Julia Abele Shrimp, 2023 Acrylic on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) This lot has been curated by AOAP About I am a self-taught figurative painter with a passion for bright colours, abandoned city spaces and still lifes. My paintings are my diary. I paint memories, snap shots from my trips and travels as well as family snap shots. Education I have a masters in literature in London and Heidelberg. With regards to painting l am self-taught. I had a good art teacher in school, but after that it was learning by doing and trying to find out which tools and media were best suited to achieve the colours and textures I had in my head. Select Exhibitions/Awards I had two solo exhibitions and a number of group exhibitions in my home town. From 2011 on I participated in smaller art fairs around the world. In March 2023 I exhibited at The Other Art Fair in London. In 2018 and 2023 works of mine were selected for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. In 2024 I have another Solo show coming up in Klingenberg am Main/Germany. Gallery Representation Saatchiart Singulart Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork I submitted 4 still lifes of my favourite subjects to the upcoming auction. For me still lifes are a bridge between the past and present - life and death. By looking at simple everyday objects that are painted in a specific moment in time you can time travel back to that moment that is gone forever. The objects may have gone or broken too and remind us that life is swift and precious. I particularly like to paint porcelain and ceramic objects as they are delicate by default. I also love painting flowers, fish and seafood, as all those classic still life objects have their own story of mortality. You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works.

Isabella Lolita Amram Forgotten Shadows Oil and oil pastel on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) This lot has been curated by AOAP About Isabella Lolita Amram is a Turkish and Venezuelan artist living in London. Isabella ritualistically combines astrological chart analysis and tarot card divination in relation to the places, people, and events that inspire her, with paint. Her paintings can best be described as cosmological landscapes and portraits that capture the world through a lens of occult knowledge. Further to that, she not only conceptually and experientially investigates, but also "processually" embodies and performs her research on tarot- and astrology-centric symbolic and archetypal storytelling through a gestural, circular, and textured manner of layering paint, using the materials as an extension her body. On the one hand Isabella's practice is built on a foundation of conceptual research on esoteric meaning-creating symbols based on astrology and tarot. On the other, it emphasises approaching the occult by dropping out of analysis and storytelling into "mystery," which she does through practices like automatic drawing and using her body as a vessel rather than a tool of conscious material manipulation. The intention behind this seemingly dualistic foundation is to bridge the gap between body and cosmos, material and meaning, the unknown and knowledge, something and no-thing, and the observed and imagined, through the use of the physical and tactile properties of paint, surface and colour. As such, Isabella touches upon moments of individuation and transformation - both personally and collectively. Furthermore, through her work, Isabella aims to open the door to conversations about the relationship between space and time, the unknown that exists beyond storytelling, contemporary attitudes on mysticism, as well as age-old discussions on consciousness, free will, and the cyclically patterned nature of history. The crux of Isabella's oeuvre is the fleeting and transformative process that goes on in her studio, while the works displayed are heirlooms from these voyages throughout space and time.

The intention behind this foundation is to bridge the gap between body and cosmos, material and meaning, mystery and knowledge, something and no-thing, and the observed and imagined, through the use of the physical and tactile properties of paint, surface and colour. As such, Isabella touches upon moments of individuation and transformation - both personally and collectively. Isabella not only conceptually investigates, but also "processually" embodies and performs her research on tarot and astrology-centric symbolic and archetypal storytelling through a gestural, circular, and textured manner of weaving materials. Ritualistically combining astrological charts and tarot divination with paint, her works can best be described as cosmological landscapes and portraits of events and people informed by divination. Analysing moments of significance through the lens of such occult tools and transcribing them onto surfaces opens the door to conversations about the relationship between space and time, the unknown that exists beyond storytelling, contemporary attitudes on the esoteric, as well as age-old discussions on consciousness, free will, and the cyclically patterned nature of history.
