this season’s collection incorporates a

broad range of artistic styles and genres,

and achieves a genuinely eclectic mix of

contemporary work. As always we are

immensely proud of our established portfolio

of artists which boasts the biggest names

including rolf harris CBe, doug hyde,

henderson Cisz, and many more.

we have also invited some innovative new talents

on board and are delighted to launch work from

individuals including Csilla Orban, Amanda Brisbane

and internationally renowned graffiti artist Temper.

Although each artist has their own unique style,

they all share three qualities that we believe to

be fundamental - individuality, desirability and the

power to inspire.

THE CITy LIVINg PORTFOLIO

HENdERSON CISzthe recent publication of a book about henderson’s life and work has revealed some intriguing facts about this very private man. Born and brought up in a small Brazilian village, his life changed dramatically at the age of 10 when his father disappeared and his family was mysteriously evicted from their home in the middle of the night. this early experience marked the beginning of an unconventional life that took henderson to Sao Paolo, London and finally on to all four corners of the globe.

It was in London though that henderson found his metier. he spent days pounding the city’s pavements and getting to know its architecture, people and weather. his work still owes much to these early days, with an emphasis on autumnal skies, brightly lit shop fronts and slick pavements. Find out more about henderson in the City Living Portfolio.

gRAHAM MILTON Epic Skies

Influenced by artists from Turner to rothko, Graham paints the sky because “it has such a profound effect on us as human beings. we have such a strong connection with the sun and the sky that it can influence our mood, and also trigger a sense of wonder.”

Graham was born in London in 1965. he completed an Art and design Masters degree at Central Saint Martin’s (London) in 1997, where he attained a distinction. he has

gone on to be a highly successful independent artist; his paintings have been exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery in London and the Scottish National Gallery, edinburgh. Graham has been a finalist in the prestigious BP Portrait Award two years in a row, and his work is in collections across the uK and europe.

BLAzING SKIeS I Box Canvas, Image Size 47” x 28” edition Size 95, £615, FrAMed £795

The epic skyscapes of Graham Milton are beautiful panoramic visions which reflect not only the enormity and variety of the sky, but also capture its ever-changing drama.

having been a household name for over 50 years, rolf harris might have been forgiven for sitting back and taking it easy as his 80th birthday approaches.

But instead, the uK’s most collectable modern master is now producing some of the best artwork of his life. he is also working on a much-anticipated book to commemorate his long and celebrated career as an artist and national treasure.

‘windswept Lion’ is a superb new wildlife portrait that showcases a characteristic

deployment of bold colours and spontaneous brushstrokes. rolf captures the power and latent energy of this majestic animal with his trademark combination of technical brilliance and warm affection.

Inam’s first UK collection marked him out as a rising star of the contemporary art scene, and this vibrant and atmospheric quartet of images has cemented his status as one of our most exciting artistic talents. taking the four seasons as his starting point he has chosen a signature colour for each exquisite forest scene and used it to capture the prevailing mood from the time of year. the lush green of spring conveys an optimistic sense of new beginnings, while the blazing

summer sun creates a golden aura of heat and light. the glowing vision of autumn is suffused with the scarlet of an October sunset and the winter hues of charcoal and white introduce a more spacious aspect to the scene. while each individual composition has an enticing depth that pulls the viewer in, the collection comes into its own when viewed as a whole; drop by the gallery to experience this extraordinary kaleidoscope of colour.

AUTUMN SPLENDOUR

FROM CONCRETEto canvaswhen Saatchi and Saatchi asked temper to create a bespoke commission for their London head Office they were left reeling by the extraordinary result.

directors of this world-renowned agency, whose name is a byword for creative excellence, are not easily impressed, but they described temper as “an aerosolic visionary”.

this cutting edge virtuoso is at the forefront of the art form through his amazing innovation and craft - a world leader in photo realism with spray paint. his artwork has been a breath of fresh air in the art world, winning him enormous respect. his work achieves the impossible as he skilfully masters an uncontrollable medium in freehand, without stencilling or masking. Temper is a highly collectable graffiti

artist with a number of private collectors including roman Abramovich, david Lloyd and Ian wright, to name but a few. He is also the first graffiti artist to hold a solo exhibition in a bona fide Government funded gallery space, breaking all attendance records. his ‘A New day’ collection has revitalised a classic art form, moving further down the road of the exciting journey of the temper portfolio. these detailed nude studies possess a drama and realism that reminds us – ‘with temper you must always expect the unexpected’.

Asencio’s work always begins with a ‘gesture drawing’; he then mixes colour and applies the oils according to his temperament. As well as brushes and a palette knife he uses a range of unconventional tools, thereby transforming a traditional painting into one possessing his cutting edge signature style. Close up these paintings are all about modernity, with their bold juxtapositions of strident blocks of colour and aggressive painterly texture. But take a step back, and they fuse into figurative images of unexpected, sometimes overwhelming beauty.

Californian art-star henry Asencio is the most exciting American to hit the UK art scene in recent years.

“While colour and composition are at the root of

my work, I have learnt that the finishing touches can make a

huge contribution to the overall effect of a piece. Highlighting

each image with this wonderful new gloss means that they

hold and reflect the light in a completely different way, and has made me look at my own

work through new eyes.”

danielle’s work has always turned heads, but her new statement collection makes a whole new impression on the viewer. these exhilarating florals are overlaid with a stunning new high gloss resin which makes the scarlet and cyan blooms fairly dance off the canvas.

As the molten glass begins to solidify she intervenes in the cooling process, shaping it into beautiful and stylish sculptural forms by hand. each piece of glass is therefore a subtle collaboration between artistry and chemistry. unusually, Amanda produces all the raw materials used to colour each composition herself, and the way the pigment collects and travels through the glass ensures that each is a unique and original work of art.

Born in 1964, Amanda graduated from London’s Central School of Art and design with a 1st Class honours degree and went on to take up two scholarships: first to the tyler School of Art in Philadelphia and then to the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston. Amanda’s work is held in collections across europe and the uSA, and she has received a variety of prestigious awards including one from the Lord Mayor of London.

the Private Collection stands at the vanguard of fine art publishing, creating an attractive new stratum of collectable artwork for the contemporary market.

each image is limited to a highly exclusive edition size of 49, and is graced with uniquely detailed hand-embellishment. It is then given the superb presentation traditionally accorded to an original painting with the finest crafted frame. to celebrate the launch of this new concept in fine art publishing, the inaugural Private Collection features four beautiful figurative images of music and dance from Sherree valentine daines.

“Anyone who engages with my work can trace the influence of the Impressionist Movement but it is

perhaps not obvious that to me this means more than just paintings. Whether we are talking about the music of Debussy or the ballet dancers of Degas, impressionism has made a huge cultural impact, and of course a great personal impact on me. I think of my own work as fitting into this context of artistic endeavour, and this set of paintings reflects my love of the arts as a whole.”

Sherree’s masterly compositions have earned her a formidable reputation as the face of modern British impressionism, and the Private Collection provides the perfect forum for her award-winning artwork.

the cityscapes of Csilla Orban occupy a unique position on the current art market. Although they depict specific and often recognisable locations, their particular brilliance lies in the creation of atmosphere rather than the accuracy of detail.

By merging colours and blurring the reflected light in the rain-slicked streets, Csilla conveys the fast-moving essence of her chosen subject in her own distinctive way. Csilla was born in 1961 in Budapest, hungary. She graduated from the

university of Budapest in 1984 with a Masters degree in Art and followed this up with a year as a scholarship student in the former uSSr. After spending much of her twenties travelling around europe she finally settled in the UK. She has participated in many international exhibitions, and in 2004 she received the ‘genius talent prize’ in Budapest at the exhibition celebrating the entry of hungary into the european union.

the last year has been a landmark one for Darren, with his unique status confirmed by two highly prestigious invitations. he has been appointed an official artist to the 2012 olympic games in london, and he has been commissioned to paint an official portrait of HrH Queen elizabeth ii, an accolade only accorded to a small number of painters in the monarch’s lifetime.

there are few more enjoyable asset classes, and with art there is the added advantage that its financial value does not diminish with use. recent headlines have shown that the top end of the art market is thriving; a water lily painting by Monet recently sold for over £40 million, just a few weeks after roman Abramovich paid £60 million for a Francis Bacon and a Lucian Freud. But for those of us operating on a more realistic financial level things are also looking good, and there is some immensely desirable artwork out there for anyone looking to start or build a contemporary art collection. Our portfolio this season has been created with today’s collector in mind. we have commissioned a wide range of original

paintings to cross the whole spectrum of price points, and the published work includes some innovative new collectables such as glass editions and some amazing spray can art. we have also launched individual collections which offer something different, such as the highly exclusive ‘Private Collection’. So whatever direction you wish to follow with your own collection, call in to the gallery to view a whole range of exciting alternatives. And remember the golden rule; never buy just for an investment - buy because you love it. If it’s a good artist and good work, then the investment will take care of itself.

Peter’s sophisticated Italian oils are characterised by a highly expressive, painterly technique and display a structural clarity and atmospheric impact that few contemporary artists

can hope to rival. As one of the most illustrious painters on the contemporary scene he exhibits regularly at prestigious art venues including the royal Society of Marine Artists, the New england Art Club and the royal Institute of Oil Painters of which he was recently elected president. his artistic achievements have been recognised with various accolades including the Frank herring award at the Mall Galleries in London and the Cornellisen Prize for Outstanding work.

the landscape and architecture of Italy has inspired artists for centuries, and while genres and styles have moved in and out of fashion, Italian art has always remained on the cultural agenda. But in recent years it has enjoyed a particular surge in popularity amongst art collectors, thanks to the work of a group of some of the most highly-regarded artists on the contemporary scene. these artists are based all over the world, yet each one has an affinity for the country they paint, and they all bring their own highly personal interpretation to the subject.

JULIE ANN SCOTT Colour in Motion

Julie Ann’s vivid oil paintings are intense explorations of sunlight filtered through the swirling vortex of the ocean. the dazzling illumination combines with the strong impression of movement to create an explosion of energy on the canvas.

Light is the unifying factor in all of Julie Ann’s work, originating in the sight of the sun breaking through the misty darkness. This first blissful moment of light inspires the artist from both an aesthetic and a spiritual viewpoint.

Julie Ann grew up in the uK, but as soon as she could she set off to see the world and spent an eventful and adventurous few years abroad. After working as a catwalk model in Israel, touring as an actress in California, and travelling around much of eastern europe she returned to england and settled in the Lake district, where she set up a studio. Since then she has not looked back and her work has been exhibited to great acclaim across the uK.

the work of Andrew holmes can best be categorised as Modern British realism, yet this rather impressive description belies its accessible nature. his distinctive still lives invite us to take a second look at some of the familiar elements of modern life and explore them from a new perspective. Spurning the conventional glassware and traditional bowls of fruit he comes down firmly in favour of items found on the 21st century kitchen table, giving his work the sort of confident charm that allows it to sit anywhere, from a stylish dining room to a welcoming kitchen.

PHILIP RASKIN

contemporary miniatures

Since his work was launched into the UK art market last year, seascape

maestro Philip Raskin has become a familiar name

in galleries across the UK. His romantic view of the

world includes no evidence of human life, but

invites the viewer to experience complete

immersion in the image.

Philip was born in 1947 and studied at the Glasgow School of Art. he then entered the world of business and became well known as the proprietor of the Inn on the Green, a celebrated jazz restaurant in

Glasgow over which he and his wife presided. he did not lose contact with the world of art however, as the venue doubled up as a quality gallery with a full programme of exhibitions and private views.

After 20 years as a successful restaurateur, Philip returned to his easel and brushes on a full time basis. Over time, he has developed a painterly impasto style; using the texture of the paint and the shape of the brushwork, he gives each of his luminous landscapes its own reality, rather than allowing it to be a smooth window onto a world beyond. with a trademark soft palette and dramatic skies, the overall effect magically captures the textures, moods and

changeable light of his native Scotland. Philip is rapidly acquiring a loyal following of collectors both in the uK and abroad.

“I tend to paint very private places for people to own and enjoy; no population, no houses, no telegraph poles - just the driftwood of an ebb tide, mist tumbling on a distant hilltop and silence broken only by lapping water and gulls ascending.”

Fabián PérezUp Close and Personal

With this new pair of figurative images, Fabian Perez invites us to experience the intoxicating atmosphere of Buenos Aires through the characters that inhabit its exotic nightscape. while sensuality and intensity are key, there is also a sophistication and intelligence to his shadowy figures which implies something beyond the purely visual. his charismatic men and seductive women seem to be part of a wider narrative, one which embraces mystery, eroticism and drama.

fabian has recently released a short documentary film about his life and work, which introduces us some of the people and places that have helped to form his creative outlook.

ABSeNCe makes the heart grow fonder

Leading British watercolour artist hazel Soan divides her time between London and Cape town. She creates much of her award-winning artwork in a glorious sunlit studio in South Africa, a world away from the more muted light of venice and London that she paints in such affectionate detail. while she relishes the warmth and light of her studio location, she still cherishes her love of these romantic european cities.

hazel’s work is held in private and public collections all over the world. She is well-known for her role as an Art expert on channel 4’s popular daytime programme, watercolour Challenge and as the author of several highly-regarded books on painting. hazel’s work is collected by BP, hilton hotels, royal Caribbean, ritz Club, BBC television and many other private individuals and corporations.

Lesley Thielnatural selection

In the year when we are marking the 200th anniversary of darwin’s birth, the beauty of nature is celebrated in style by Lesley

thiel in Amethyst, a mesmerising representation of the grace and power of a magnificent animal.

Although she was born and educated in england, Lesley has lived most of her adult life in Germany, Switzerland and the uSA. having originally trained as a scientist and worked in various fields of scientific research, she formed her love of horses while visiting a friend’s Stud in the united States. despite her early love of painting and drawing, it took this encounter with an inspirational subject to reignite her passion for art, and it was here that she once again began to paint. taking the spirited Arabian horses around her as her subject, she was soon producing work of great power and drama.

Although rOB heFFerAN is renowned for his contemporary figurative images, his work goes way beyond this genre categorisation. he has a remarkable gift for composition and lighting which perhaps stems from his skills as an experienced

photographer. his intimate images capture every nuance of the light suffusing the fabric of the bed coverings, the sheen of brunette hair, and the warm tones of the beautifully contoured female form.

“In a world of harsh realities I find art can provide a wonderful escape route both for myself and hopefully for those who experience my work. In these paintings my intention has been to combine elements of beauty and style with something less tangible – atmosphere – in an effort to communicate the romance of a single moment.”
