TAI XIANGZHOU (b.1968)Cosmos Worlds 1 and 2, 2014Two paintings, ink on paper, each framed. 45cm high x 75cm wide (17 3/4in high x 29 1/2in wide). (2).Footnotes:泰祥洲(1968年生) 天象世界1和2 水墨紙本 鏡框 2014年作Born in 1968 to a scholarly family in the provincial capital of Yinchuan, Ningxia, in north-central China, Tai began his training in Chinese calligraphy at the young age of four. After studying interactive design in Auckland, New Zealand, he led successful careers in digital media and conservation, founding the cultural magazine 'Chinese Heritage'. In 2003, his encounter with the painter Liu Dan pushed him to further explore the techniques of traditional Song and Yuan dynasty paintings. By 2006, Tai had devoted himself to ink painting and had begun to investigate Chinese landscape paintings from the perspective of astrology. Under the mentorship of philosopher Bao Lin, he completed his PhD from Tsinghua University in 2012 with a dissertation entitled 'Phenomena of the Universe-The Concepts and Structure of Chinese Landscape Paintings.' This work was highly admired by renowned art historian Fang Wen, who recommended the book in the preface and recommended for publishing by the Zhonghua Book Company. Attending to the nature of the materials of painting, Tai has researched traditional papermaking techniques and now paints exclusively on paper and silk produced by tenth-century methods. He also only uses ink from the Qianlong era (1736-1795), which is considered to be one of the highest-quality inks. In addition to painting, Tai in 2010 created an interactive and multimedia installation based on classical Chinese cosmology, 'The Gateway of Expedient Means', modelled on medieval revolving repositories of Buddhist sutras and constructed in wood using traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery. He currently lives and works in Beijing. Tai Xiangzhou's works are in the Art Institute of Chicago; the Arthur M.Sackler Museum, Harvard University; the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco; the Brooklyn Museum; Princeton University Art Museum; and Yale University Art Gallery.For related paintings by Tai Xiangzhou, see Ink Worlds: Contemporary Chinese Painting from the Collection of Akiko Yamazaki and Jerry Yang, Stanford, 2018, pp.44-45.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: W TPW Lot is located in the Bonhams Warehouse and will only be available for collection from this location.TP For auctions held in Scotland: Lots will be moved to an offsite storage location (Constantine, Constantine House, North Caldeen Road, Coatbridge ML5 4EF, Scotland, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

LI XUBAI (b.1940)Lush Mountain in Smoky Clouds, 2015Ink and pigment on xuan paper. 178cm long x 97cm wide (70in long x 38 1/4in wide).Footnotes:李虛白(1940年生) 雲煙翠嶂 水墨設色紙本 立軸 2015年作Li Xubai was born in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, 1940. He moved to Hong Kong in 1979, where he has been the editor of art magazines such as 'The World of Collectors' and 'Dragon Roots Art Magazine'. He moved again in 1996, but this time to Canada, where he now lives. Although he began his artistic career by teaching himself Western-style painting, he was interested in Chinese classical literature, poetry and landscape painting since the 1960s. His paintings are influenced by the Song masters of the 12th century, but he maintains his connection with the contemporary world by creating a seemingly flat pictorial space and a pixilated effect that reminds one of digital media. By choosing to paint in a classically derived style, Li Xubai asserts his cultural identity while working in a foreign land. The poems he inscribes on his paintings in traditional literati fashion usually mention his foreign residence, echoing numerous inscriptions by painterly predecessors who wistfully invoked their own political exile. In the present lot for example, Li wrote in the Song dynasty lyric-metre-style. According to the inscription, this painting and the poem were made in Canada at his home.Li's works have been exhibited widely, including at the University Museum and Art Gallery at the University of Hong Kong, Saatchi Gallery in London, and the He Xiangning Art Museum in Shenzhen.Compare with a related painting by Li Xubai, which was sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 29 May 2022, lot 1010.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: W TPW Lot is located in the Bonhams Warehouse and will only be available for collection from this location.TP For auctions held in Scotland: Lots will be moved to an offsite storage location (Constantine, Constantine House, North Caldeen Road, Coatbridge ML5 4EF, Scotland, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

A graduate of the Chinese Painting Department at the Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts in 1988, he is now Dean and professor at the Art and Design Department at Fudan University in Shanghai. Wang's art is a serious meditation on the precarious relation between permanence and fleeting efflorescence, between the material and the immaterial, between past and present, between tradition and contemporaneity.He started to create his Digital series when he was on an artist's residency in Paris in 2002. A portion of his cigarette accidentally fell onto a piece of paper and hollowed it out; Wang drew inspiration from the burning and developed it into a creative technique. Furthermore, his direct encounter with contemporary art in Paris, especially conceptual art, not only inspired new approaches in his own work but also further convinced him of his love for the language of ink. In the Digital series Wang Tiande paints landscapes and calligraphies onto xuan paper and then enriches the images with cigarette burns. Rich in form and content, this series goes beyond any boundaries dividing painting and calligraphy.

Harold Cohen (British 1928-2016) a mid-century coloured screen print 'For Duncan Black' signed and dated 52 in pencil to margin, unframed, image size 16.5cm x 17cm, sold along with a monochrome ink portrait, circle of or after Harold Cohen. ***Harold Cohen was a British artist whose innovations at the forefront of technology changed the face of computer art. Unfolding where art and artificial intelligence intersect, Cohen's artistic practice was punctuated by his famed invention of AARON, a computer programme designed to create art independently. Cohen's work attracted global attention and was exhibited at major institutions such as Tate London and SFMOMA. Having graduated from Slade School of Fine Art, Cohen's first solo exhibition was held at Ashmolean Museum, Oxford in 1951. Further solo shows followed, including at Whitechapel Gallery in 1965. Cohen represented the UK at the 1966 Venice Biennale, Documenta III, the Paris Biennale, and the Carnegie International. Cohen relocated to the United States as a visiting lecturer at the University of California, San Diego, in 1968. It would be almost three decades Cohen remained at UC San Diego as professor, chairman of the Visual Arts Department and eventually in 1992, director of the Centre for Research in Computing and the Arts. During this time Cohen began work on AARON, a venture to which he would devote the next five decades, instigating new areas of study and pioneering generative art. After his retirement from UCSD he continued to work on AARON and produce new artwork in his studio in Encinitas, California. In 2014, Cohen received the ACM SIGGRAPH Distinguished Artist Award for Lifetime Achievement in Digital Art.

One of the first students to graduate, De Syllas' jewellery caught the attention of Graham Hughes, who purchased her entire body of student work for The Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths Collection. Hughes served as Art Director of The Goldsmiths' Company between 1951-1981 and actively promoted the work of British avant-garde jewellers. The 'International Exhibition of Modern Jewellery, 1890-1960' held at Goldsmiths' Hall under his leadership in 1961, marked a watershed moment for British jewellery design and the industry at large. Each of the four De Syllas jewels presented in this sale (lots 83 - 86) were exhibited at a major retrospective exhibition of De Syllas' work, held by The Goldsmiths' Company at Goldsmiths' Hall in 2016. The exhibition featured 73 unique pieces, covering her student work from the 1960s to her latest commissions. Prior to this, De Syllas won the first ever Jerwood Prize for Jewellery in 1995 (jointly with Peter Chang). Since graduating in 1966, she has taught and exhibited internationally and her work can be found in the permanent collections of the V&A Museum, the Crafts Council in London and the Alice and Louis Koch Collection at the Swiss National Museum in Zurich.De Syllas designs a jewel around the form of the gemstone she carves, creating sculptural pieces that are tailored specifically to each client – their complexion, hair colour, personality and personal preferences are all considered. Sculpting gemstones requires a great depth of understanding, experience, patience and skill and the art is fraught with many challenges. While the metal settings are secondary to the gemstone itself, De Syllas carefully considers the metal used in order to best enhance and seamlessly support each carving. She employs unconventional methods traditionally used in other fields, such as gunsmithing and dentistry and embraces new technologies, such as digital design drawing and laser welding. Her work is truly exceptional for its technical brilliance and fearless ingenuity. Nearly all of her pieces are private commissions, and this is likely to be the first time her jewellery has ever been presented to a global audience at auction.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: YY Subject to CITES regulations when exporting items outside of the EU, see clause 13.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A polyurethane resin troll skull144cm wide This was commissioned for Beowulf TV series Please note the plinth is not included in this lot The Rod Vass Collection - Lots 363-371 Rod Vass is a professional visual artist who originally studied Fine Art at Newcastle and Sunderland Colleges of Art. He then worked as an Archaeological artist at Newcastle University before moving to London to pursue an art career. Rod exhibited and sold paintings and began a parallel career as an illustrator, represented in London and New York. He also began to create 3D sculptural works for Film, TV and other clients. In 1997 he formed Armordillo Ltd, where he pioneered and developed the use of sculpting with sprayed polyurethane resins and foams within the film industry, starting with 650 suits of armour for Ridley Scott’s Oscar winning film Gladiator. Since its inception, Armordillo has been engaged in research and development into a wide range of experimental sculptural processes. Along with their specialist team, Rod and Armordillo have created works for numerous well known film and TV projects. In recent years Rod has been joined by his son Louis Vass, who has added his artistic abilities and highly developed digital art skills to the Armordillo portfolio. His 3D designs have brought a high level of sophistication to the design process – enabling realistic 3D images of design work to be viewed in situ even before construction has begun. Their work ranges in scale from intricately detailed models to huge set pieces measuring thousands of square feet. The current large sculptures at Summers Place reflect their interest in the combination of traditional artistic skills with the latest technology. Most of these sculptures started life as pieces created for Film, TV and live performance. All have been re-worked and re-purposed as freestanding statement pieces, suitable for outdoor or indoor display. The materials are relatively lightweight, allowing for easy installation in a range of locations. They are completely weatherproof and can be left outdoors indefinitely. Each piece has a makers plaque authenticating it as a genuine Rod Vass creation. The artists are currently concentrating primarily on private commissions and are happy to consider proposals for sculptural designed pieces at any scale. Garden OrnamentGarden Statuary Film Prop

A key chapter of his seminal seven-part Purification series – made up of The Approach, The Arrival, The Disrobing, Ablutions (presented here), Basin of Tears, The Dowsing and Dissolution – this work stands alone as an earie and transfixing piece of pure beauty that was created in response to Wagner's opera Tristan und Isolde in 2005, when Viola collaborated with Peter Sellars for his production at the Opéra national de Paris that year; a staging of the work that saw significant acclaim and multiple revivals in seasons since. A twin-screen presentation, capturing the careful rinsing of palms and digits between a male and female subject over the course of seven minutes, Ablutions is presented in Viola's quintessential slowed frame rate that brings the most intimate and tender details to bear in an unsettling, thought-provoking work by the artist. Devoid of sound, the hypnotic simplicity of the performance feels heightened and intense, stirring images of devotion, of worship, and catharsis. As a work of art set against Wagner's opera, Viola's Ablutions takes a symbolic function: it reveals the inner realisation of love in the mind of the lovers that can only be achieved through a process of joint cleansing and sacrifice. As the artist commented on his response to the opera: 'Richard Wagner's Tristan und Isolde is the story of a love so intense and profound that it cannot be contained in the material bodies of the lovers. In order to fully realize their love, Tristan and Isolde must ultimately transcend life itself. [...] They trace the movement of human consciousness through one of its most delicate, poignant states: the surrender to an absolute, all-consuming love. [...] Act I presents the theme of Purification, the universal act of the individual's preparation for the symbolic sacrifice and death required for the transformation and rebirth of the self' (the artist in: Giuliano Picchi, 'Bill Viola, Tristan und Isolde', Scenography Today, 18 October 2018, Online).Ablutions is a significant and wonderfully compelling work that takes one of the greatest operas ever composed as its inspiration. Viola nonetheless maintains a distance from the grand narrative of Wagner's masterpiece, and in the present work we see the artist's mastery in full flow, conjuring Renaissance painting as readily as sacred gestures. An artist who has defined Video Art, being one of the first to use digital technology at its emergence, Bill Viola's practice has unquestionably shaped the landscape of contemporary art and film, and his works reside in global museum collections that include the Chicago Art Institute; the Fondation Cartier, Paris; the Kunstmuseum Basel; The Redtory Museum of Contemporary Art, Guangzhou; and the Tate Collection, London.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

PAMELA BONE (1925-2021) Six Creative Colour Landscapes, printed or framed 2012, a set of six colour photographs, Cibachrome prints, each from (1970s?) negatives of manipulated images using pre-digital technology, some or all these prints are from multiple superimposed negatives, five signed in ink on the image, four with photographer's hand written notes taped verso regarding the images and framing, images 31cm x 29.3cm, in identical glazed frames 51cm x 49cm Note 1: These six photographs were selected by Pamela Bone and were displayed together at her in residence in Dorking, Surrey Note 2: : Pamela Bone (Lady Pamela Goodale) Pamela Bone (British, 1925-2021) created a significant body of experimental photographic works between 1952 and 1992. Though some of her works were published and exhibited in her lifetime – and she collaborated with notable figures in the world of film, conceptual art and electronic music during the 1970s – this innovative work is now being re-assessed and appreciated. At her death Bone bequeathed her photographic works to the Victoria and Albert Museum. Martin Barnes, Senior Curator, Photography, at the V&A oversaw the accession of this collection. Pamela Bone’s estate included some multiples and small editions of some of her works, these have been released for sale by auction at Flints. Please note that purchasers acquire the original physical print or artwork, where an image is also held in the V&A’s collection, the V&A holds copyright to reproduction of that image. Martin Barnes has summarised Pamela Bone’s career and work: “Bone attended Guildford School of Art between 1952-54, creating black and white still-lifes and portraiture alongside colour work. In 1953, she also studied in Paris with advertising and portrait photographer André Thevenet and worked in advertising. Her photographs were published in Photomonde, Vogue, Queen and House and Garden magazines. In 1958, she went to stay with a student friend in Calcutta and from there travelled throughout the following year in India, Sikkim and Kashmir. On returning to the UK, she abandoned commercial photography and focussed on independent art practice. She photographed in North Uist, Outer Hebrides and around Dartmoor, for her Dartmoor Trees and River series. She also studied sound recording. From 1965 Bone began experimenting with a conceptual slide show of her transparencies, based around the themes of her travels, the seasons and children, still life and landscape. She applied this approach in her printing methods, which combined and overlayed transparencies and prints from different periods with photograms to create dreamlike, textured impressions of imagined landscapes. This culminated in Circle of Light, (1972) an experimental film created from transparencies by Bone collaborating with filmmaker Anthony Roland, video art and installation artist Elsa Stansfield (1945-2004) and composer Delia Derbyshire (1937-2001) of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop (and who famously recorded the Doctor Who theme tune). A VHS copy of Circle of Light is in the V&A National Art Library (NAL). Bone’s approach to collaging and recombining works became her main approach and is a pre-cursor to contemporary practices of sampling. In 1973, she married Sir Ernest William Goodale, becoming Lady Pamela Goodale, but she continued to sign her artworks with her maiden-name. Bone was a lifelong follower of Christian Science. There were many books by the movement’s founder, the religious leader and author Mary Baker Eddy (1821- 1910) in her library. Bone was shy and reclusive and worked largely in seclusion. She set up a Cibachrome colour processing darkroom in 1981 in an outbuilding at her home in Dorking. This process allowed her to make her own direct colour positive prints from her colour transparencies. She made use of ‘lith’ printing as overlay masking for her cibachromes, and also produced pictures using silks. An exhibition of cibachrome prints, Let There Be Light was shown at West Dean College in 1991. Bone ceased printing in 1992 but began meticulously preserving her works. Towards the end of her life, she produced two limited-edition, hand-printed publications of her photographs, Wings of the Wind (2000) and Seven Doors: Finding Freedom of Expression Through Photography (2009) both in the NAL”

Ca. 664-332 BC, Late Dynastic Period.An Ancient Egyptian stone statuette depicting the god Osiris. He is shown seated in mummiform with a braided divine beard, an atef-crown, and a peaceful, idealised face. He is posed with the arms folded across the chest holding a crook andflail. Osiris is the most significant and important god in the Egyptian pantheon. He is known firstly as a god of fertility, then as a god of the underworld. In his role of lord of the underworld, he was associated with a pharaoh and is, thus, generally portrayed as a deceased pharaoh, as seen on this figure.

Ca. 100 - 300 AD.Wearing a heavily draped chiton with a knotted belt beneath the breasts and wrapped in a himation falling from her proper left shoulder and across her waist, her right arm outstretched holding a patera, this female figure is identified as a goddess by the form of her diadem. The figure’s pose and dress draw heavily on the Greek Classical tradition. She is one of the twelve Olympian gods and chief goddess of the Greek and Roman pantheon; sister and consort of adulterous Zeus/Jupiter (q.v.); protector of women and patron deity of marriage and childbirth.

§ PREM SAHIB (BRITISH 1982-) YOUR DISCO NEEDS YOU XXXVI - 2017 Digital print on ceramic tile, signed, titled and dated verso Dimensions:17cm x 20 cm (6.75in x 8in), unframedProvenance:Provenance: To be offered to support The House of St Barnabas (Registered Charity 207242)Based in a Grade 1 listed townhouse in Soho, The House of St Barnabas has helped Londoners affected by homelessness since 1862. In 2013 the building became a members’ club with a difference; combining a not-for-profit creative and cultural space at No. 1 Greek Street with an Employment Academy for people affected by homelessness. Participants learn their craft in front of house, in the kitchen, the bar, or in the charity’s offices: since opening, 254 participants have graduated from the 12-week programme, many of which have secured lasting employment after graduation.The House of St Barnabas’ cultural events, music, and the generosity of members are key to the success of the charity, but the building also showcases work by both established and emerging contemporary artists. The permanent collection of visual art includes the works of Banksy and Tracey Emin alongside a programme of temporary exhibitions supporting emerging artists.The House have kindly been donated 11 works for sale, ranging from sculpture to paintings to support the charity's work. Most of the pieces have been donated by the artists themselves or by the galleries who represent them. Below we take a closer look at the works featuring in our January 2023 sale.2023 is the year of the house’s 10th anniversary. With your support and dedication, the charity hopes to continue to break the cycle of homelessness.Note: Note: Your Disco Needs You XXXVI (2017) is a digital print of a landscape on a white tile, glazed and fired after printing so that the image sits faintly on the surface like a bruise or a stain, hazy and opalescent. The work recalls a glimpsed reflection, in a public urinal's white tiled wall, of a leafy cruising spot in a London park. Spaces exterior and interior; public and private; expansive and intimate; memorialised and forgotten, all fleetingly combine in an eternalised ephemeral moment, a continuation of Sahib's archiving of queer spaces fading from view or relegated to the margins.The work of Prem Sahib embodies a poetic and provocative "destabilised minimalism", referencing the architecture of public and private spaces, structures that shape individual and communal identities, senses of belonging, alienation and confinement. Mixing the personal and political, abstraction and figuration, Sahib's formalism is suggestive of the body as well as its absence, drawing attention to traces of touch and frameworks of looking.In 2023, Sahib will publish That Fire Over There with Book Works, an artist's book developed from Descent, a three-part exhibition at Southard Reid, London in 2019 – 2020. Sahib’s work has been shown widely including solo institutional exhibitions Balconies, Kunstverein Hamburg, 2017 and Side On, ICA London, 2015, as well in group shows at spaces that include Sharjah Art Foundation, Migros Museum, Whitechapel Gallery, Hayward Gallery, KW Institute of Art, Des Moines Art Centre and the Gwangju Biennale. Their work is in the collections of Tate, The Arts Council, Government Art Collection, UK; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, USA; Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art, Norway; X Museum, Beijing, China; and MONA, Australia.

With your support and dedication, the charity hopes to continue to break the cycle of homelessness.Note: Note: Please note this work is sold with accompanying Ceritificate of Authenticity, issued by the artist.Karen Knorr’s past work from the 1980’s onwards took as its theme the ideas of power that underlie cultural heritage, playfully challenging the underlying assumptions of fine art collections in academies and museums in Europe through photography and video. Since 2008 her work has taken a new turn and focused its gaze on the upper caste culture of the Rajput in India and its relationship to the "other" through the use of photography, video and performance. The photographic series considers men's space (mardana) and women's space (zanana) in Mughal and Rajput palace architecture, havelis and mausoleums through large format digital photography.Karen Knorr celebrates the rich visual culture, the foundation myths and stories of northern India, focusing on Rajasthan and using sacred and secular sites to consider caste, femininity and its relationship to the animal world. Interiors are painstakingly photographed with a large format Sinar P3 analogue camera and scanned to very high resolution. Live animals are inserted into the architectural sites, fusing high resolution digital with analogue photography. Animals photographed in sanctuaries, zoos and cities inhabit palaces, mausoleums , temples and holy sites, interrogating Indian cultural heritage and rigid hierarchies. Cranes, zebus, langurs, tigers and elephants mutate from princely pets to avatars of past feminine historic characters, blurring boundaries between reality and illusion and reinventing the Panchatantra for the 21st century.The subjects of Karen Knorr’s work are as geographically diverse as the artist’s own biography: Knorr was born in Germany and raised in Puerto Rico, before she ventured to Paris and settled in London. While she works in video and installation, she is perhaps best known for her photographs and digital collages. Principal themes in her work include the stratification of class, the distribution of privilege and wealth, value systems, the symbolic role of animal representations, and issues of power at the foundation of cultural heritage. Knorr prefers to look at the privileged rather than the disenfranchised; her subjects have included wealthy English classes and their patriarchal systems and frequented clubs. More recently, Knorr has produced a series of digitally modified interiors set in India, based on fables and injustices.

HIRO ANDO (Japan 1973)."Mology pandasanGreen", 2011,Mixed media and polychrome pigment (cast resin). Exemplary 1/8.With protective plexiglass cover with led and base with mirror.Signed and justified on the base.Measures: 33 x 29 x 34 cm.Sculpture made of resin cast in round, covered with green pigment The soft materials, the bright colours, the sharp but rounded shapes of Hiro Ando's sculptures take us to the Manga world in which the artist's generation grew up. Hiro ANDO's art is the meeting of the Meiji era and Manga, it is Shogun in the land of Pokémon, it is traditional Japan seen through young eyes: it is definitely Japanese Neo Pop art. The sculpture presents an aesthetic with a pop or even kitsch finish, not only because of the histrionic use of colour and the industrial finish that sacralises what looks like an "Art toy" and turns it into an artistic object, but also because, through the choice of the panda, it manages to refer to kind values, arousing a certain sentimentality with regard to the piece, as is usual in the kitsch current.In 1995, Hiro Ando began a career as an illustrator after graduating from Tama Art University in Tokyo. In 2005, he founded an artists' studio in Tokyo with another artist, Saori Nakamishi, to manage the creation and promotion of other young neo-pop artists who include their own popular culture in their creations. Today, about 10 artists are part of this "Crazynoodles" studio. Hiro Ando is a versatile artist. He has used oil on canvas, digital media and worked in video art. Hiro's technique consists of making several basic sketches before painting on canvas. The latter take shapes and emerge from the streets of Tokyo at night, are dressed in colours and graphics and move in groups. Hiro paints dark cityscapes with red fish scattered across the canvas. The combination of the two themes makes the whole canvas dynamic and violent, with a strange sense of eternity due to the red fish reminiscent of old Japanese paintings and watercolours. Recently, Ando added sculptures to his wide variety of media and began working on a series of sculptures inspired by his Japanese folk culture. Throughout his international career he has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions including; Ando Sculptures, Galerie Tony Rocfort, la Baule, France, Collective Show, COVA Gallery, Eindhoven, Colors of Japan, Galerie 193, Paris, Context Art Miami, ZK Galleria, San Francisco, USA, CrazyColors CrazyNoodles, Galerie JacobPaulett, Paris, Permanent Ando Show, Artion Gallery, Greece, Ando Sculptures Show, ZK Gallery, San Francisco, USA and Show CrazyNoodles, Galerie Jacob Paulett, Paris, among many others. His work currently forms part of important private and public collections, including the collections of the Israel Museum and the Salsali Private Museum, Dubai.

La Vie en Rouge - Olivia Roze Spray paint on canvas 594 x 878 mm ARTIST STATEMENT: This piece is a stencilled spray piece using street art techniques. I was inspired by Teddy Baden’s work after being selected for an Art for Guernsey Scholarship and visiting Teddy in London. I wanted to capture a moment in time using a modern technique; also creating something beautiful and delicate. The flow of the hair and the free expression of the face, then stripped back to black and white with one bold colour to make the expression pop!ABOUT THE ARTIST: Olivia Roze won the Public Vote Prize in the Sovereign Art Foundation Students Prize, Guernsey 2021 with her artwork "Freya" and also was selected for an Art for Guernsey Scholarship.

A sheet of A3 tracing paper of the original preliminary cutaway artwork depicting the iconic Armoured Personnel Carrier vehicle from James Cameron's 1986 masterpiece Aliens. Drawn by by John R. Mullaney in 2014.Commissioned by Insight Editions and 20th Century Fox Studios, the artwork formed a crucial stage of the approval process between studio and artist for the eventual art's publication in the high-end collectible title Alien : The Weyland-Yutani Report. Hand-drawn by John, the original artwork was approved by the studio and publisher as well as by a project Brain Trust of franchise consultants, comprising of prominent collectors, archivists and enthusiasts from the fan community. The artwork is as screen-accurate as available reference allowed, with the artist piecing together all the details using rare on-set production photography and film-stills to ensure a definitively canon reproduction of the vehicle's layout. The artwork evolved over an extensive series of approval versions, as John worked closely with project collaborator and 2D artist Graham J. Langridge to hone the detail. The artwork was then reproduced at large format size and carefully traced to form the set-up for the final full colour artwork which appears on pages 114-115 of The Weyland-Yutani Report.The artwork's evolution can be seen in a special making-of film produced by the artist who is also an award-winning film-maker. The time-lapse film has currently received over 60,000 views on Youtube, and continues to wow fans and viewersAbout the ProjectOf all the franchises John has been commissioned to illustrate, the Alien franchise remains his most personally beloved. Between 2005 and 2006 John created his self-initiated cutaway art of the Colonial Marines Dropship from the 1986 sequel as a proof of concept for an entire book of cutaways depicting the iconic craft and locations from the franchise. The artwork became a limited edition collectible produced by Acme Archives and rapidly sold out. In 2014 he was commissioned by Insight Editions to paint a cutaway of Aliens' APC which appeared alongside the Dropship art and 8 other new artworks of hardware from the franchise in high end collectible Alien: The Weyland-Yutani Report.

Both the Dropship and APC cutaway originals artworks sold to a private collector. In 2018 John was commissioned to produce six new colour 2D artworks of craft from the series for Free League's Alien Role Playing Game title, with each piece rendered using the same intricate techniques as for his 3D cutaway work. Valuation note: the full colour artwork later sold to a private collector for £3,500.

A sheet of A4 tracing paper of the original preliminary cutaway artwork produced by John R. Mullaney depicting the iconic Pulse Rifle from James Cameron's 1986 masterpiece Aliens. Drawn by John R. Mullaney in 2013. Page measures 35 x 21cm.This concept art was used to convey art direction given to ILM artist Drew Pace as a mock-up for a digital cutaway artwork of the weapon for a proposed in-universe publication called The Weyland-Yutani Files. Conceived by John and the Alien Brain Trust between 2012 and 2013, the project was ultimately surpassed by Insight Editions' The Weyland- Yutani Report - licensed by 20th Century Fox Film Corporation – for which John was chosen by Fox as one of the two illustrators.When planning the content for this title, the Pulse Rifle artwork was used as a proof of concept for weapons cutaways but ultimately the publisher did not have the budget for this and a full-colour non-cutaway artwork of the iconic weapon was instead produced. Working from photos provided by the Harry Harris collection, John's final colour artwork of the Pulse Rifle appears on pages 104-105 of The Weyland-Yutani Report (see lot images, book not included in lot).About The ProjectOf all the franchises John has been commissioned to illustrate, the Alien franchise remains his most personally beloved.

A sheet of A3 tracing paper containing the original high-detail preliminary for the cutaway artwork of The Baneblade Tank as published in Warhammer 40,000 Apocalypse: Catacylismic Battles – 2013 / Published by Games Workshop. Drawn by John R. Mullaney in 2016. Measures 42 x 30cm.Commissioned in 2012, this precisely drawn high-detail artwork was the basis for the eventual full-colour artwork published the following year and underwent multiple changes before this final preliminary was approved by Games Workshop.The exterior of the Baneblade tank was set up using a photo of the vehicle's GW model kit, but the interior had never been seen before and required extensive collaboration between John and the GW team. Running with their brief that the interior should look like a 'World War II U-boat meets a Cathedral', John employed real world submarines and tanks as reference to achieve a mechanical verisimilitude. GW supplied John with a wealth of reference and instructions to create the look of the 40K architecture mythos & its characters, including the wealth of servo skulls, servitors and human gunners that inhabit the vehicle.About The ArtistA lifelong fan of science-fiction cinema, John R.

A sheet of 300gm watercolour paper containing the original watercolour, gouache and ink character art composited into the cutaway of 'The Night Buzzard' as featured in Star Wars Episode IX Rise of Skywalker. Painted by John R. Mullaney in 2020.Measures 26x18.5cm. The three characters were hand drawn and painted at a larger scale than the cutaway itself to allow for more detail and flexibility of positioning before they were digitally composited into the eventual piece. Reference photography of each character was provided by Lucasfilm and this was used to ensure screen-accuracy. An additional unpainted image of Ushar peering inside a storage crate was drafted before John and the team at DK and Lucasfilm decided he would be depicted in a different posture and location. Ushar's mace was also drafted before it was decided to composite the photographic version of the character's weapon. Consideration had to be given to each character's colouring to ensure it matched the lighting of the main cutaway and the relative position in which they would be located.

A sheet of A3 tracing paper of an initial preliminary artwork depicting the legacy characters' route through Mos Eisley spaceport as featured in Star Wars Episode IV A New Hope. Drawn by John R. Mullaney in 2001.Measures 29.5 x 19cm. This artwork was produced as part of the planning process undertaken by the artist, DK art editor John Kelly and Lucasfilm's project consultant Curtis Saxton.The artist's brief was to produce an aerial cityscape view of the infamous “hive of scum and villainy”. But accurately plotting the buildings glimpsed in the Mos Eisley sequence required a forensic approach. By using shadow directions seen in the 1977 original as well as the 20th anniversary reissue edition, and matching background architecture that appeared in more than one shot, the team were able to calculate the relationship between buildings which line the route taken by Kenobi, Skywalker and the droids - from the outskirts of the city to the notorious Cantina, before they later head to Docking Bay 94. With the route plotted, the artist was then able to build up the rest of the spaceport ultimately creating one of his most ambitious and prestigious paintings to date, with the eventual artwork personally approved by George Lucas. Originally appearing on pages 12-13 of the original title: Inside the Worlds of Star Wars Trilogy, the art has been subsequently published in multiple reprints of the Inside the Worlds of Star Wars and Incredible Cross-Sections series.Two decades on from the creation of this vital first planning sketch, the final illustration remains the only published canon depiction of the city's layout in the franchise's history.About The Series In 1999 John was approached by Dorling Kindersley and Lucasbooks to be the third illustrator on their world-famous Star Wars Incredible Cross Section series.

A sheet of A3 tracing paper containing the original high detail preliminary for the cutaway artwork of Truth and Reconciliation as featured in Halo Warfleet – An illustrated Guide to the Spacecraft of Halo (see images, book not included) licensed by 343 Industries and published by Egmont. Drawn by John R. Mullaney in 2016. Measures 42 x 25cm.This detailed artwork underwent extensive discussion as most of the internal elements had yet to be seen within the Halo universe, with just the Hangar seen in gameplay. A notable detail from gameplay present within the preliminary which did not make it into the final colour artwork is the bridge, the position of which proved too elusive for 343 to definitely locate within the ship. More than just a preliminary, this artwork acted as a high-detail blueprint for the final artwork, precise as the scale allows. Once approved, the artwork was then reproduced at large format size and carefully traced with a lightbox onto watercolour paper to form the set-up for the final full colour artwork. The eventual artwork which was set-up using this preliminary art appears on pages 62-63 of Halo Warfleet – An illustrated Guide to the Spacecraft of Halo.About The ProjectIn 2016 John was approached by illustrator Hans Jenssen asking if he would like to collaborate on a Halo cutaways project on which he was already working. This was a huge deal for John – given that just under two decades earlier John had begun his career in architectural illustration by forensically studying Hans' and Richard Chasemore's work in DK's first Star Wars Incredible Cross Sections title. Aspiring to one day work on these famous titles – which he did in 2001 – John has ever since based a great deal of his cutaway technique on Hans' work. Published by Egmont, licensed by the team at 343 Industries, and overseen by lead-writer of the Halo Universe Kenneth Peters, the book project saw Hans produce artworks of all the human-built ships in the book whilst John depicted the Covenant fleet. These ships’ organic curves and unusual design represented a departure from the more utilitarian designs seen in Star Wars and Alien, as well as an opportunity to apply new digital techniques to the hand painted artworks.

A sheet of A3 tracing paper containing the original high detail preliminary for the cutaway artwork of High Charity as featured in Halo Warfleet – An illustrated Guide to the Spacecraft of Halo (see images, book not include) licensed by 343 Industries and published by Egmont. Painted by John R. Mullaney in 2017.Measures 29 x 34cmThe interior of this vast entity had never been seen before within the Halo universe, so the authors and illustrator spent significant time and effort establishing the internal layout and structure. The artwork evolved over multiple iterations with the artist setting up some of the geometry using 3D modelling, before transferring approved geometry to the high detail hand-drawn artwork which was then scaled up to form the basis for the full-size artwork. More than just a preliminary, this artwork acted as a high-detail blueprint for the final artwork, precise as the scale allows. Once approved, the artwork was then reproduced at large format size and carefully traced with a lightbox onto watercolour paper to form the set-up for the final full colour artwork. The eventual artwork which was set-up using this preliminary art appears on pages 56-67 of Halo Warfleet – An illustrated Guide to the Spacecraft of Halo.About The ProjectIn 2016 John was approached by illustrator Hans Jenssen asking if he would like to collaborate on a Halo cutaways project on which he was already working. This was a huge deal for John – given that just under two decades earlier John had begun his career in architectural illustration by forensically studying Hans' and Richard Chasemore's work in DK's first Star Wars Incredible Cross Sections title. Aspiring to one day work on these famous titles – which he did in 2001 – John has ever since based a great deal of his cutaway technique on Hans' work. Published by Egmont, licensed by the team at 343 Industries, and overseen by lead-writer of the Halo Universe Kenneth Peters, the book project saw Hans produce artworks of all the human-built ships in the book whilst John depicted the Covenant fleet. These ships’ organic curves and unusual design represented a departure from the more utilitarian designs seen in Star Wars and Alien, as well as an opportunity to apply new digital techniques to the hand painted artworks. Click here to see the full gallery of John's work for Halo.About The ArtistA lifelong fan of science-fiction cinema, John R. Mullaney has over two decades experience producing beautifully detailed sci-fi cutaway art for publications licensed by major film studio properties. His career in studio-licensed sci-fi cutaway art began in 1999 when he was recommended by the Society of Architectural Illustration to Dorling Kindersley who were looking for an additional illustrator for their Star Wars Incredible Cross Sections series of publications. Following an extensive audition process, John secured the position and subsequently illustrated multiple iconic locations and ships from the franchise. In addition to his work with Lucasfilm, John has gone on to be commissioned by many other major studios such as 20th Century Fox, Pixar, Universal Studios, 343 Industries, the BBC and Games Workshop. As well as Star Wars, he has produced art for Alien, Batman, Halo, Firefly/Serenity, Doctor Who, Wall-E and Warhammer/40K. Published by DK, Lucasbooks, Insight Editions, Egmont, Titan and Free League, John ensures his artworks are as screen-accurate as the reference allows, working not just from film-stills but from production blueprints & digital models, on-set photography and archive imagery of original miniatures.Each unique large format piece has a production time running into hundreds of hours, using a process of carefully applied multiple watercolour layers, to achieve a complex and nuanced richness of colour, tone and texture. Measuring up to 76x55cm these intricately detailed large format pencil, watercolour, ink & gouache pieces on 300gm watercolour paper, pack a huge visual punch. Alongside these are the preliminary artworks for most cutaways. These pencil artworks are all created on A3 tracing paper and form the basis for the full colour artworks - the majority are as detailed as the size of paper allows before they are enlarged and traced. In a world of predominantly digital art, John's original paintings of iconic vehicles and locations from world famous science fiction properties have become much sought-after unique investment pieces for pop culture collectors, film enthusiasts and corporate buyers.John is a fellow and council member of the Society of Architectural Illustration, and is also an award-winning film-maker.

JULIEN, ISAAC1960 LondonTitel: Baltimore. Datierung: 2003. Technik: 3-Kanal-Videoprojektion von drei parallel laufenden Filmen. Zeit: 11:36 min. Auf SUB-MASTER Digital Betacam und drei DVD-R. Exemplar: Ex. 4/6. Zu der Videoinstallation liegt ein vom Künstler unterschriebenes Zertifikat vom 21. Juli 2004 vor. Zudem wird sie durch umfassende Installationsanweisungen begleitet.Provenienz: - Victoria Miro Gallery, London- Sammlung Prof. Dr. Thomas Olbricht, EssenDie Arbeit "Baltimore" thematisiert die Kinematisierung der Videokunst. Das Walter Art Museum, das Contemporary Museum und das Great Blacks in Wax Museum werden zu den zentralen Orten und Thema von Juliens Werk, ähnlich früherer Arbeiten wie "Vagabondia" und "Three", in denen ebenfalls Museen zum Handlungsort werden. Durch die präzise gewählten Drehorte rückt Julien so auch die im Oeuvre des Künstlers häufig anzutreffenden Themenschwerpunkte Rassismus und Gender in den Fokus seiner Beobachtungen. Julien verbindet diese Orte in einer Art Hommage an die Filme des Schauspielers und Regisseurs Melvin Van Peeble, mit dem "Blaxploitation-Kino", das mit seiner "tough talking, hard-living"-Mentalität als Symbol für "black empowerment" steht. Die Videoinstallation ist nicht nur ironisch und weist Bezüge zur Strömung der Funk-Musik auf, sie vereint ebenso Nostalgie und Futurismus und schwankt zwischen rauen und feinen Elementen. Durch diese übergreifende Umsetzung der Arbeit entzieht sich Juliens Werk der einfachen Kategorisierung.Erläuterungen zum Katalog
