DAVID WHITTAKER (UK)
(b. 1974)
Whittaker was born in Cornwall and is currently based in Newquay. He is self-taught and has exhibited widely.
In 2005 he was selected to show at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and, in 2011, won first prize at the National Open Art Competition.
Whittaker uses the head, human psyche and his own identity to explore a world of opposites: calm and conflict, hopes and fears, conscious and subconscious, male and female.
“People can almost be moved to a strange peace when presented with powerful art. They understand who they really are or what things are really about. If only everybody could put their guns down for a minute, they might be able to figure it out.”

OLEK (Poland)
(b. 1978)
Born in Poland, Brooklyn-based Olek works in sculpture, installation and fibre art. Using the old-fashion technique of crocheting in her practice, she appropriates everyday objects and the ephemeral medium of yarn. Her meticulous yet playful bursts of colour often mask political and cultural critiques.
Olek has exhibited and ‘yarn bombed’ worldwide including at Instituto Sacatar, Heinz Nixdorf Museums Forum, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Brooklyn Museum of Art, Wynwood Walls at Miami Art Basel, and Smithsonian American Art Museum.
“A loop after a loop. Hour after hour my madness becomes crochet. Life and art are inseparable.”

Mixed media on found metal
Signed on reverse
50 cm x 50 cm

MATT SMALL (UK)
(b. 1975)
London-based Small uses found objects sourced from the urban environment as the canvas on which to base portraits of overlooked and underprivileged young people. In this way, he re-invigorates discarded items, and people, once set aside by mainstream society. He is a BP Portrait Award nominee and winner of the Villiers David Art Prize, and has exhibited in Los Angeles, New York, Seoul, Amsterdam and at SCOPE Basel.
“With so much conflict, oppression and overt hatred being justified towards fellow humans around the world, any organisation that raises awareness about the plight of others should be supported. Human creativity can inspire others to realise what ‘being human’ actually is - we too easily forget what our true potential is on this amazing floating rock.”

VICTOR ASH (France/Denmark)
(b. 1968)
Ash began his artistic career as a graffiti writer in the early 1980s. He was part of the legendary Parisian collective BBC/Badbc and a contemporary of Bando, Mode2 and JonOne. Ash’s more recent work often concerns themes of contrast between country and city, nature and culture. Since his gallery debut in 1989’s seminal Les peintres de la ville, organised by fashion designer Agnès b., he has exhibited regularly worldwide. Famed for his large-scale murals, Ash’s Astronaut Cosmonaut in Kreuzberg, Berlin is considered the largest stencil work ever created. He lives in Copenhagen.
“This work, Falling Graffiti Writers, is my personal story. I started to paint outside when I was a teen. Looking for an identity, I never thought I was going to be an artist when I started out, but freedom allowed me to decide and freedom is a result of peace.”

KNOW HOPE (US/Israel)
(b. 1986)
Based in Tel Aviv, US-born Know Hope has created a number of controversial works in his home city examining bilateral conflict and the quest for identity. His practice often uses found wood, vintage frames and aged paper to reference ideas of temporality and translucent habits of memory. Most recently he has exhibited in London, Newcastle, Los Angeles, New York, Cape Town and Tel Aviv.
“This piece deals with the idea of patriotism and observes the almost automatic submission that societies adhere to. It speaks of a collective and universal notion of the overcoming of these specific borders.”

SHRADDHA SHRESTHA (Nepal)
(b. 1988)
Shrestha is a designer, illustrator and street artist from Nepal. She is inspired by cartoons and political art, and loves to play around with her imaginary characters. Shrestha is a founding member of Artlab, a collective of young street artists based in Kathmandu who use the city’s walls to communicate their messages. She tags herself as ‘Deadline’.
“When the earthquake struck on 25 April 2015, apart from all the catastrophic damage and loss, we experienced a different Nepal, we experienced true unity. There was no caste, no religion, and no social hierarchy that divided our society. We were helping each other as one, even for the smallest need. Through this disaster I think we learnt that if we unite then everything can be achieved harmoniously. Peace for us right now is unity, and through this work I wanted to portray this view.”

YOLA (Poland)
(b. 1970)
Currently living in London, Yola studied animation and visual effects at the Polish National Film School and CFT Gobelins in Paris. She specialises in large-scale paste-ups, combining her passion for Renaissance art with her training in image manipulation and digital composition. She often uses local inhabitants in her public art practice and her creations have adorned walls and whole buildings in Melbourne, Buenos Aires, London, Paris and Warsaw.
“I met these two in San Francisco, the man was a Mexican poet and she an ex-nurse. They were older when they met and real lovers. It is a real dialogue between two people who embodied love. That is what I want to portray in my artwork – make love, not war. They both recently passed away only within four months of each other. This work is a memorial and celebration for the life of love they shared.”

TAMMA AZZAM (Syria)
(b. 1980)
Born in Damascus, Azzam currently lives and works in Dubai. Following the outbreak of violence in Syria, he uses his art to highlight the conflict and to juxtapose humanity’s ability to both create and destroy. Azzam works increasingly in digital media while often referencing street art, recognising both mediums as powerful and direct tools of protest. Although his work often exhibits strong political undertones, he insists that he is not a ‘political artist’.
Azzam has participated in solo and group exhibitions at galleries and institutions worldwide including Fondazione Giorgio Cini in Venice, De Tolhuistuin in Amsterdam, Rush Arts in New York, Abu Dhabi Festival, and Ayyam Gallery in London and Dubai.
“Themes of displacement and cultural and physical destruction are most prevalent in my artwork. Of course, art in isolation cannot change the world but it can open up important and useful dialogues that can generate new and varied perspectives.”

His practice explores issues of cultural identity and iconography to challenge, re-appropriate and subvert popular icons. His works have been exhibited at the Royal Dublin Society, London’s National Portrait Gallery, Art Wynwood, SCOPE New York, and with Aureus Contemporary.
“We are persuaded by powerful and exploitative marketing which uses familiar mythical, fairytale and even religious imagery and it’s everywhere. In Hong Kong I was struck how the billboard faces of western movie stars and super models fight for attention at street level with barely an Asian face in sight. Their scale and presence dominates the environment.”

Using textiles, bullet-proof ceramics and security-state objects as the conduit to express his ideas, War Boutique symbolically transforms instruments of war and destruction into items embodying creativity, peace and critical social commentary. He has collaborated with the late Alexander McQueen and military tailor Gieves & Hawkes, and his Peace Pods have hung in Tate Modern, Tate Britain and the British Museum. In 2011, he was subject of a joint exhibition with Banksy at Andipa Gallery.
“Cities will always need policemen in some form. Peace Shieldis a reminder of how delicate a balance of power is enshrined in these roles. We need to tackle the loss of transparency, accountability and trust head on, and constantly re-examine the covenant between law enforcers and ordinary people, if we want to make our communities more peaceful and inclusive.”

Trained as an architect, Shade has always felt an avid fascination for the Surrealists, as well as the freedom which surrounds abstract painting. The themes behind his compositions often combine iconic symbolism with a sharp, ironic touch. His large-scale, epic paintings can be seen in the streets of east London, where he is currently living and working.
Shade has exhibited in Concepción in his native Chile, New York, Miami, Amsterdam, Berlin and Moscow.
“The girl is playing with danger. At the same time, these flowers are being removed by this girl. It’s a sign of hope for our already polluted world.”

GANZEER (Egypt)
(b. 1982)
Ganzeer is part of a new generation of politically engaged artists working to effect change using creative means of expression. During Egypt’s ‘Arab Spring’
uprising of 2011, he called on artists to support peaceful protest through their practice. Ganzeer considers himself a ‘contingency artist’: one who uses whatever
means are necessary to tackle issues of state violence, corruption, sexuality and resistance.
He has exhibited in Bahrain, Brazil, Canada, Finland, Germany, Greece,
Jordan, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the UAE and United States, as well as in Cairo. His work can be found in institutional collections such as Barjeel Art Foundation, Davis Museum, and RISD. Ganzeer currently resides in Los Angeles.
“If world leaders and policy-makers are sincere in wanting global peace to prevail, the dismantling of armies and weapons of war is not a very absurd thing to demand.”

TEURK (France)
(b. 1976)
Valentin Béchade, known as Teurk, is a French graffiti and contemporary artist. He has produced a number of anti-war pieces in cities affected by conflict, and in 1998 famously painted upon the ruins of the 16thcentury Ottoman bridge of Mostar destroyed by a Croatian tank bombardment. In recent years, he has turned toward working with metals, and uses magnetic fields to create unusual modern art pieces. Teurk remains faithful to his graffiti roots, however, and his work is informed by his constant desire to make us see things from a different perspective.
“I want to question the place of man in a world he himself has covered in concrete. I want to introduce the possibility of fault, a crack from which the possibility of change and resistance can grow.”

Aditya Aryal, aka Sadhu X, is described by the The New York Times as Nepal’s ‘most influential street artist’. His work often features stencil imagery of police, brightly coloured animals and traditional Nepali motifs. In 2012 Sadhu X and fellow Kathmandu artists founded Artlab, a graphic design collective that works with the community to teach the power of expression through street art.
“The chaotic collage background is the political poster of Nepal that I collected from the street. Political instability in our country has created a chaos and fear among the people, and the recent earthquake has not helped and made the situation much worse. But this artwork I have created is about not losing hope in this harsh time and uniting to rise up and find peace of mind.”

His work has been exhibited widely, including at Galleria Studio 99, Galerie Le Marais, Palazzo Strozzi, Teatro della Pergola, Palazzo Medici Riccardi, as well as commissioned by numerous prestigious institutions including Banca Popolare del Lazio, Istituto
Tommaso Crudeli and Castello di Poppi.
“Urban spaces for me are a place of exchange. It’s about questioning, without barriers, the views of others and creating a social debate.”

Confirm your bid
By confirming your bid, you commit to buy this item if you are the winning bidder at the end of the auction and you agree to the terms of this auction.
SIGNED IN AS :
When bidding on an auction item, if you enter more than the minimum increment for an item then your bid will be used for proxy bidding. This is how it works:
1. You enter the absolute maximum that you are willing to bid for an item.
2. jumblebee places a bid on your behalf, using the minimum amount required to make you the highest bidder, i.e. current bid price plus bid increment OR the reserve price, if there is one and it can be covered by your proxy bid.
3. jumblebee continues to bid on your behalf, whenever you are outbid by another member's bid, until your maximum bid is exceeded or the auction is won.
4. jumblebee will notify you by email if your maximum bid is outbid by another member and provided the auction is still running, you will then have a chance to enter a new maximum bid if you wish.
For example:
The current bid on an auction item is £100. The minimum increment is £10. You enter a bid of £150 (your maximum bid).
Using your bid, but increasing only by the minimum increment, jumblebee sets the current bid to £110.
Another person bids £130 but they are immediately outbid by jumblebee bidding on your behalf and the current bid goes up to £140.
The auction finishes and you have won the auction item at a price of £140.
