The inimitable British artist revered for her physical, fearless use of oil paint; Maggi Hambling's powerful, emotionally charged landscapes and seascapes are increasingly sought after. An early precursor to the artist's highly acclaimed 'North Sea' paintings, this untitled and uninhibited work (created during the period of her Orwell Estuary series) exudes a turbulent energy that is singularly Hambling’s own.
Renowned for her impressionistic seascapes,
the Suffolk-born artist, Maggi Hambling, has
been painting the waters off the East
Anglian coast since 2002. One of the earlier
works from this ‘North Sea’ series, ‘High Sea,
August’ encapsulates the wild ferociousness
for which these coastal waters — and
indeed the artist herself — are so famed.
A leading figure in contemporary art since the 1990s, Emin achieved international fame with the ground-breaking installations ‘Everyone I Have Ever Slept With 1963-1995’ and ‘My Bed’. Raw, confrontative and yet intensely intimate, ‘Grand Hotel I, 2016’ perfectly captures that same radical, brutal honesty for which the artist is so rightly revered.
From the Scottish contemporary artist’s series of satirical portraits, highlighting the hypocrisy of cultural hierarchies. Exhibited:
One of Britain’s most revered and influential sculptors, Robert Clatworthy rose to prominence in the mid-1950s. Exhibiting at the time alongside Alberto Giacometti, Francis Bacon and Pablo Picasso; today his work is found in London’s Tate Gallery, Victoria and Albert Museum and National Portrait Gallery. A subtle, elegant modernist piece: ‘Relief’ is a superb example of this well-collected artist’s abstract later work.
