Mr Jago - Untitled Red
Lot # 7 (Sale Order: 7 of 86)
Estimate - Range: 400 - 600Size: 42cm x 59.4cmArtist: Mr Jago
Mr Jago - Untitled Red Medium: Spray paint and acrylic on 230 g/m acrylic paper Dimensions: 42cm x 59.4cm Living and working in Bristol, Mr Jago (Duncan Jago) is often described as a veteran of urban art. Growing up in the small village of Eye, Suffolk, Mr Jago had an intense interest in graffiti and comic books, which led him to study illustration at the University of the West of England. It was there that Mr Jago would meet the other members of what would become the now renowned Scrawl Collective. Following immediate commercial success, which led to collaborations with some of the world’s biggest international brands, Mr Jago’s early, doodle-derived mark making evolved, taking the idioms of spray painting to a level of sophistication rarely seen in the medium. Indeed, there is maturity and depth in Mr Jago’s use of colour that hints at the mineral traces left by geological time, or the complex nebulae of Deep Space revealed by Hubble’s keen eye. Most recently, Mr Jago’s work has further evolved through the introduction of oil and impasto techniques, confounding Mr Jago’s classification as either an urban or a fine artist. Mr Jago’s work has been exhibited extensively worldwide and is held in both public and private collections.

Deams and Georgina Anton - Paradise Phantom
Lot # 10 (Sale Order: 10 of 86)
Estimate - Range: 100Size: 92cm x 46cm
Deams and Georgina Anton - Paradise Phantom Medium: Household emulsion, spraypaint, acrylic & ink on canvas Dimensions: 92cm x 46cm Tom Deams is a U.K based Graffiti Artist. Since first experimenting with spray paint in 1988 he has created pieces around England, Europe, Australia and Dubai. Eventually Re-located to Bristol in 2009 to become involved in the lively art movement and to produce more large scale work. The past few years Mr Deams has been actively searching for the ‘Ultimate’ Graffiti piece from within. Over 1,500 murals later the search still continues. ‘Accidental robotic patterning to create letterforms is the ongoing project alongside traditional graffiti techniques’ As well as creating pieces regularly around the U.K Deams produces canvas work and prints from his studio in central Bristol. Plans for the future include painting something somewhere else one day. It could be said that Georgina Anton, whose love of graffiti inadvertently led her to failing the 11+ exam, owes it all to a dedicated art teacher and the monetary gift of encouragement they left upon their passing, so as to nurture her obvious talents. Today, Anton’s audience remains appreciative of both her line and brush work, which thrives on the freedom she grants herself when working. Anton’s atmospheric creations continue to reflect her love of nature, aesthetics, simplicity and style, with loose, crisp edges currently guiding her long-serving curiosity with all things strangely beautiful.

Her work has been exhibited in various galleries around Bristol including Centrespace, Spike Island, Room 212 and the Royal West of England Academy. Her work has been shortlisted for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and has been featured in several books about printmakers. Mary’s work was exhibited in the University of Bristol’s ‘Tinsel Prints’ exhibition and one of her prints is now part of the Theatre Department’s permanent collection. She is also a regular exhibitor with the North Bristol Artists on their trail each year. Mary uses special cutting tools to carve her designs into lino plates – some prints are made using up to four different plates for different colours. On larger pieces she etches the lino using caustic soda (as in ‘Bella’s Leap’), which gives a more painterly effect. She then rolls the ink onto the plates and prints them onto locally-made Somerset paper using an etching press. Mary hand prints all her work in her own studio and where possible likes to make each print unique by incorporating original background material such as old book pages, antique maps, banknotes and gold leaf into the print.
