P. & M. Guénégan, 'Amédée Ozenfant 1886-1966, Catalogue raisonné de l'oeuvre peint', St Alban, 2012, p. 526, no. 1960/011 (illustrated)
Notes:
Amédée Ozenfant was a French cubist painter and writer, who, together with Le Corbusier, was responsible for founding Purism, a highly influential 20th century art movement. The two artists set out the theory behind Purism in the 1918 publication Après le Cubisme. The manifesto emphasised the purity of the geometric and simplified forms that made return to recognisable forms.
Nature morte, Tabagie was created during Ozenfant's later years, whilst writing his Mémoires. Unfurling his past on paper helped him revisit the essential values of Purism on canvas. He returned to his favourite themes - the depicted stacked cups / bowls appear in sketches 40 years earlier - and placed them into introspective, ethereal landscapes. One can almost feel the contemplative air of the painting; the calming wisp of exhaled smoke, left to linger whilst the artist reflects upon their life's work.

- The Watcher - Kate Brinkworth, photorealist, dice, casino, black and white, artBy Kate BrinkworthLocated in London, GBKate Brinkworth (b.1977) The Watcher (Black and White No. 2) 2013 oil on canvas 90 x 135 cm Price: £8,400 GBP (inc. 20% UK VAT) Provenance: Direct from the artist’s studio Notes: Kate Brinkworth undertook her artistic training at Nottingham Trent University, and graduated in 2000 with first class honours. She rapidly began exhibiting her work, and her first major solo show took place in 2001 at Britart Gallery, London. Her success led to further exhibitions across the country and abroad, and she began featuring regularly in several international art fairs and won numerous awards. These include the Westgate Prize (2004), and a commission from GUS headquarters in Mayfair. Kate Brinkworth's painting stems from her curiosity in films, particularly those directed by or in the style of Hitchcock. She is particularly inspired by effects created though experimentation with focus, and repeatedly photographs her still lifes with various shutter speeds, camera angles and lighting to find the optimum composition. Brinkworth's style uses the language of film, advertising and photography to create these unique images; her visits to Las Vegas have developed her interest in the representation of objects associated with vice. Painted in varying degrees of focus, her expert technique deceives the viewer into believing the work is a photograph, due to the realism of her subject matter and style, and the thin application of paint which gives a smooth, glossy finish. It is only on closer inspection that the viewer realises the work is entirely painted by hand. Brinkworth's works challenge our perceptions of the image; in our contemporary world inundated with visual stimuli, she painstakingly labours over her compositions to make us look at these familiar objects in a new way. In a parallel challenge to contemporary conventions her technique mirrors the Renaissance mural technique of the 'cartoon', a drawing which would be pricked along the lines and dusted with charcoal to transfer the skeleton of the image to the wall. Brinkworth similarly maps out her photographs onto both sides of sheets of paper and rubs the reverse to move the image onto the canvas. Once the composition is mapped out, she begins working into the picture in oil using her distinctive technique.
