An Introduction to the New Works by John Hoyland RA, Barbara Rae CBE RA and Sir Peter BlakeWe got 2010 started in style with beatutiful new releases from three of the mst important artists working in Britain today. Follow the links below to take you directly to the product pages of our new releases.
Sir Peter Blake Paris Suite The Paris Suite consists of four limited edition silkscreen prints, available individually and as a set. Following the massive success of the Venice Suite, CCA are delighted to announce the release of the Paris Suite: Eiffel Tower, Four Man Up, Birds, and Dancing, Place de la Concorde. In the same whimsical and comedic style in which Blake evoked the canals of Venice, he now guides us through the city of light. Blake again creates his compositions through collage, running the full gamut from the delicate sentimentality of Eiffel Tower to the joyously absurd sight of the Opera Garnier under the weight of an ornithological overload in Birds. Blake once again finds inspiration in the pages of his Larousse illustrated dictionary and animal husbandry manuals; juxtaposing the best of Parisian architecture with an eclectic selection of human figures from every conceivable ethnographical background and beautiful illustrations bird and beast. Each silkscreen print in the Paris Suite is from an edition of 125, each is signed and numbered by the artist.
John Hoyland RA Life and Love Warrior Universe John Hoyland's latest works, Life and Love and Warrior Universe remind us why he has been hailed as 'England's answer to Mark Rothko'. Hoyland's work has the ability to look beyond the the appearance of the visible world; he creates images that inspire the spirit, that liberate and fire the imagination. Both works display the freedom of composition and powerful use of colour for which Hoyland is so famous. The dynamism of these works arrests the eye and quickens the pulse. Edition of only 100, all signed and numbered by the artist.
Barbara Rae CBE RA Quarry Edge Red Sky Barbara Rae's new silkscreens evolve from her last CCA landscape publications to reflect her skill as a purely abstract artist. They reveal her skill at manipulating form and colour, and re-affirm her incredible gift as a colourist. Though both pieces: Quarry Edge and Red Sky are inspired by specific features in the landscape, Rae uses them merely as departure points for a flight of colour and sweeping primordial shapes. Rae uses soft washes of bold colour, merging form, line and hue delicately into each other. She contrasts this gentle handling with dynamic composition; breaking up the picture surface with thrusting vertical and horizontal lines. The works vibrate with a pervasive energy, drawing the viewer in to Rae's vision. Mending Broken HeartsCCA Galleries is proud to announce the Mending Broken Hearts Art Appeal. The Mending Broken Hearts Appeal is one of the most important fundraising efforts ever undertaken by the British Heart Foundation. Its goal is simple; to raise £50 million to fund the research that could literally ‘mend the broken hearts’ of millions. Our Art Appeal is original in several ways; firstly because we are asking artists not just to donate a piece of their work, but to create a new piece specifically for the cause. And secondly, because the portfolio will bring together a unique group of Britain's leading artists. We have gathered a truly remarkable group of artists to contribute to the project including Sir Peter Blake, Brendan Neiland, Tom Phillips, Antony Micallef, Patrick Hughes, Bruce McLean, Jonathan Yeo, Maggi Hambling, Robert Ryan and Marc Quinn to name just a few. The artists have been given completely free-rein in what they produce, as long as it is inspired by ‘mending broken hearts’, the result is a collection of artwork that while based on a shared concept reflects the diversity and personal style and approach of each of the artists. Consequently the portfolio will range in ethos from sunny and heart-warming, to dark and mysterious, to witty and humorous-something to appeal to everyone! The original artworks donated vary from oils and acrylics on canvas to works on paper, collage etc. In many cases artists have chosen to create a design for their silkscreen print that varies from their original artwork, giving us an impressive array of imagery for the appeal. We cannot reveal any of the artwork as yet- but watch this space. The Mending Broken Hearts silkscreen portfolio will be released this summer- further details will be revealed shortly. For more information on the fantastic work the British Heart Foundation do please visit www.bhf.org.uk CCA at The London Art Fair - 13th - 17 th JanuaryCome and visit CCA Galleries at Stand G3-G4 at the London Art Fair, Business Design Centre, Islington from 13th-17th January. This is your chance to see our beautiful silkscreen prints and original paintings in the flesh. The CCA Art Bus should also be stopping at the art fair - weather depending New ReleasesWe are delighted to announce the release of new silkscreen prints from Sir Peter Blake, Barbara Rae CBE RA and John Hoyland RA at the London Art Fair. From Sir Peter Blake we are proud to present the Paris Suite; a series of 4 images inspired by the city of light and constructed in a collage style, full of wit, humour and charm. Abstract master John Hoyland has created two stunning and dynamic new images: Life and Love and Warrior Universe. These arresting images encapsulate the effervescence of Hoyland's style, revealing why Hoyland has been hailed as 'England's answer to Mark Rothko'. By contrast Barbara Rae's new pieces : Quarry Edge and Red Sky exude an aura of serenity and instrospection; their soft tones emphasizing Rae's gifts as a colourist.
