Art as Provocation and Reflection: A Curated Evening at Artscapy

We are thrilled to announce an exclusive showcase of curated artworks at the upcoming Artscapy office event on November 22nd, featuring a selection of striking pieces that highlight the diversity and dynamism of contemporary art. This collection brings together politically charged statements, vibrant cultural reflections, minimalist wit, and abstract sophistication, offering a captivating journey for attendees and collectors alike.

The collection includes Banksy’s iconic “Happy Choppers,” a powerful piece that juxtaposes military might with soft pink bows in classic Banksy irony. This unsigned work retains all the impact of his renowned visual protest, inviting viewers to question authority and militarism while bringing Banksy’s subversive touch to our event. Banksy’s market value remains high due to his influence in contemporary art, making “Happy Choppers” a compelling highlight for those intrigued by art as social commentary.

Also featured is Boris Nzebo’s “Negociation,” a vibrant portrayal of African urban life that intertwines traditional motifs with street art. Nzebo’s work, layered with intricate patterns and bright colours, offers a window into the dynamics of identity and community. As Nzebo’s reputation grows internationally, his works are becoming increasingly valuable, offering guests the chance to experience and invest in an artist whose cultural narratives resonate globally.

Adding a serene, meditative quality to the selection, Loie Hollowell’s “Red Earth” draws from abstracted natural forms to create a piece that is visually grounding yet deeply evocative. Known for her sensual, shape-driven compositions, Hollowell is a rapidly rising star in contemporary art, with a strong collector following. “Red Earth” provides an opportunity for attendees to connect with her unique artistic language and to consider an investment in an artist whose market presence continues to ascend.

In a playful contrast, David Shrigley’s “Vibes” injects humour and bold simplicity. Shrigley’s red and white lines paired with a wry “Vibes” text reflect his distinctive approach to everyday absurdities. His approachable yet thought-provoking works have made him a favourite among collectors interested in conceptual and accessible art. This piece adds an element of light-hearted engagement to the event, reminding us of art’s ability to entertain and disarm.

Finally, we are honoured to display two pieces by Gerhard Richter—“PAMUL” and “ROCYN.” These works exemplify Richter’s skill in abstraction, capturing viewers with their depth and ambiguity. As one of the world’s most celebrated living artists, Richter’s presence in this showcase underscores the event’s calibre. For those looking to invest, Richter’s works are both financially and culturally valuable, reinforcing a collection’s sophistication and potential appreciation.

The Artscapy office event on November 22nd will provide an intimate setting for guests to engage with these remarkable works, each of which invites unique perspectives on contemporary themes. From Banksy’s bold critiques to Richter’s contemplative abstractions, this selection speaks to the power of art to provoke thought and dialogue. Whether you're an established collector or exploring new artists, this showcase promises a rewarding experience and offers exclusive opportunities to enrich your collection. We look forward to welcoming you to an evening of art, insight, and inspiration.
