Robert Griffiths Hodgins (South African, 1920-2010)Balancing Act: a triptych (2003) bottom panel titled, signed and dated (verso)oil on canvaseach panel 91.5 x 122cm (36 x 48 1/16in).(3)Footnotes:ProvenanceAcquired from Simon Mee Fine Art, London in 2003.ExhibitedLondon, Simon Mee Fine Art, Robert Hodgins, September 2003. 'There are paintings that stem from memory and from a sombre look at the human condition. Paintings about the construction and confusion of contemporary urban life, but also paintings about the pleasures of being alive, pleasures that crowd in upon the pessimism everywhere - that crowd in and refuse to be ignored' (Robert Hodgins, Goodman Gallery, 2000).This triptych, with its vibrant colours and playful composition, perfectly communicates the joys of existence. Looking at the orange, red, and yellow hues, one can almost feel the sun one's face. The comic incongruity of the precariously balanced acrobat in his crisp business suit is a reminder that life's absurdity is something to be celebrated; we should not fall into the trap of taking ourselves too seriously.This drive to find fun, to seek pleasure, was partly born out of the artist's experiences during the Second World War. He joined the South African Union Defence Force in 1940, and saw active service in Kenya and Egypt before being discharged. At the end of the war, he returned to London. This gloomy period, with rationing still in full force and many in mourning, continued to inform his outlook for the rest of his life. One should not take beauty for granted; it should be savoured.Hodgins painted Balancing Act at the age of 83. The impressive scale and energy of the piece reveal a man determined to live life to the full, even in his twilight years.BibliographyS.Fraser, ed. Robert Hodgins, (Cape Town, 2002), pp.12-13.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Demas Nwoko (Nigerian, born 1935)Still life, 1965 signed and dated 'Demas Nwoko/ 1965' (lower right)oil on board 91 x 61cm (35 13/16 x 24in).Footnotes:The above work exhibits the concept of Natural Synthesis as was set forth by members of the Zaria Art Society. They called for the merging of the best of Western and Nigerian traditions, forms and ideas into a hybrid art-making practice and conceptual framework. The concept was developed in the late 1950s and early 1960 alongside a gathering momentum towards independence in search of a modern art that would suit the new nation. Here Nwoko following his study of scenography and theatre design in Japan in the early 1960s has flattened the spare composition in the tradition of the Japanese Ikebana floral arrangements.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Irma Stern (South African, 1894-1966)Still life of roses and earthenwaresigned and dated 'Irma Stern 1936' (lower right) oil on canvas 48 x 59cm (18 7/8 x 23 1/4in).Footnotes:Looking at this still life, one can see why the British artist, Jacob Epstein, was of the opinion that 'nobody living' painted flowers better than Irma Stern. The roses scattered across the table are brought to life with thick, sensual strokes of pinks, creams, and yellows. They have a tangible quality; one can almost feel the velvety-soft petals.As was typical of Stern, she has personalised the painting by including two ceramics from her own eclectic collection. She was a voracious traveller and always acquired an objets d'art as a memento. These fuelled her imagination when she was back in her studio in Cape Town, prompting memories and inspiring romantic wanderings. Stern had a keen appreciation for colour, which we can see utilised here. The soft peach tones of the blooms in the foreground are subtly echoed by the pink hues in the drapery behind. It lends a harmonious dynamism to the composition, drawing the viewer's eye from the lower right corner up the curtain and back down along the curved body of the pitcher. BibliographyH.
