The Art on a Postcard Summer auction event is fast drawing to a close, you only have until July 6th to explore the four-hundred or so pieces of postcard sized art, before it all closes. There’s some big names involved, there’s also some rather exciting new names alongside some of the regular participants, it is delightfully difficult to narrow it down to just six images but that is exactly what we have invited a number of people to do.

The whole auction can be explored on line via the auction website although, yes, maybe the art does look a little flat and lifeless on there? I rather thought, when seen in the flesh at the one night viewing at Hoxton Gallery here in London last week, the cards started jumping off the wall, the colour came to life, and yes, I would point out that every single card, every piece of art, looks far more exciting in real life than it does on line on the auction site. Bid with confidence people, justice is not quite being done on line (as it rarely is with an exciting painting). I did select my own six but now I look again, I could easily select an alternative six. Explore the photos from last week’s viewing, explore the auction, from what I see there’s some exciting art that’s about to sell at a stupidly low prices, and yes, it is about fund raising, this is the fifth annual Summer Auction in support of The Hepatitis C Trust, all the art has been donated by the artists and all profits go to the trust… (sw)
