Untitled by Sir Terry Frost

Limited Edition Print 6 of 75, 1975, 89 x 71cm (in frame)

This auction lot will be closed at the silent Love & Life charity auction on Saturday 17 October 2015 at Watts Gallery – Artists’ Village. Please read the Live Bidding Conditions below for more information.

Sir Terry Frost RA (1915 – 2003) was an English abstract artist who began painting whilst a prisoner of war in Germany in 1943. He lived and worked largely in Cornwall and Yorkshire. From the 1960s onwards Frost’s work became increasingly interested in colour as a presence or character in itself. The characteristic style of his style created looped and heaped weights of colour that seemingly bulge from his canvases, sometimes later becoming three-dimensional in his collages or sculpture.

This item was donated by John & Kate Siebert to support Watts Gallery Trust & Transplant Links Community

The Cause

Watts Gallery Trust and Transplant Links Community (TLC) have joined forces to host a charity auction to raise money for these two life-transforming charities. Watts Gallery Trust and TLC have come together for many reasons, but ultimately because they share a common belief: the power of art and social conscience.

TLC is a medical charity that directly saves the lives of children and adults with kidney failure in developing countries and teaches skills to local doctors so that many more can benefit in future. G F Watts, a Royal Academician and contributor to the founding collection of Tate, believed in the connection between art and social conscience and the power of art to change people’s lives. His vision continues today through the Watts Gallery Trust Art for All Big Issues programme reaching excluded groups such as prisoners, young offenders, reformed drug users, homeless, and those with mental health difficulties. Perdita Hunt OBE, DL Director of Watts Gallery Trust, and the other staff keep this vision at the heart of everything they do. TLC’s CEO, Dr Jennie Jewitt-Harris, is also currently Artist in Residence at Watts Gallery, combining her medical work abroad with her love of fine art.
