Robert Fitzmaurice (b.1960). 3 of Spades. Mixed media on card. 28 x 20cm. Framed. Robert Fitzmaurice: I am a visual artist whose output involves painting, mixed media and collage. My figurative style is fragmentary and references both the art of the past and contemporary culture. I usually work in series with each work involving an interplay between one or more figures and ambiguous forms in order to invoke a particular mood, e.g. contemplative, melancholy, or dramatic. The figures operate in a shallow, theatrical space and tend to possess the frontality and expressive shorthand common to votive art of all cultures. These elements combine to suggest an absurd universe where meaning is fluid and open to interpretation. Often I will start a series of works with an idea inspired by something recently seen or read. Other times I may work more instinctively from images found in books, postcards, the cinema or online. I may also start a new work by tracing an old drawing, or the overpainting and collaging of earlier works, especially proof prints and print matrices. The composition is then subjected to a number of revisions and embellishments. The paint layers involve open brushwork, impasto and glazes, and are often further modified by the introduction of sand, sawdust or collage elements. Colour decisions are driven by the emotional tone and to balance the composition. I am very interested in how the mind assigns value to imagination and experience and how these meet to produce a work or art. My tendency to simplify, filter and truncate is in response to the fragmented and bewildering surfeit of images available to contemporary audiences. Artists of different periods and cultures have used the human figure in order to convey a narrative or personify a concept. By referencing the formal potency of these otherwise outmoded and compromised systems I wish to draw attention to a common ground, or sometimes a point of departure, in order to highlight the absurdities that continue to divide us. The power dynamics of childhood, family and rites of passage feature strongly as I consider they have a universal significance that transcends religion, myth or dogma. Originally from Coventry I studied Fine Art in Sunderland before moving to Reading in 1984 for my MFA. After years of making art around a day-job I became a full-time artist in 2015. I hold a studio in the town at OpenHand OpenSpace and participate regularly in exhibitions nationally and internationally. www.fitzmaurice.works. Interview with the artist: Why did you want to take part in this fundraising initiative I was invited to participate in the 2016 TLC Art Auction and really enjoyed being part of that. I therefore didn't hesitate to get on board with this project.Can you tell us about your artwork What inspiration did you draw on to create your designMy design includes a small central sprite realised through the union of the three spades. In my work I am interested in invoking the figure through a mixture of figuration and abstraction. The spades suit suggested to me a rather austere and weathered character which I have sought to reflect in my choice of materials and surface effects. What is it about the charity Transplant Links that made you want to support them I am very impressed by the important work TLC does in developing countries. Their work makes life-saving operations a reality for those in need. Please note that final invoices will include buyers' premium at 27% (inclusive of VAT) added to the hammer price.

Joanna Lumley OBE FRGS (b.1946). 9 of Clubs, 'Keep Counting'. Black pen on paper. Signed under mount: 'Nine of clubs by Joanna Lumley'. 20.8 x 14.6cm. Joanna Lumley OBE FRGS was born in Kashmir and brought up in Hong Kong and Malasia until she moved to the UK. After school, she was a model in the Swinging Sixties but only achieved her aim to become an actress when she was 21. Untrained, she somehow managed to slither into the profession and has appeared in countless films, television shows and plays, including Pink Panther and Coronation Street, James Bond and Chekhov, New Avengers and Oscar Wilde and Absolutely Fabulous. She has made fifteen travel documentaries, the most recent being made in India. She is married and has one son and two granddaughters and lives in London. Joanna Lumley: It is always exciting to be asked to do something you have never done before for a charity that you feel deserves all the help it can get. When TLC ( fabulous name, by the way: exactly what it says on the tin, tender loving care supporting Transplant Links Community) asked me to design a playing card I felt as though I had won a prize. The chance to sit and think and plan and draw, and all for something as fine as TLC, was all I needed to put the 'Gone Fishing' sign on the door.Before I started my artwork I chose the nine of clubs, for no other reason than nine is a lucky number for cats and the symbol for clubs looks a bit like an oak leaf. Then I examined a traditional nine of clubs playing card and guess what: it is perfect, and cannot be improved.Oh.So then I thought of chaps sitting by candlelight in a cave who must recognise the suit at once ( hence big symbols) and who could read the number nine even if they were Roman centurians. Then I got a bit arty and tried to make it look like a fabric pattern. Then I stopped and left it looking a bit scruffy and unpolished, confident that it won’t be reproduced, and will never muck up a game of poker when the stakes are high.Everything about TLC is music to my ears. What they achieve through their training and skills and application and sheer doggedness is exactly what life is about: never stopping trying to make the world a better place for someone else. I bow my head to everyone on the team. Kidney transplants are a win-win solution to so much suffering and sorrow, and I send TLC all the loving support and admiration in the world.Please note that final invoices will include buyers' premium at 27% (inclusive of VAT) added to the hammer price.
