This striking overpainted book cover by Georg Baselitz, titled Art Edition (Overpainted cover) (2021), transforms a traditionally functional object into a vivid work of art. Painted in bold yellow with expressive black linear forms, the piece evokes themes of fragmentation and inversion, hallmarks of Baselitz’s oeuvre. The gestural marks suggest human and organic forms in flux, echoing the artist’s ongoing exploration of identity and disorientation. This work aligns with Baselitz’s characteristic raw energy and abstract figuration, though its application on a book cover presents an unusual and compelling deviation in medium while retaining his distinctive visual language.
Chris Levine’s She’s Light (Kate Moss) (2014) is a mesmerising screenprint that captures the supermodel in an ethereal, almost meditative state. Her closed eyes, luminous skin, and striking red lips evoke a sense of tranquillity and transcendence, reflecting Levine’s fascination with light and perception. This work is part of Levine’s ongoing exploration of portraiture through advanced technology and laser imagery, much like his renowned depictions of Queen Elizabeth II. She’s Light aligns with his signature style, blending celebrity iconography with a spiritual, almost holographic quality, elevating the subject beyond the material world.
In the Line of Fire is a powerful black-and-white photograph by David Yarrow, capturing a lion mid-stride with arresting clarity and compositional precision. Shot in 2024, the work exemplifies Yarrow’s signature approach to wildlife photography—dramatic close-ups, high contrast, and emotive intensity. The lion’s direct gaze and the rising dust underscore themes of majesty, confrontation, and survival. Characteristic of Yarrow’s oeuvre, the image blends raw naturalism with cinematic grandeur, reflecting his ongoing mission to spotlight the vulnerability and dignity of Earth’s most iconic creatures through meticulously composed, large-format photography.Photographed in South Africa.

Daylight Away exemplifies his exploration of cultural identity and hybridity, showcasing a seamless interplay of chaos and harmony. This piece aligns strongly with his typical work, embodying his unique visual language and thematic depth.Signed
