I was really pleased to be able to provide a piece of work for inclusion in the annual Nottingham Trent University Fine Art Auction held on April 13th in the Bonington Building atrium.
Coherent Points (Surface) is a limited edition silk screen print developed from work using scanned laser light onto a rotating structure. One of the artist proofs was part of a wide range of lots on the night which ranged from painting, construction, photography, ans sculpture.
There was a stunning collection of work from staff, students (current and past), visiting lecturers and friends of the course. Funds from the sale of work are used by the third year fine art students to produce and promote their end of course degree show and catalogue.
Bidding was 'energetic' and there were some rather 'stellar' prices with students and staff competing to grab their favourite lots. A great evening with some of the best food I’ve had at a student event - all lovingly prepared and given away free of charge by the organising students. They know how to draw punters!
Massive congratulations to the team which organised the auction which raised several thousand pounds on the night.
I managed to get hold of a pice of work from an artist I have had my ‘eye on’ for some time and have been outbid in previous years. This year was certainly my year!!
Two works on paper have been included in two separate auctions to help raise funds for creative activities.
Fragment Top Left (Red), was auctioned for a Nottingham Trent University Alumni fundraising evening which aimes to support the Saturday Art Club at the university.
Flat Projection, was specially made for an auction organised by third year BA (Hons) fine art students, to raise funds for their 2015 degree show.
Both events included artworks donated by university staff, alumni and students and raised significant amounts for each project.
