This magnificent oil painting by Modern British artist Roy Spencer draws inspiration from avant-garde French artists such as Matisse and Raoul Dufy. This artwork strikingly exemplifies the strong connection between their styles. The piece is characterised by its vibrant colour palette, dynamic and decisive lines, and the unwavering, steady gaze of the subject. It exudes a profound sense of gravitas reminiscent of the works of the classic French masters from the early 20th century. The details of the work are: Roy Spencer (British, 1918 - 2006) Nude with bracelets Oil on board 35.1/2 x 29.1/2 in. (90.3 x 75.2 cm.) Born in Stamford, Lincolnshire, Spencer grew up in Stroud, Gloucestershire, and articled as an architectural pupil in 1936. During the war Spencer served with the Royal Engineers in Egypt and Italy, and it was during this time that he met John Stanton Ward, who became a life long friend. Often drawing together, Ward’s enthusiasm was inspirational and galvanising, and on demobilisation Spencer enrolled at Chelsea School of Art, whilst simultaneously teaching at Wimbledon. Upon finishing at Chelsea as a student he became a tutor there, working with Robert Medley, Raymond Coxon, Susan Einzig, Julian Trevelyan and Elisabeth Frink. He also became a visitor at Camberwell. Amongst his students were Quentin...

"After centuries of suppression, women ascend to high positions (e.g., a modern-day falcon-headed Egyptian goddess). Women will lead (e.g., pulling a camel caravan).

Getting out of one's comfort zone and ending the anxiety by rebuilding the lineal composition, the contrasts of color, textures and even the narrative. This happens just by throwing an impulsive stroke of red paint. While the figure is not in real danger, i.e. actually bleeding, but instead the red paint represents stepping out of one's comfort zone. It means to leave the status quo...

Using pornography as a vehicle for understanding, Rick Sindt's work explores the discovery and development of queer attraction. Sindt transforms pornographic stills, repurposing them into images of intimacy. Rick Sindt Without Heaviness oil on panel 12h x 9w x 1.50d in 30.48h x 22.86w x 3.81d cm RIS040 “This body of work has been crystalizing in my mind for about five years,” says Sindt, “It is the product of reflecting on how the places I learned the most about myself, and my desires, are considered something that sullies a person, something taboo.” Focused on the experiences of gay men, this body of oil paintings depicts moments that range from tender touches to more sexually explicit acts. “It was important to me that I only represent what I know,” explains Sindt, “I identify as a man, and I am attracted to others who identify as men. I don’t believe it is my place to speak on behalf of other members of the queer community whose experiences I am unfamiliar with.” “In creating this work, I spoke with men who told me about how they hid magazines when they were a kid, took out P.O. Boxes in their small hometowns to protect their privacy, and learned how to cover their tracks on the internet. These secretive acts become necessary when the need to understand yourself is great, but your world is bereft of representation."

Expressionist female nude portrait by noted Scottish artist Douglas Thomson. The painting is signed bottom left and signed and titled to the back of the canvas. There is an original exhibition title and price label to the frame. Presented in original plain wood frame. A colourful and striking portrait of a female nude. Her rich red hair falling over her shoulders, her pose calm as she stares out from the canvas in a wistful way, her mouth set. Thomson has created flesh tones, wonderful contrast of colours between the sitter and the background curtain and wall and a texture to the canvas to create added interest. A really interesting and engaging portrait. Douglas Thomson was born in Greenock in 1955 and after studying at the Glasgow School of Art 1974...

Seven deadly sins are the seven vices that spur other sins and further immoral behavior. First enumerated by Pope Gregory I (the Great) in the 6th century and elaborated in the 13th century by St. Thomas Aquinas, they are pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth. Each of these can be overcome with the seven corresponding virtues of humility, charity, chastity, gratitude, temperance, patience, and diligence. It is clear that as a subject matter, David Becker prefers the seven deadly sins to the virtues!
