Charlotte Posner When In Dreamland Watercolour on Paper Signed on Verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) About Contemporary British female artist, Charlotte Posner, is a new breed of artistic talent, driven by a passionate need to create a 360 approach to artistic expression. Charlotte's hand painted artworks are translated into products across a range of categories; each item in the collections is a little piece of Posner art. The range include fashion, homeware, candles, stationery, and accessories. Education Charlotte graduated from Chelsea School of Art and Design. Her style and popularity exploded onto the public scene in 2014 when she received her first Royal Academy placement as part of the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and was profiled on BBC TV Culture Show. A Social media frenzy then erupted when she first introduced her 'Pop Dolls' series to the public in 2015. Coca-Cola, Walls, Kellogg's, Nails INC and Disney all complimented the works and one piece later became the creative for the Magnum UK social media platforms. Select Exhibitions/Awards Charlotte has had the honour of collaborating with some of the world's leading luxury brands and retailers, while developing her own collections of gifts to sit alongside her art. Her work has also exhibited in internationally and been showcased in various important art institutions. She was shortlisted for the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition in 2021. Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork My artworks were designed and painted at the same time. The magical midsummer night fairytale scene was inspired by somewhere I'd love to be, warm hot sunny, watching the world drift by, that smell of night hot summer air. The painting 'Be guided by an angel' was inspired by a trip I have just made to the Vatican in Rome. I looked at the backgrounds of the murals in the Sistine Chapel and relayed the same scenic backdrop making my own composition up. This painting is how I believe in when creating, we are all guided by a higher force when in your true flow. For the last one I painted a still life of the tuna tin which I used as the palette whilst painting the other two paintings. I like how the fantasy and reality link and meet using the same colour palette but such different subjects. The two little paintings take me to a different place, but the tuna can brings you back to the fact that they were all painted in my studio.

RAMON NADAL HORRACH (Palma de Mallorca, 1913 - 1999)."Landscape", 1945.Oil on canvas.Signed and dated in the lower right-hand corner.Measurements: 65 x 84.5 cm; 82 x 99 cm (frame).Ramon Nadal trained with Llorenç Cerdà and Francesc Rosselló at the School of Arts and Crafts in Palma de Mallorca, and was introduced to the world of art thanks to his father. At the age of just thirteen he held his first exhibition, which was held at the La Veda gallery in Palma. In 1940 he took part in the founding of the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Palma, where he would later exhibit his works on several occasions. He mainly worked in oil painting, and his work encompasses practically all genres (figure, still life, portrait, etc.), although he is especially known for his landscapes. He belongs to the Mallorcan post-impressionist movement, and is noted for the consistency of his drawing. Throughout his career his work was recognised on several occasions, especially the Medal of Honour of the Círculo de Bellas Artes de Palma in 1952 and the City of Palma Prize the following year. Likewise, since 1964 he was a full member of the Royal Academy of Sant Sebastià. Some outstanding young artists were trained in his studio, such as Alicia Alcover, Miguel Llabrés, Antoni Alzamora, Juan Segura, Josep Manresa Clar and his nephew, Francisco Gaita. There is currently a street in Palma de Mallorca that bears his name, and his works form part of several collections, including that of the Can Prunera Museum in Sóller (Mallorca).

ISMAEL DE LA SERNA GONZÁLEZ (Guadix, Granada, 1898 - Paris, 1968)."Still life violin". Watercolour and coloured pencils.Signed in the lower right area.Size: 30 x 41,5 cm; 48 x 54,5 cm (frame).Ismael González de la Serna began his art studies in Granada and concluded them in Madrid, at the San Fernando School of Fine Arts. In his early years he developed an eclectic pictorial style, drawing on impressionist, symbolist and modernist sources. One of the first examples of his youthful language can be found in the illustrations he made for his childhood friend Federico García Lorca, in what was to be his first book, "Impresiones y paisajes" (1918). That same year, Ismael de la Serna held his first exhibition in Granada, and shortly afterwards he presented his works at the Ateneo in Madrid. In 1921 he moved to Paris in order to broaden his artistic horizons, joining the circles of the School of Paris. Among his Parisian friends was Pablo Picasso, who influenced his work but was, above all, the Granada painter's protector. During this period De la Serna's style was permeable to the influences of the avant-garde, particularly Cubism and Expressionism, which he worked in a highly personal manner. Likewise, the initial influence of Impressionism was always evident in his work. The year 1927 marked the beginning of a period of strong influence on his work, which began with the painter's solo exhibition at the influential Paris gallery of Paul Guillaume. This exhibition was followed by many others, both in Paris and in Berlin, Brussels, Copenhagen, Granada and Mexico. In 1928 he was commissioned by the director of "Cahiers d'Art", Christian Zervos, to illustrate a special edition of twenty sonnets by Góngora. The key to his recognition lies in his sensual interpretation of the forms of Cubism, based on the relevance of a drawing with a sinuous and highly decorative line, combined with strong chromatic contrasts. With a marked spatial sense and without ever abandoning figuration, De la Serna mainly depicted still lifes, in which he emphasised the sensory aspect of his painting with metaphorical sensory references such as music, fruit or open windows. He also worked on landscapes and portraits. After inaugurating the activities of the Asociación de Artistas Ibéricos in Madrid with a solo exhibition in 1932, the painter embarked on new avenues of artistic experimentation which, after the Second World War, led to a more schematic and simplified style of painting, close to contemporary abstract solutions. Ismael de la Serna is represented in the Patio Herreriano Museum in Valladolid, the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid, the Fine Arts Museums of Granada and Seville, the ARTIUM in Vitoria, the Popular Museum of Contemporary Art in Vilafamés and the Museum of Modern Art in Paris, among many others.
