Inscription and invitation to the Alan Cristea Gallery, 2006, inside frame The work of Julian Opie is known throughout the world. With public commissions from New York to Seoul, London to Calgary, and an uninterrupted flow of international museum exhibitions, Opie’s distinctive formal language is instantly recognisable and reflects his artistic preoccupation with the idea of representation and the means by which images are perceived and understood. “Everything you see is a trick of the light,” Opie writes. “Light bouncing into your eye, light casting shadows, creating depth, shapes, colours. Turn off the light and it’s all gone. We use vision as a means of survival and it’s essential to take it for granted in order to function, but awareness allows us to look at looking and by extension look at ourselves and be aware of our presence. Drawing, drawing out the way that process feels and works brings the awareness into the present and into the real world, the exterior world.” Always exploring different techniques both cutting edge and ancient.

ABOUT the ART and the ARTIST Barbara Kruger’s work speaks directly to us. Using pronouns like “I,” “You,” and “We” and bold declarative statements, Kruger’s work prompts us to question what we see and hear in mainstream media, and to contemplate how these messages shape our identities and society. Questions around who has a voice in society—and how—are key in Kruger’s practice. Here UNTITLED FLAG 2020 adopts Futura Bold Oblique and Helvetica Ultra Compressed typesets in the work, embedded in the US (Uncle Sam Flag). She employs the pithy graphic design strategies of text and imagery common in advertisements to direct attention to pernicious systems of power.

About the ART and the ARTIST A classic and early print from one of the most popular artists on the urban art scene. Insect created the now iconic ‘The Kid’ artwork for San Francisco based hip hop producer DJ Shadow's 2006 for the Outsider album. Paul Insect 'Big Head’ is a snapshot focus on ‘The Kids’ portrait and was issued in 5 colourways. Yellow, Green, Orange, red and Blue. This print was released by Insect and Published by Pictures On Walls (POW) in 2006. Insect first rose to prominence as part of the “insect” artist collective street crew in London which was active between 1996 and 2005. The U.K.-born and based artist, prefers to keep his true identity anonymous. In 2006 to 2012 Insect left the streets as new government policy criminalised street graffiti art. He and many others had direct involvement in (POW) Pictures On Walls gallery in Shoreditch. From 2012 Paul Insect’s work evolved from street graf into bright, multi-textured collages feature cropped portraits, patterned colour fields, benday dots, and decorative elements such as diamond dust and glitter. Insect’s next big break arrived in 2007, when Damien Hirst reportedly bought out the artist’s entire solo show before it even opened at London’s Lazarides Gallery. Hirst is not alone in his fandom—Insect has exhibited at a number of galleries in New York and London, and his work was included in Banksy’s 2015 pop-up exhibition “Dismaland” and Roger Gastman’s 2018 traveling street art survey “Beyond the Streets.” Condition: Used Delivery option: Delivery Location: NG3 Category: Art

Provenance : There is a small amount of historical paperwork included in the sale to build up your provenance Genre - See my other street, subversive, Graffiti and popular modern Brit PoP Art pieces. About the Art and the Artist ‘JACKIE KENNEDY’ with her iconic Pure Evil dripping tear is for the loss of John F Kennedy, her husband and President of America. Charles Uzzell-Edwards iconic USP and artistic interpretation of her loss, is a four coloured hand pulled Silk Screen Print with aqua, red, purple, black and sheen black dripping tear accents. The style of Pure Evil is certainly distinctive, leading to the growth of his brand worldwide. Using primarily graffiti and stencil, the work of Pure Evil is often bright and colourful, while including satirical and political overtones that mock popular culture. Jackie Kennedy (1929-94), born Jacqueline Lee Bouvier, later Jackie Onassis, worked as a photographer before marrying ambitious Democratic politician JFK in 1953. She became the nation’s most celebrated First Lady when Kennedy was elected US president in 1961. On November 21 1963 she was with Kennedy in an open car crossing Dealey Plaza in Dallas when the shots were fired that changed America’s sense of itself, breeding paranoia and countless conspiracy theories. Pure Evil is the moniker for Welsh born Street artist, Charles Uzzell-Edwards, who studied fashion and graphics in London. Moving to the West Coast of the US in the early 90’s, he found inspiration in the graffiti and skate culture and became heavily involved in the electronic music scene. Pure Evil’s first street works were in California, where he would paint anti Bush slogans on roadsides and Murderers on gun stores. Returning to London, his street work continued with a new graffiti tag that was to become his iconic signature. Pure Evil’s infamous Vampire Bunny is the result of a recurring childhood nightmare (nightmares also being a major theme in his work). Pure Evil soon fell in with the people behind Banksy’s Santa’s Ghetto and started to produce new prints and paintings alongside his street work. Pure evil explores the darker side of pop culture - alongside his iconic dripping tear that features on most of his paintings bringing an uncomfortable edge to even the most cheerful of images His subjects also often focus on the unsung or troubled aspect of celebrities - you’ll find Sharon Tate - famously murdered by Charles Manson, alongside Audrey Hepburn celebrated for her work against the Nazis in WW2 and members of the infamous 27 club such as the Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones, who tragically was found dead in a swimming pool in 1969.

Life Lumley was born in Marylebone, London in 1876 and attended the Royal Academy of Arts from 25 July 1893 to July 1898. During World War One Lumley was approached by printer Arthur Gunn with an idea for a new army recruitment poster, the now well known Daddy, what did you do in the Great War? According to Gunn's son Lumley worked on a sketch of the idea before presenting the idea to the proposal to the British Parliamentary Recruiting Committee who subsequently commissioned it in 1915.

Title: Original Signed Watercolour by Artist Savile Lumley. Free Post Worldwide Description: John Savile Lumley (1876–1960) was a prolific English book illustrator, and poster designer best known for his 1915 war recruitment poster Daddy, what did you do in the Great War? Life Lumley was born in Marylebone, London in 1876 and attended the Royal Academy of Arts from 25 July 1893 to July 1898. During World War One Lumley was approached by printer Arthur Gunn with an idea for a new army recruitment poster, the now well known Daddy, what did you do in the Great War? According to Gunn's son Lumley worked on a sketch of the idea before presenting the idea to the proposal to the British Parliamentary Recruiting Committee who subsequently commissioned it in 1915.

Title: Vintage Antique by William Carruthers Affleck - Painting for Card Thatched cottage - Signed with COA Description: William Carruthers was born William Affleck on the 18th March 1868 to Robert and Elizabeth in Rochdale, Lancashire. The family returned to Edinburgh and later moved to Warner Road, Camberwell, London. Robert was a builder who diversified into stage scenery and theatrical pulley systems. He was particularly remembered for his patented methods for trapdoors and wave effects in Wagner's Ring Cycle at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. This reduced considerably the number of operators required. William's passion was painting, mainly with watercolours but also in oils. He studied art in South Kensington, Heatherleys and the Lambeth School of Art. His work was shown at the Royal Academy, Royal Institute and Royal Burlington Academy. His watercolours were accepted for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibitions, London, from 1891 to 1915 Between 1897 and 1900 three were accepted each year. In 1908 at 39 he married his model, Hilda Carruthers Billston (23) at Blewbury. They lived in Clapham, London, and had one child, Robert John, three years later. Many of his paintings feature the Lambourne Valley, Berkshire and in particular the picturesque village of Blewbury. From 1905 to 1920 he took summer lodgings in Blewbury, Berkshire. Whilst there, he painted "Picking Wild Flowers" which was made into greetings cards by Medici and has sold prolifically. "Poetry" shows Hilda sitting outside a cottage. "Anne Hathaway's Cottage" is an oil, which was also painted as a watercolour for Salmon Postcards. He won the prize for the best painting in the Pear's Encyclopaedia competition, with "The Rustic Beauty". This featured Hilda and was made into the colour plate for the 1911 version of the Encyclopaedia. The watercolour "Autumn" (51.5cm x 35cm) depicts Hilda aged about 30 standing in a wheat field wearing a long white dress embroidered with numerous small flowers. This was sold at auction in 1990 for £16,000. His watercolours pass through the auction houses about two or three times a year. Only later in life did he start working for Salmon Postcards. Postal dates on cards give a guide as to when a painting was accepted. In my collection: His first card was No. 3688. No. 3988 Caesars Well, Keeston, Bromley is dated 4th Sept 1936. No. 3961 The Almshouses, Chipping Campden is dated 27th July 1937. No. 4145 Stansfield Rock Garden, Hesketh Park, Southport is dated 10th Aug 1937. These cards were available over a long period of time and hence it is probable that he started with Salmon about 1928 when he was 60. When painting for Salmon he used the signature William Carruthers or simply WC. Carruthers was his wife Hilda's middle name. He clearly wanted to distinguish his commercial work from his other art work. However, the quality of the work that he produced for Salmon was very high. Living in London meant that he could travel by rail to locations selected by Salmon Cards. Occasionally he would be taken to local places in a car by one of the Salmon Directors (he was not rich enough to have his own car). He stayed with relatives in Edinburgh whilst completing fifteen scenes. As with the other artists, the historical significance of colour, when postcards from photographs were only in black and white, is an important legacy. Approximately 300 paintings were converted to postcards in about 10 years. Some are still on sale in certain locations, e.g. Clovelly in Devon and Willy Lotts Cottage, Flatford (Constable country). His speciality, both in his commercial and private work, which made him distinctive, was the detail he achieved when painting flowers. When A.R.Quinton died, William with others, completed a number of ARQ's unfinished works. He also obtained private commissions to convert a painting into a card produced by Salmon, e.g. The Ram Jam Inn, Stretton, Oakham, Rutland. This is signed William Affleck. He died aged 75 in 1943. Hilda lived to 104. Condition: Used Delivery option: Delivery Location: CM14 Category: Art
