About the Item

Margaret J. Hambling CBE (born 23 October 1945) is a British artist. Though principally a painter, her best-known public works are the sculptures A Conversation with Oscar Wilde and A Sculpture for Mary Wollstonecraft in London, and the 4-metre-high steel Scallop on Aldeburgh beach. All three works have attracted controversy. Hambling is known for her intricate land and seascapes, including a celebrated series of North Sea paintings. Among her portraits, several works are held by the National Portrait Gallery, London. In 1980 Hambling became the first artist in residence at the National Gallery, after which she produced a series of portraits of the comedian Max Wall. Wall responded to Hambling's request to paint him with a letter saying: "Re: painting little me, I am flattered indeed – what colour?" She has taught at Wimbledon School of Art. Women feature prominently in her portrait series. Hambling was commissioned by the National Portrait Gallery to paint Professor Dorothy Hodgkin in 1985. The portrait features Hodgkin at a desk with four hands, all engaged in different tasks. Her wider body of work is held in many public collections including the British Museum, Tate Collection, National Gallery, Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art and the Victoria and Albert Museum. painting shows her North Sea series measuring 6 x 4 inches, including frame as shown5 x 4.5 inches.

In his early years Colin Kent studied and worked as an architect. He was elected a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours in 1971 and then became a full time painter. His landscapes and interiors are painted from his memories, feelings, and impressions, displaying the romantic elements and the spirit of places filtered through his own vision and artistic sensibilities. He transforms the ordinary view into an extraordinary vision through his use of tonal contrasts, texture, and light and shade, creating works which have vitality, spontaneity and a sense of timelessness. Colin experiments continuously using a variety of water based media and collage. This mixture of media often takes over during the painting process dictating the shape and flow of the work. He has exhibited at the Mall Galleries London, receiving the Linda Blackstone Award at the RI exhibition, and also the Buzzacott Award amongst others. Colin has also exhibited at the Royal Academy London, The Royal West of England Academy, the Guildhall and many of the best fine art galleries. His works are in collections in the UK, U.S.A, France, Germany, Finland, and Japan. Pink Cloud...
