Sharon Hayes, We are the people, 2016

About the artwork
Hayes looked specifically at queer and feminist archives across the US and UK which document gay rights, and women's liberation. Working with both the content of these archives and how they are disseminated, Hayes restaged and re-presented material that ranges from the seemingly mundane or administrative, to more effective forms. This edition contains a tightly cropped image taken from the Gay Liberation Front's 1971 manifesto. On Sale £96 (RP £160) Jimmy Merris, EAU PREMIÉRE, 2014 Colour screen print on rainbow mirror card 29.7 x 21cm About the artwork One colour screen print on rainbow mirror card featuring artwork based on a fake version of a well-known luxury perfume found in the artist's local Peckham pound shop. On Sale £36 (RP £120) Oliver Osborne, Untitled, 2016 Risograph print on 120gsm 42cm x 29.7cm About the artworkOsborne has become best known for his large-scale paintings combining abstract fields of colour with black and white cartoons drawn from European textbooks. These often abut intimate closeups of plants, fruits and bodies, unapologetically skilled renderings which stage playful juxtapositions between immediately recognizable genres.
While Osborne's cartoon images are identifiably appropriated, the artist has related how his photo-realistic works are also appropriations of 'a certain type of painting', within which oil painting might be considered another 'technology' through which to produce images.
On Sale £72 (RP £120)
Alan Michael, Flags at Le Havre, 2008
Digital print on paper 375 x 520mm
About the artist
Alan Michael interested in the idea of things colliding and works a puzzling and eclectic array of imagery into his canvases, with references drawn from both high and low culture. Text, clothing, plants, cars and figures appropriated from art historical and media sources are grouped, repeated or reflected in his compositions with apparent indifference. Sometimes reminiscent of the cool, slick finish of advertising, his painterly style, like his artistic intentions, is hard to pin down. Using a seemingly impenetrable and private language to skew the familiar, his paintings are impersonal yet beguiling and goad the viewer to disentangle a narrative of connections. On Sale £50 (RP £160) Ryan Gander, Tremendous potential but limited opportunity, 2019 A set of eight sterling silver Monopoly pieces About the artworkA set of 8 custom-made Monopoly counters cast in sterling silver to replace the existing pieces on a Monopoly board.
The counters represent everyday objects that one may associate with the mechanical means of property construction and maintenance including a plastic garden chair, a stack of old tyres, a skip full of rubble, a portable toilet cubicle, a pile of three building bricks, two traffic cones, a portable electricity generator on a trailer and a shipping container.
