ONLINE AUCTION! YES! Curated by the fabulous @ar

ONLINE AUCTION! YES! Curated by the fabulous @artofcompassionproject, part of this weekends @vegfestuk online festival. I have several artworks included in the mix, but there are also 240+ other prints to choose from, donated by over 70 of our wonderful AOCP artists. Bidding for each print starts at only £15! :-)

Why not treat yourself to some top quality art AND simultaneously donate to very worthwhile causes? IT'S A WIN-WIN SITUATION!!

Here's the Facebook page - GET OVER THERE AND START BIDDING!!! https://www.facebook.com/artposterauction

All the artwork has been donated to raise funds for our two chosen charities, Vegans Against World Hunger and NSW Hen Rescue. 💕

Register at the @vegfestuk website and, as well as this auction, you can also see some short videos which display the artwork which, in less troubled times, would have been at the Vegfest in London Olympia. The festival is on all this Saturday and Sunday, but the bidding for the art posters doesn't end until August 22nd. 😍

THE CITY OF LIGHT (acrylic paint on A2 paper -details)
2000
'Pouring out of the city beneath the Rising Sun Clock, the crowds jostled and weaved, thronging the well-trodden paths to distant meetings and markets. The colours of their bodies leaked into the sky to mingle with the clouds and slowly darkened the day with a heavy hue, until the Sun Clock faded and they trod wearily home, colourless once more.'

HEKA (acrylic paint on A2 stretched canvas)
2002
'The spirit of this timeless age
Awakes in rock and flame,
The passion turns the living wheel –
Its heart will beat again
.
And all the people dance and sing,
The painted faces glow –
And smiling, savage, hungry, wild,
The colours swirl and flow...'

@agitate.art launches tomorrow! An online gallery

@agitate.art launches tomorrow!

An online gallery of 'Protest Art' curated by @helen.ara
and myself.
'AGITATE ART' has been an idea nurtured by Helen and I since we attended the International Animal Rights Conference in Luxembourg last year. As longstanding animal rights artists we found ourselves outside our comfort zones (and our field of experience) realising the wealth of other issues that interlinked with the animal rights cause that we specialised in. Issues of politics, feminism, race and gender to name but a few. And so we decided to educate ourselves and broaden our horizons, and that's how AGITATE was born.

We have a handful of completed videos ready to launch, and are in the process of contacting other artists, poets, sculptors, etc hailing from all over the globe. The intention is to create a gallery that grows as we ourselves learn about how creativity is being used to combat ignorance, prejudice, and injustice.

Hopefully it will be a valuable (and interesting) resource for anyone seeking inspiration for their own acts of 'creative protest'.

Please follow the link in the AGITATE ART bio and subscribe to our channel.
Thank you for your support!
