkin. When she was a young girl she visited a seed-harvesting ground with her grandfather and noted that she was 'enchanted by their charming and winsome form'. In her autobiography Infinity Net, Kusama quotes 'And there it was: a pumpkin the size of a man's head... it immediately began speaking to me in a most animated manner.' Consumed by drawing and painting from a young age Kusama's parents did not support her following her passion for art. Eventually her parents let her attend art school at the Yoto School of Arts and Crafts to study Nihonga, a traditional Japanese painting style. In 1958 Kusama moved to New York and became embedded within the pop-art movement coming into contact with artists including Andy Warhol, Donald Judd and Joseph Cornell. Kusama's work was ground-breaking as a Japanese artist in a Western society and a female artist in a male-dominated world. The recurring patterns and dots stemmed from a frightening experience as a young child where she was struck by hallucinations of talking flowers in a field, the expanse of flowers looked like a field of endless dots. Kusama's work is iconic for its vivid, colourful and playful nature. Her name has become synonymous with dots, pumpkins and infinity mirror rooms, which have led her success in interactive art installations.
