I am so pleased to welcome you to this special Evening of Art Auction at The Assembly Rooms, Bath, and I particularly wanted to take this opportunity to express my most heartfelt thanks for helping to raise vital funds to support The Prince’s Trust in the South West of England.
I know that some of you have supported my Trust for many years now, but for those of you who are unfamiliar with our work I am very keen for you to be aware of the enormous difference your support will make.
When I set up my Trust with my Royal Navy severance pay in 1976, I knew that some young people were slipping between the cracks of society and that something needed to be done to pull them back out.
Since those rather humble beginnings, my Trust has grown into a somewhat large organization which really does change lives. Often, when young people first come to us, their confidence and self-esteem have taken such a battering that they are unable to look anyone in the eye. Through my Trust, they are welcomed and nurtured. They are offered sanctuary, a place of safety and respite from what are often exceptionally hard lives.
My Trust now works with 59,000 young people across the United Kingdom each year, choosing to focus energies and efforts on those young people who, others say, will amount to nothing. We are adamant that everyone can amount to something, given the right support.
My Prince’s Trust changes these lives and you can have no idea how proud I am of these remarkable young people. I need hardly say that I hope you can find a way to make my Trust part of your life because it is only by working together that we can continue to make a real difference.
Events like this are enormously important as they raise crucial funds to help more vulnerable young people. I am, therefore, immensely grateful to Coutts who have supported this event for a number of years and to the AA as a new sponsor; to The Roper Family Trust; to The Evening of Art Committee, and to the other volunteers who have been instrumental in organizing this event and who have contributed to the success of this splendid occasion. Together, we can change so many more young lives across the United Kingdom.

Dear Supporter, On behalf of The Prince’s Trust South West, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to this fantastic art collection. All of these wonderful pieces have been generously donated for our fourth Evening of Art Auction by some of the country’s most renowned artists. We are hugely grateful to them for making this event possible. This auction gives you the chance to acquire some truly outstanding art. With your help we will raise significant funds to support disadvantaged young people across the South West. I would like to thank our sponsors and supporters Coutts & Co, the AA and The Roper Family Trust. As a result of their contribution all of the money raised from this event will go straight towards changing the lives of vulnerable young people. We are also grateful to Nick Oliver for hosting the Live Auction. Furthermore I am very grateful to Emma Sykes of Bonhams who has provided her expertise in valuing all the artwork. The Trust has supported over one million young people since 1976 and we continue to help more each and every day. Our ambition is to unlock the potential of the next one million young lives, within a decade. As such we are transforming the way we work and the means by which young people can access our services. This summer, we launched Prince’s Trust Online which enables young people to engage with our services and mentors outside of the 9 to 5 and also allows us to reach out to more rurally isolated young people. Our traditional services will remain our core activity. Indeed last year we supported 60,534 young people across the country including 3,073 in the South West. With your support tonight we can do more. I am very grateful to the committee of volunteers, Alyson Warhurst, Dani Jefferies-Clarke, Nina Dolan, Richard Neville and Jenny Bower, who have worked so hard over the last year to help plan this event. I would also like to thank those who have provided pro-bono support. Once again, my most sincere thanks to the artists for their wonderful artwork, and to you for your invaluable support.
Rozzy Amos The Prince’s Trust Director, South Region

Lot 2 Carol Symon (British, b. 1949) Paddling in Red Hat Mixed Media Signed bottom right 385mm x 520mm Provenance: Donated by the Artist to The Prince’s Trust Evening of Art. £80 - £120 Originally trained in fashion design, Carol changed focus setting up and running her own travel business for 30 years. Having sold that 13 years ago she returned to art and the challenge of painting again. “I’m an artistic adventurer, exploring and experimenting with the infinite choice of media and mixing them in very diverse styles” she says. The appeal of mastering the different techniques keeps her from the restraints of concentrating on any particular medium. “Landscapes, still life and animals in action, frequently inspire me, but I particularly love to feature people in my pictures.” Her compositions often infer an under-lying narrative or a sense of fun in the context of an everyday life situation. She lives in Bath, painting in her garden studio. Over the last 6 years she has been exhibiting in various locations including Winchester, Chichester, Stockbridge, Liphook, Bath, Portsmouth, Norton St Phillip and Frome. In 2016 she won the Vera Skinner Award and the Appleyard Trophy. For more, go to carolsymonartwork.com (Artwork website)

Giles Penny’s Artist’s Statement - “My focus of expression is the human form, which acts as a vehicle to explore the interaction between the physical and abstract worlds. The resulting form allows the viewer to experience a sense of consciousness, which is transmitted through the work. I use various media including clay, wax, plaster, wood, and resin to originate sculptural forms, which usually result in a bronze cast. My time is divided between the practices of sculpture and of two- dimensional media, being either painting, drawing or printmaking.”

Lot 12 Jessica Rosemary Shepherd (b. 1984) Rosa ‘Playboy’, 2011 Watercolour on paper Signed Bottom right 400mm x 290mm Provenance: Donated by the Artist to The Prince’s Trust Evening of Art £200 - £300 Jessica is a botanical painter. When she paints plants she tries to become them. There is a great deal of observation involved even before her brushes touch the paper. She trained in botany before committing herself fully to painting so that she would understand the processes of plants more comprehensively. Equipped with this scientific knowledge, she is now testing new approaches to her artwork to push the capacity for botanical illustration to bring greater awareness of plants and our interaction with them. She hopes to inspire people to think beyond their experience whilst enriching our current perceptions of botanical illustration, its applications and how it sits within the larger scope of the visual arts. inkyleaves.com

Lot 17 Dragomir (b. 1969) Off the Wall, 2016 Acrylic and Spray Paint on Paper Signed on reverse 595mm x 840mm Provenance: Donated by the Artist to The Prince’s Trust Evening of Art £400 - £600 “I use the process of painting to document physical and psychological presence, investigating the communicative function of colour and form as a reaction.” The starting point of each painting is based on some form of narrative, which inevitably informs the course of painting. However, in the process of painting, it is not a question of making ever more references to the narrative, but a deliberate attempt to escape from it. Therefore the paintings may be observed for what they are rather than what they should mean.

Lot 19 Martin Elphick (British, b.1951) Caryatid (after A Modigliani), 2016 Bronze Resin Signed at bottom right 390mm x 290mm Provenance: Donated by the Artist to The Prince’s Trust Evening of Art £200 - £300 This relief was inspired by the famous painting (1911?, Musee d’Arte Moderne, Paris) by Amedeo Modigliani of his intimate friend Anna Akhmatova posing as a caryatid. His fascination with caryatids is said to have been triggered by ancient relief carvings, and the series of caryatid studies was intended to be developed as ‘Pillars of Tenderness’ for a public Temple of Beauty. “I hope that I have preserved the beauty of Modigliani’s line, and gone on to interpret the subtlety of his modeling of form. I decided not to try to emulate the indications of a background against which the figure is set in the painting. I modeled the piece first in clay, and this, the first of an edition of ten in ‘cold cast bronze’ is cast directly from that original. The casting is set in an oak panel. I am based near to Bath, and I make both figurative and abstract sculptures in a variety of materials.” To find out more information, visit Martin’s website martinelphick.com

He later studied Fine Art at Carlisle College of Art. After moving to London he embarked on a successful career as a freelance illustrator, working for many leading publications such as the Sunday Times and Radio Times. Wishing to escape the bustle of London, he moved to North Norfolk in 1999, and there he discovered a whole new world to explore; a landscape consisting of an immeasurable expanse of sea and sky. Often set against the backdrop of the stormy North Sea and the rugged landscape of Cumbria, much of Paul’s work includes his ladies walking their reluctant dogs in the wind, rain and snow, romantic interludes, and bustling towns created from his imagination, based on the eccentric characters he spots on his travels and his familiar childhood surroundings, as well as the beautiful towns and villages dotted along the North Norfolk coast. Having grown up surrounded by the magnificent Cumbrian Fells, Paul has yet to tire of the beaches and seascape only a brisk stroll away from his home. The Beachcomber is an example of the fascination of the rock pools that lure visitors to the beach, each hoping to find that elusive hidden treasure. Paul Robinson’s work is included in private, corporate and public collections worldwide. paulrobinsonpaintings.com 33

I am naturally drawn to shapes of artefacts and objects from other cultures and other times but that remain timeless. Erosion and change through time and nature are recorded in a piece. My main aim in my work is not to compete with nature, but for the work to evolve within the environment. The minerals, like iron and copper that I introduce into the ceramic surface have their own affect on the clay. This erosion process continues with sanding so that the texture and cracks do not interrupt the surface but become an organic, integral part of the patina. Each individual piece takes on its own developing surface, its own history and its own aesthetic. I am merely the maker.” For more information on Peter’s work please visit peterhayessculpture.com

Most recently, in 2015, Blake was commissioned by Tate Liverpool and Liverpool Biennial to ‘dazzle’ a Mersey ferry, to commemorate the dazzle ships of World War I, the resulting design Everybody Razzle Dazzle covers the ferry Snowdrop with his distinctive geometric pop patterns, turning her into a mobile artwork.

Sir Peter said: “This print references both my early work and my recent Dazzle commission. I am proud to help Liverpool Biennial continue its impressive record of working with artists to create ambitious and challenging new work.” Knighted in 2002, an honorary doctor of the Royal College of Art, and with his work represented in major collections throughout the world, Peter Blake truly is a grandee of British art.

She has recently returned from living in New York for two years where she completed a Masters in Fine Art at the New York Academy of Art. Since 2002 she has exhibited widely in exhibitions in the UK and elsewhere, including the Royal Society of Portrait Painters, the Threadneedle Art Prize, the Lynn Painter Stainers Prize, and the New English Art Club Annual Exhibitions. In 2010 she was elected to membership of the New English Art Club after being awarded the NEAC's Cecil Jospe Prize in 2009. Both her figure paintings and other work are done from preparatory drawings and direct from life, and the discipline of drawing is key to her work, in order to discover the real subject and underpin the composition of a painting. Particularly in her still lives and architectural paintings, she finds the ostensible subject is less important in itself, but provides the starting point to explore and describe the spatial, geometric, and colour relationships of the image. She is interested in the interplay of the three dimensional subject with the geometry of the picture plane and draws out that quality out in the final image. tessacoleman.co.uk

In the series ‘Panel Paintings’ the rectangle is divided into sections; the challenge is to bring the discrete elements into a dialogue or relationship. The process is analogous to memory, loss and retrieval as the surface is layered, abraded and reworked, creating pentimenti and a shift beneath the surface. The distinct sections hold the image in place. susanpreston.com

I had been reading a lot of J G Ballard’s short stories at the time, and he has ended up being an incredibly accurate dystopian soothsayer for the state we’re in as a society and a world in environmental and moral meltdown. We seem to have lost our way. After a week of dull work in the office, here a couple are dressed up in their Onesies, about to go out for a heavy party at the other end of Town. In true Ballardian fashion, it’s as if this bacchic weekend life in the suburbs, makes the mundanity of contemporary life in middle England somehow bearable. Pretty much every woodcut I make is made in an edition variable. In the process of making the work I change colours and marks mid-way through the print on each and every image from the edition. This means the making of the work is more like a series of paintings or monotypes in the studio, with the matrix of the cut wood keeping the prints as an edition.” tomhammick.com

Her contemporary jewel like paintings are steeped in historical knowledge of different mediums she makes for textures. For more details of Nina’s work please visit ninadolan.co.uk

LIVE AUCTION LOTS
Live Lot 1 Daisy Sims-Hilditch (b.1991) Track to Mary’s, Panzano, 2016 Oil Painting signed bottom right corner 235mm x 330mm Provenance: Donated by the Artist to The Prince’s Trust Evening of Art £700 - £1,000 Born in 1991 Daisy was brought up in Wiltshire and it was there that she began drawing and painting as a child. She developed a keen interest in plein air painting from an early age after visiting the Musee de L’orangerie in Paris as a teenager. She left feeling totally captivated by the paintings of the impressionists, in particular Claude Monet and Alfred Sisley. Daisy has since painted around the world in locations such as Morocco and Venice, creating a large body of work. Daisy says, “I get excited by the changing light, whether it be stormy skies in Cornwall or light at the crack of dawn in Florence”. In her early years Daisy’s portrait of her grandfather was in the top 20 of the Saatchi Gallery and Daily Telegraph’s School Art Prize and was exhibited in the Saatchi Gallery. Having spent the past four years undertaking a rigorous training in sight-size portraiture at the Charles H Cecil studios in Florence, Daisy has developed a passionate appreciation for painting from life. Daisy’s work has now been recognised by a number of the top artists awards in the Country. As well as being selected for the BP Awards 2016 with her portrait of ‘Alessandra’ being exhibiting at the National Portrait Gallery. In the same year, Daisy’s painting of ‘Franzisca’ was admitted into the Royal Institute of Painters Annual Exhibition which, at the time, recorded the highest ever level of submissions. She continues to have her works recognised in 2017 having been awarded the Sara Stuart’s “Golden Buzzer prize” exhibiting at the Fine Art Commissions “Fresh Paint” Exhibition and Exhibiting at The Royal Society of Women artists annual exhibition at The Mall Galleries. Recently Daisy’s donation of a Daisy Sims-Hilditch portrait commission to Philip Mould’s Charity ‘Plant Life’ received the highest bid of the evening! Philip Mould a leading specialist in British Art and Old Masters recently described Daisy as “an extremely versatile painter in the landscape and portrait traditions working both in plein air as the Impressionists before her and in the studio on ‘sight-size’ portraits of remarkable naturalism and elegance. Stylistically her handling of the medium is both painterly and refined in its application. In this respect she is an artist who understands how to control and manipulate paint in order to achieve portraits of astounding intimacy and beauty”. Daisy now works from one of the fabulous Rossetti Studios on Flood street where she undertakes portrait commissions. daisysimshilditch.com 65

She exhibits regularly with Eames Fine Art and Advanced Graphics London as well as widely in the UK, Europe and Australia dividing her time between studios in London and Italy. More of her work can be seen on her website: “At a time when the art world seems to be full of artists attempting to shock and denigrate, Klein’s intimate, life affirming work comes as a welcome breath of fresh air. Her works convey a unique pleasure in the everyday moments that make life special”. Vincent Eames, Eames Fine Art “Ravel said he wanted his music to be complex, but not complicated. Anita Klein might say the same of her art. There is a grand simplicity to her works, but that is not the same as saying they lack subtlety and ambiguity. On the contrary, they have the sort of unselfconscious directness that comes from living and breathing art for so long that it becomes second nature” – John Russell Taylor For more information on Anita’s work, please visit anitaklein.com

Any questions in relation to the auction should be directed to the Seller and not to the auctioneer, who serves merely as auctioneer for the Seller in conducting the sale (the “Auctioneer”). The Sale is subject to the following terms and conditions which govern the sale of all the Lots offered (as amended by any posted notices or oral announcements during the auction) (the “Conditions of Sale”): 1. a) The Seller assumes no risk, liability or responsibility for the authenticity or the authorship of any Lot (that is, the identity of the creator or the period, culture, source or origin, as the case may be, with which the creation of any property is identified herein); b) The Lots are sold with all faults and imperfections and errors of description; c) The Seller does not make or give and does not agree to make or give any representation of fact, undertaking, obligation, guarantee, contractual promise or warranty or undertake any duty of care of any kind or nature, expressed or implied, in relation to any description (which shall include inter alia physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, genuineness, attribution, authenticity or provenance) of any Lot or any estimate in relation to it, nor in relation to satisfactory quality of the Lot or its fitness for purpose. No statement made in the auction catalogue, notice or description, at any time before, during or after the Sale, in any Sale invoice or elsewhere, will be deemed to be such a representation of fact, undertaking, obligation, guarantee, contractual promise or warranty. 2. Any Lot may be withdrawn by the Seller at any time before the Sale. 3. Unless otherwise announced by the Auctioneer at the time of the Sale, all bids are per lot as numbered in the catalogue. 4. All bidders must be capable of forming legally binding relations under English law. By bidding in the Auction, any bidder is warranting that they are legally entitled to do so. 5. The Seller reserves the right to reject a bid from any bidder. Lots may be offered subject to a reserve price.

If any dispute arises after the Sale, the Sale records of the Seller will be conclusive in all respects. 6.

The sale of any Lot is complete and the Contract for Sale is made at either the fall of the Auctioneer’s hammer in the case of the live auction, or at the announced closing time of the silent auction. Thereupon, the highest bidder acknowledged by the Auctioneer for any Lot is the purchaser (the “Purchaser”) of that Lot and is contractually bound to: a) assume the risk and responsibility of the Lot; b) sign a confirmation of purchase thereof; and c) pay the full amount of his highest bid for the Lot within three working days (the “Purchase Price”). 8.

If the Seller is prevented from performing its obligations under the Contract for Sale by circumstances beyond its control or if performance of its obligations would by reason of such circumstances give rise to a significantly increased financial cost to it, the Seller will not, for as long as such circumstances prevail, be required to perform such obligations. In such circumstances, the Seller will not be deemed to be in breach of the Contract of Sale, or be liable for failure to fulfill any of its duties there under and will only be liable to refund the Purchaser such sum that is equal to the Bid Amount (where this has been fully paid by the Purchaser) less any costs incurred by the Seller in connection with the Lot. 18. References in these Conditions of Sale to the singular will include references to the plural (and vice-versa) and reference to any one gender will include reference to other genders. 19.

Every year we help over 3,700 disadvantaged young people in the South West overcome barriers and move towards a brighter future. On average it costs £1,000 to support each young person. We can’t continue our work without your help.
