Already established as quite an event on the London art calendar and have they really only been holding their Summer auction events for just five years?  Art on a Postcard say they are delighted to announce their fifth annual Summer Auction in support of The Hepatitis C Trust. The auction boasts an extraordinary line-up of emerging talents and established names in the art world including Corinna Button, whose multidisciplinary practice encompasses painting, sculpture and printmaking and whose work has been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions over the last two decades; Jeremy Deller, an AOAP-favourite and celebrated English conceptual artist and Turner Prize winner; American artist Larissa Bates, whose artwork has been the subject of solo exhibitions around the world including London, Berlin, New York and Madrid; and rising star Kora Mora Rojo, whose vibrant symbolic paintings have been exhibited in Mexico, Milan and London, with an upcoming debut solo show later this year.

Joining the roster is Zimbabwean-born artist Tafadzwa Masudi, whose poignant portraits featuring balloons and exploring the diaspora experience have garnered widespread acclaim and were recently featured in a solo show at JD Malat Gallery and at 1-54 London; British printmaker Kate Gibb, known for her captivating music sleeve artworks, most notably for The Chemical Brothers; and Irish painter Paul Nugent, whose uniquely layered paintings have been exhibited worldwide, including a solo exhibition at the VOLTA, New York.
 
The auction features a host of notable emerging talent on the cusp of greatness including current RCA MA student Ji Won Cha, whose thought-provoking artworks delve into the intricate relationship between landscapes and our sense of belonging; Ayumi Matsuma, a graduate of the New York Academy of Art, who has exhibited her artworks at prestigious galleries such as Flowers Gallery, Art Miami, and Sotheby’s, New York; and recent RCA graduate Alya Hatta, whose practice explores the Southeast Asian identity through the interplay of colour and form.
