Tamara Jovandić-Everson Tanya Ink and Mixed Media on Paper Signed on Verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) About Tamara finished the Academy of Art in Sarajevo and has lived and worked in North London since 1992. She has over thirty group exhibitions in the UK, Ireland, France and the USA, and five solo shows. Tamara has exhibited at prestigious art galleries such as Mall Gallery, Cork Street, Royal College of Art, and many more. Tamara's paintings, for a period of years, were about exploring female sexuality and nudity through expressionistic imagery, highlighting spiritual and religious themes which suggest a paradox. Tamara's preoccupation for dramatic contrast and religious themes, using live models and working quickly and directly onto canvas, comes from a fascination with Italian Baroque and Caravaggio's use of chiaroscuro and his rich and dark palette. Intending to relate to the viewer on the most intimate level, these works are always faceless and express the universality of torment through human emotion. Exploring the human body through suffering, sacrifice, isolation, and emptiness is autobiographical: based on life in exile, and a homeland torn apart in the civil war (former Yugoslavia). The works are generated from studies of life models. Drawings are then enlarged and painted on a larger scale. In recent works, there is further development in growing out of the narrative, investigating 'painting within painting', freeing and enlarging further parts of figurative artworks, bringing dramatic contrasts by using a variety of mediums to build texture including sand, plaster, and resin...

Justine Smith Silver Queen I Silver Leaf, Acrylic and Vanish on Old English Pound Notes on Saunders Waterford Paper Signed on Verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) About Paper has always been a primary material in the work of Justine Smith. Her work is concerned with the concept of money and how it touches almost every aspect of our lives. She is interested in money as a conduit of power and also in the value systems with which we surround it. On a physical level a banknote is just a piece of paper, but it is what a banknote actually represents that is central to Smith's work. Through her collages, prints and sculptures she examines our relationship with money in a political, moral and social and ecological sense, whilst also exploiting the physical beauty of the notes. She lives and works in London. Select Exhibitions/Awards She has exhibited her work in galleries and museums internationally. Recent commissions include two works to celebrate the 95th Birthday of Her Majesty the Queen for the Royal Mint. Notable collections include The British Museum, The Fitzwilliam Museum, The British Council, The British Library, The Bank of England, The Royal Mint Museum and the UK Government Art Collection along with many international corporations, financial institutions and private collections. Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork This work forms part of an ongoing Nature series. I have a fascination and reverence for plants and nature which continues to deepen. I find the relationship between ecology and economy, in addition to the political and historical aspects of making work with banknotes a really interesting one.

JUAN BAUTISTA DE GUZMÁN (Granada, 1850 - Barcelona, 1898)."Flamenca", 1891.Oil on canvas.Signed and dated in the lower right corner.Measurements: 86 x 46 cm; 108 x 68 cm (frame).Representative of the Andalusian costumbrismo, Juan Bautista de Guzmán specialised in popular scenes of bullfighters, peasants, taverns and courtyards of Granada. On this occasion he offers us a scene set in the interior of an Andalusian courtyard with a sandy floor. The protagonist, a lady dressed in a flamenco dress and draped in a Manila shawl, is leaning jauntily against a wall on which the show is being advertised. Costumbrista genre painting was a characteristic exponent of Andalusian folklore during the period of the rise of Romanticism and 19th-century Orientalism. Traditionally, Spanish painting and literature have been interested in popular customs and types. The arrival of Romanticism enlivened this trend, bringing to the Hispanic tradition the vision that foreigners had of our people, due to the snobbery of a Europeanising and liberal national bourgeoisie which, also due to foreign influence and under the Romantic fashion, turned its eyes to the people and monuments of the past. This, which was general throughout Spain, was particularly prevalent in Andalusia, as this land was the dream destination of foreigners, and where the influence of the vision they had of the Spaniards and their peculiar customs had to be felt most strongly.Juan Bautista de Guzmán Orante was a Spanish painter born in Granada but settled in Malaga as a child. The Malaga painter Leoncio Talavera passed on his love of painting to him. He painted his first picture by copying a painting by his friend Talavera. In 1879 he took part in the Cadiz Exhibition, winning a silver medal, and in 1881 he exhibited his works at the National Exhibition in Madrid. After settling in Barcelona, he took part with two paintings in the Fine Arts Exhibition of the Catalan capital in 1888 and 1891 with "Garden", "A Wrong Way", "A Hungarian Family Begging for Charity", "A Burro muerto la barley al rabo" and "Sensibility", as well as in the 1896 edition.
JOSÉ MARTÍ GARCÉS DE MARCILLA (Lérida, 1880-Barcelona, 1932)."Palatial Scene", 1930.Oil on canvas.Signed and dated in the lower right-hand corner.Size: 76 x 90 cm; 100 x 115 cm (frame).In this painting Martí Garcés shows us a palatial scene which serves him as a pretext to display his mastery in capturing the aristocratic sumptuousness of the nineteenth-century clothes, the headdresses and the noble furniture.He began his training with the Valencian painter Vicente Borrás y Abellá. In 1907 he travelled to Paris and Venice to further his artistic studies; in the French capital he entered the Académie de la Grande Chaumière. He took part in numerous exhibitions and competitions, winning a silver medal at the 1911 Barcelona International Exhibition, a third medal at the 1920 National Exhibition of Fine Arts and a second medal at the 1922 edition for his canvases La novia de Espronceda and El balcón, respectively. He also took part in the International Exhibitions of Amsterdam, Basel, Brighton and San Francisco. He practised mural painting, most notably the ornamentation of the panel dedicated to the monastery of Poblet in the Saint George Hall of the Diputació de Barcelona.
ELISEO MEIFRÉN (Barcelona, 1857 - 1940)."Landscape.Oil on panel.Signed in the lower right corner.Size: 27 x 18 cm; 57 x 47 cm (frame).In this composition, Meifrén's brushstroke achieves freedom and boldness by abstracting the pure impression of a landscape scene. It is probably a late painting, from a mature period when Meifrén had already fully assumed his characteristic technique of loose brushstrokes and vibrant palette, which here almost verges on abstraction. Eliseo Meifrèn is considered one of the first introducers of the Impressionist movement in Catalonia. He began his artistic training at the Barcelona School of Fine Arts, where he was a pupil of Antonio Caba and Ramón Martí Alsina, with whom he began to produce romantic landscapes of academic style. After completing his studies in 1878, he moved to Paris in order to broaden his artistic knowledge, and there he became acquainted at first hand with "plen air" painting, which was to have a powerful influence on his Parisian landscapes of those years. It was also in Paris that he coincided with the public debut of Impressionism. A year later he made a trip to Italy, during which he visited Naples, Florence, Venice and Rome, where he came into contact with the circle of Catalan artists formed by Ramón Tusquets, Arcadio Mas i Fondevila, Enrique Serra, Antonio Fabrés and Joan Llimona, among others. That same year, 1879, he took part in the Regional Exhibition in Valencia, where he won a gold medal. Back in Barcelona in 1880, he made his individual debut in 1880 at the Sala Parés in Barcelona, where he continued to exhibit regularly from then on. During these years he was a member of the Modernist group and frequented Els Quatre Gats. In 1883 he returned to Paris, where he produced numerous drawings and watercolours with views of the city and its cafés, which earned him a warm reception from the French critics and public. In the late 1980s he returned to Barcelona and continued to show his work at the Sala Parés, as well as at the Centre de Aquarelistes. In 1888 he was also a member of the jury for the Universal Exhibition held in Barcelona. In 1890 he returned to the French capital for the third time, where he took part in the Salon des Beaux-Arts and the Salon des Indépendants of 1892, together with Ramon Casas and Santiago Rusiñol, artists with whom he had formed the Sitges pictorial group the previous year. In the following years Meifrèn submitted his works to numerous official exhibitions and competitions, including the National Exhibitions of Madrid and Barcelona, and was awarded third medals at the Paris Universal Exhibitions of 1889 and 1899, a silver medal at the Brussels Universal Exhibition of 1910, a grand prize at the Buenos Aires Universal Exhibition of the same year, a medal of honour at the San Francisco International Exhibition of 1915 and a grand prize at the San Diego Exhibition the following year. He also won the Nonell Prize in Barcelona in 1935. In 1952, Barcelona City Council dedicated a retrospective exhibition to him, held at the Palau de la Virreina. His early landscapes, characterised by an academic and romantic concept, later evolved towards an impressionist language. He is currently represented in the Museo del Prado, the Museo Nacional de Arte de Cataluña, the MACBA in Barcelona and the Thyssen-Bornemisza, among many others.
