International Print Biennale, Northern Print, Newcastle-upon-Tyne Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork Esmé's thoughtful work and intimate work is sometimes representational and sometimes not. It is telling a story but indirectly often through representation and sometimes through simple shapes and pattern. She works with a variety of processes including drawing, photography and print. The relationship between drawing and surface is important whether that be watercolour paper, women's magazines, digital images or domestic linen. These drawings are part of an on-going examination of hair in all its beauty and uncanniness. They are concerned with the sense of loss and otherness that is present when hair is removed from the body. In these images the figure is absent but the woman is nevertheless present; represented by her hair.

Marcelina Amelia Moonlight Watercolour and Acrylic on Paper Signed on Verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) About Marcelina Amelia is a contemporary artist, based between the UK and Poland, working with mixed media approaches to print, painting and drawing. She often draws inspirations from her Polish heritage, looking to religious iconography and folk tales, as well as childhood memories, the power of dreams, spirituality, sexuality, and the human condition. According to her Mum, Marcelina started drawing before she could properly speak. She has been featured in publications including Booooooom, Bomb, Art Maze, Create Magazine, Digital Arts, Vogue, Refinery29, The NY Times, Der Spiegel and Ballad Of Magazine and is also a founder of art-brand Mesh Studio. She exhibits work throughout the UK as well as internationally and was a featured artist at the 2017 edition of the London Illustration Fair and led The Big Draw sketch walk for Apple. In 2018 Marcelina was Saatchi Art's featured 'Artist in Spotlight' at The Other Art Fair in Bristol and her artwork adorned thousands of tote bags promoting the fair. This year Marcelina was also a featured artist at the Affordable Art Fair Battersea's Live Art event. Added to that her work was displayed at Boxpark Croydon, made an appearance at 2018 London Fashion Week and she has been invited to take part in the infamous 'Art on a Postcard' secret auction alongside some big names in the art world. Rebecca Wilson, the chief curator at Saatchi Art, highlighted Marcelina as an artist to invest in at her talk at The Other Art Fair in London in 2018. In addition, Saatchi curator Monty Preston said she was "unquestionably an artist on the rise" Marcelina says, 'I like to play at the tense borders between lust and innocence; joy and sadness; fun and pain. My interest in juxtaposition comes from my origins and fascination with East European culture which was eloquently described by Grayson Perry as 'nowhere else could such horrific grief be met with such fairly-tale romanticism'. I tend to utilise nature as a metaphor for everyday feelings and headaches. My recent work also dwells into themes of self acceptance, body positivity, representations of the female sexuality, gender, migration, and society. Although some of the subjects I take on are often quite dark I like to think that there is some humour and light in my finished artwork.'

Cathy Eliot Nans Pencil Crayon on Paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Cathy Eliot is an illustrator and painter with a passion for gardens. Recently she graduated from an MA in Picturebook illustration, and uses her painterly style to tell stories about nature - from the experiences we may have with it, to how it can help us to heal.   Education MA Children's Picturebook Illustration, Anglia Ruskin University   Select Exhibitions/Awards Selected for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, 2021; Selected for the Royal Watercolour Society Open Call Exhibition, March 2022.   Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork My postcards reflect three generations of women in my family - a self portrait of myself as a child, a painting of my mum from one of the few photos I have of her, and a drawing of a rose I planted in memory of my Grandma. Pomegranates have long been a symbol of fertility, but have also been used as a form of birth control - I feel this represents how the choice to have children is becoming increasingly complicated.

Victoria Cantons Change is the Natural Order Watercolour and Archival Ink on Paper Signed on Front and Verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) About Victoria Cantons is an artist who happens to be a woman, transgender, and gay. As a trans woman she is keenly aware of limitations and stigmas, which leads her to question how much freedom we have and where our boundaries lie. Cantons wants to understand as much as she can about what it means to be human. She believes that what we as individuals present to the world is multifaceted and not always visible; a continuous evolution in response to experience, and in relationship to each other. The human condition and questions of identity are central to her work. Cantons is interested in themes of power, identity, and male and female perceptions of each other. She says "These aspects connect us all and yet we are also unique individuals". Cantons' painting is figurative and she could be described as a colourist. She is interested in the dialogue between painting's contemporary iterations and its histories. Cantons uses drawing and written notes combined with found and made photographs to navigate between intuitive, intellectual, and aesthetic content informed by a multinational, -cultural and -religious background. An interest in the internal-external dichotomy manifests in an attention to scale, to how shadows form, and to where absences appear. Memories of being different suggest the need to use masks and camouflage as protection, while influencing the paintings as they evolve in an exploration of identity, self, and representation.   Education 2018 - 21 MFA Painting (Distinction), Slade School of Art, University College London 2017 - 18 Painters Studio Programme, Turps Art School, London 2014 - 17 BA (Hons) Fine Art: Painting, Wimbledon College of Arts, University of the Arts London 2013. . . .

Hannah Tilson Glimmer Homemade Paint on Watercolour Paper Signed on Verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) About Tilson is interested in the human form, pattern and colour. She makes intimate self-portraits composed of bright colours and vivid patterns, elevating ordinary objects and placing herself in a vibrating space filled with patterns. Tilson recently started making her own paint and camouflages herself in buzzing, fragmented spaces, viewing her body and the fabrics she is encompassed in as a landscape/pattern-scape.   Education Hannah Tilson graduated with a Bachelors in Painting from the Slade School of Fine Art in 2018, studied on exchange at the New York Studio School and recently finished a scholarship programme at the Royal Drawing School in London.   Select Exhibitions/Awards Tilson was recently long-listed for the Ruth Borchard self portrait prize, 2021 and has previously exhibited at the Royal Academy, Guts Gallery, Bonhams, Christies, the Saatchi Gallery, The London Art Fair. She has recently had press coverage in Elephant Magazine.   Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork During the first lockdown I found myself away from my world that I was used to drawing/ making work in and had to seek inspiration from elsewhere. I ended up staging theatrical sets in my room, hanging patterned fabrics and lighting them. I would then dress myself up head to toe in patterned clothing and film myself moving around in the space. The clothing matches the background, allowing myself to camouflage as much into the surrounding patterned area. I then draw and work from these film stills. I am interested in how the figure camouflages into the scintillating surfaces of the patterned backgrounds. Allowing the shapes to vibrate together. By working from a film it allows me to capture the figure in motion as well as helping me find new compositions. These pattern portraits were made with my homemade watercolours.

Rebecca Sammon Hover With You Coloured Pencils and Watercolour on Paper Signed on Verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) About Rebecca Sammon (b.1984, Wigan, UK) lives and works in London. Rebecca's bold, poetic pieces pulse with vibrant immediacy. Often Rebecca's pieces are inspired by nature and the human form within abstracted landscapes, moving from themes of mythical narrative into the more ambiguous, fluid space of uncertainty. The balance of delicate figures is often layered with varied marks where shapes, florals and imagined landscapes emerge. Education Rebecca studied Fine Art at the University of Brighton, Painting at Kansas City Art Institute and Drawing Intensive at The Royal Drawing School, London.   Select Exhibitions/Awards Rebecca's works are collected privately internationally and her work has been acquired by Soho House, UK.

I've been committed to this theme since I started painting 23 years ago and, while my way of painting has developed over the years and the subjects have changed with time, I'm still compelled to paint recognisable women from contemporary culture.

Anastasia Shimshilashvili Oxford Watercolour on Paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About I was born in Moscow in 1987. I started my art education in 1998 at the Moscow State Academy Art Lyceum of The Russian Academy of Arts. I believe that a large part of my knowledge and skill was developed at the lyceum. The Surikov Art Institute was a logical progression of my academic training. I got admitted into the Faculty of Painting and after my 2nd year, I got accepted into the Department of Monumental Art. There, I learnt various techniques such as making church frescos, mosaics, breadboarding etc. Following graduation, I have focused a substantial amount of my time on teaching fine art to eager students, running a YouTube Art Channel, and recently publishing a 'self-teach' art book based on my teaching methods in Russia. The most important aspect is the character of each personage and tone. I like to work on different pieces with different technologies simultaneously. This way I never get tired of one particular work and I can enjoy diversity during my work.   Education MA in Fine Art Faculty of Painting, Surikov Academic Institute of Art, Moscow at 2011 BA Monumental Art Workshop of Monumental Art, Faculty of Painting, V.

DIONISDIO FIERROS ÁLVAREZ (La Ballota, Asturias, 1827 - Madrid, 1894)."Cliffs".Watercolour on paper.Lack of glass.With restorations.Signed in the lower right corner.Measurements: 77 x 51 cm; 88 x 61 cm (frame).Born in a peasant environment, Dionisio Fierros trained in Madrid, first in the workshop of José Madrazo and then in that of his son Federico. At the same time he enrolled at the San Fernando Academy of Fine Arts and copied works at the Prado Museum. In 1885 he left the court and moved to Galicia, determined to succeed as a painter, and devoted himself to commissioned portraits, a genre in which he excelled with a strong personality, somewhere between realist and romantic. He remained in Galicia for three years and tirelessly painted portraits, landscapes and genre scenes featuring the popular types of the area. In 1860 Fierros took part in the National Exhibition of Fine Arts in Madrid and won one of the first medals with his painting "Romería en las cercanías de Santiago" ("Pilgrimage near Santiago"), which would give prestige in Madrid to the genre of genre painting, so popular at the time. He then travelled to Paris to complete his training, thanks to the protection of the Marquis of San Adrián, and on his return to Spain he settled in Santiago de Compostela, painting landscapes and popular Galician customs. He continued his picturesque wanderings, which took him to Salamanca, where he also left numerous testimonies of popular types. In 1866 he again took part in the National Competition and was again awarded a prize. Dionisio Fierros is currently represented in the Prado Museum, the Museum of Modern Art in Madrid, the National Museum of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires, the Pazo Quiñones de León in Vigo, the Provincial Museum in Lugo, the Museum of Fine Arts in Asturias, the University of Santiago de Compostela, the Museo Casa Natal de Jovellanos, the Royal Sites and various provincial and town councils, among others.

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.
