Christabel Blackburn Dry cleaners, Pacific Palisades Gouache on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) This lot has been curated by Millie Foster About London based artist Christabel Blackburn (born London, 1986) is a painter who conjures atmospheric scenes which focus on the interplay between people and spaces. Using a sensitively reduced visual language, Christabel distils the modern world and our interaction with it into quiet, concentrated scenes. Her figures are largely locked in their own universe, traversing streets formed of intersecting flat planes or drinking in art in colour drenched galleries. Her practice exists in a finely tuned space; we believe this world and yet it is removed from our own in its timelessness and absences. Largely gone is the paraphernalia of the twenty first century and what emerges in the space is a sense of order but more importantly psychological suspension. Perhaps these are what our memories or dreams of a sunny day might look like, no sound, rarely any shadows and none of the encumbrances of existing in the world. Women particularly take up space in an interesting way, confidently walking away or engaging with art alone.

Mackenzie Thorpe There's Nana, 2023 Watercolour on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) This lot has been curated by AOAP About Born in the late 1950's into humble beginnings, that era's customary career path was in the shipyards and industry of the area and upon leaving school at 15, Mackenzie Thorpe followed this predetermined path. Unhappy and feeling like a fish out of water, he kept creating, until his passion for drawing compelled him to forge his own path. Against all the odds he gained a place at his local art college before completing a degree in fine art in London in 1982. In 1989 he opened a gallery in Richmond, North Yorkshire and eventually his work (and popularity) went from strength to strength, his work being championed by William Hague MP. In the mid 1990's, he was signed up by an American art publisher who helped launch him in the United States, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. Since then, he has continued to create distinctive artwork and exhibits both in the UK and internationally. In recent years Mackenzie has devoted time to developing bronze sculpture, with these unique and distinctive pieces now enhancing private gardens and homes, with larger scale works being commissioned for international businesses and hospitals. He is currently developing new work for an exhibition in 2024, at the Umm El Fahem Gallery in Israel which is aimed at uniting the diverse cultural and social relationships in this area. Commenting he said, 'as a British man I'm honoured to have been invited to exhibit at this prestigious gallery which aims to build peace and tolerance through art. It feels like a huge responsibility but using art as a kind of third language, as I do, allows my art to connect to people irrespective of age, gender, nationality, race etc, so whilst it is a challenge, I am excited'.

Cathy Tabbakh Cobalt Monstera, 2023 Acrylic on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) This lot has been curated by Verity Babbs About Cathy Tabbakh is a French painter working in the UK, with a passion for the mesmerising power of colour. She has exhibited in various galleries in Europe, the UK, USA and Australia and soon in Seoul, Korea. She holds degrees in Fashion Textile, Design and Fine Art (2011) and Art History and Archaeology (2017) both in Lyon. Cathy's work can be found in private collections worldwide and since 2021 as part of the Soho House Collection, with 2 paintings commissioned a displayed in Soho House Paris (2021), a commissioned floral ceramic sculpture displayed in Brighton Beach House (2022) and several works soon to be in High Road London in Chiswick, coming September 2023. Cathy's work collides imaginary forms with existing landscapes through the use of both architectural and botanical elements. Her compositions incorporate a hint of surrealism, as to alter presumed proportion, and a saturated colour palette to punctuate the contrast between shadow and light. Tabbakh's still-lifes show her desire to surround herself with green spaces combined with her love for architecture and interior design. She recently introduced ceramics into her practise, reflecting the colourful and bold style of her still-lifes.

Ken Nwadiogbu Pay Attention Charcoal and acrylic on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) This lot has been curated by AOAP About Ken Nwadiogbu (b. 1994, Lagos, Nigeria) is a self-taught multidisciplinary artist, based in Lagos, Nigeria. A trained civil engineer, he soon pivoted to fine art, first embracing hyperrealism and charcoal drawing before expanding his creative horizon to more conceptual works and a wider array of techniques, including acrylic painting, sculpture and installation. His works are inspired by iconic American contemporary art figures such as J.-M. Basquiat, Kehinde Wiley, Toyin Ojih Odutola and Kerry James Marshall. On Ken's large canvases, stories superimpose themselves in multiple layers. Mixing together hyperrealism with contemporary elements, he creates ingenious, politically charged visual illusions that deploy a singular outlook, daring the audience to question their own, for "value lies in the perspective". Defending an art that can be at once smart and fun, he explores grave matters in intense colours and playful cut-outs, addressing altogether black representation and identity, displacement, and socio-political control. Popularly known as KenArt, Ken is credited for introducing the "Contemporealism" movement and was named by Guardian Life as one of the most "Outstanding Personalities" in Nigeria. In 2019, he was awarded the prestigious The Future Awards Africa in recognition of his contributions to the Nigerian arts community. A core focus for him is to inspire and encourage young creatives. He does this through public speaking and mentorship, as well as through his creative companies. He nurtures an art collective called 'Title Deed' and co-found Artists Connect NG, the largest artist gathering in Nigeria, created to foster creativity, collaboration and community. His works have been exhibited in a number of galleries including Omenka Gallery ('Insanity' group show, Lagos, 2016), Retro Africa ('In the making', Abuja, 2018), Bricklane Gallery ('Contemporealism', London, 2019), Bomb Factory Art Foundation ('Journey Mercies', London, 2021) and Thinkspace ('Ubuntu', LA, 2021).

A RESIN HORSE SCULPTURE

An Elizabeth II silver seal top style spoon, mark of Graham Stewart, London 2010, the shaft engraved COURT AND LADIES DINNER JULY 2010, 17cm long, 1.6ozt Graham Leishman Stewart (1955 - 2020) was one of Scotland's foremost late 20th and 21st century goldsmiths and silversmiths. Stewart established his workshop in Dunblane in 1978 and produced his work using traditional techniques such as raising, cold forging, chasing and planishing. His creations were sculptural and clean and drew inspiration from nature. Arguably, he was the creator of one of the most viewed pieces of modern silver in the UK - his sculpture, ‘Three Honours’ - which is on display in the main hall of the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh. Overall in good condition with no obvious signs of damage or repair. Some light surface scratches as to be expected. Hallmarks and engraving clear and readable.

There is an intimacy inherent in this piece which is difficult to locate in Chadwick's sculptures from the 1950s and 60s and a sense of privacy that we feel as the passing viewer. The male, positioned behind, lifts his right thigh and hip as if he may be about to envelop his partner in a protective and tender moment. The gentle and naturalistic modelling of the female's torso and breasts recalls Chadwick's slightly earlier Elektra I (1968) but here only the faces are polished to give a sleek and shiny surface. The present work rejects the rougher more primitive finish of his first major figure group, The Watchers (1960). The female contrasts most effectively with the more rigid, angular planes of her partner. He is less rounded and voluminous, and the two exquisitely complement one another. It is likely the couple are simply sunbathing, raising their necks so that their faces, at right angles to their bodies, are fully exposed to the rays of the sun they are apparently worshipping. Two Reclining Figures was made shortly after Chadwick and his wife Éva established their own foundry, at Lypiatt Park, Gloucestershire. With Éva by his side, and looking after the business side of his profession, Chadwick emerged out of a period of debt in the 1960s into one with more financial stability. His international reputation had long been secured, and with the luxury of his own foundry from 1971 the sculptor was able to scrutinize the accuracy and quality of the casting process.We are grateful to the Artist's Estate for their assistance in cataloguing this lot.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

(Edward Lucie-Smith).It is true, as Edward Lucie-Smith comments, that Frink's large and imposing Leonardo's Dog II resembles the attractive Hungarian gun-dog breed of Vizslas; although the sculptor maintained they were not based on any one particular breed. The droopy ears, rounded nose and raised eyebrows lend the dog an inquisitiveness and friendliness which is also conveyed in her maquette for the present work. However, the author also notes:'It would have been easy to sentimentalize subject-matter of this type, and transform it into something unbearably kitsch. It says much for Frink's talent, and for her temperament – her attitude towards the natural world – that she was able to avoid this trap. Her avoidance of it is perhaps the more remarkable considering that some dogs she depicted are scarcely out of puppyhood.' (Edward Lucie-Smith, Elisabeth Frink, Sculpture Since 1984 and Drawings, Art Books International, London, 1994, p.19).As is often the case with Frink's animal sculptures the idea for representing the dog was established early on in her career, during the formative years of the 1950s. In one particular bronze, Blind Beggar and Dog (1957) the animal is used in a protective role, leading its helpless master forward in search of money. The dog's legs have been attenuated in much the same way as her other bronze, Dog from the same year, so that the creature takes on the appearance of something more wild, like a jackal perhaps. Revisiting the subject 35 years later this comforting idea, of protection, had not left Frink; the title of the present work was inspired by the stone dogs which guard and protect the entrance to the Chateau de Cloux near Amboise, Leonardo da Vinci's home when he died in 1519. Again, the dog is there to serve, ever faithful, but in this instance depicted in a far more domesticated fashion, one which is more accessible to the viewer and representative of the animal she is working from.It is difficult to appreciate when looking at a photograph of Leonardo's Dog II just how solid and three-dimensional the sculpture is. There is a 'presence' and weight attached to the work which Lucie-Smith has likened to the monumentality of War Horse for Chatsworth. Only upon walking the complete way around the sculpture can the viewer engage and appreciate the power behind this alert beast. Its vaguely rendered and over-sized paws serve to fix the seated dog to its chosen location, whether indoors or outside, and the lack of modelling to the surface emphasizes the vastness of the dog. Created in the penultimate year of her life, Leonardo's Dog II is a fitting tribute to Frink's love affair with all types of animals over a four decade long career.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
