AOAP Projects Formally Art on a Postcard. Not-for-profit. Buy original works of art from the world's leading artists. Proceeds go to charity. https://linktr.ee/artonapostcard

Art on a Postcard raises money for The Hepatitis C Trust through an annual secret postcard auction and ‘postcard lotteries’ which occur throughout the year. In 2017 we will introduce Photography on a Postcard and Art on a Ukulele to our fundraising activities. We have had postcard sized artwork donated from well established artists such as Sir Peter Blake, Damien Hirst, Harland Miller, Gavin Turk,

Rachel Howard, Gilbert and George, Polly Morgan, John Wragg RA, Stephen Chambers RA, Michael Craig-Martin, Chantal Joffe, Cecily Brown, Grayson Perry, Julian Opie and Jeremy Deller. We believe that Hepatitis C can be eliminated as a major health concern by 2030 and all funds by raised by us support The Hepatitis C in their campaigns to achieve this goal. In 2015 Scotland signed up to our program of elimination. In 2016 The Hepatitis C Trust’s campaigning led to not only Westminster and the World Health Assembly agreeing to a program of elimination. The Hepatitis C Trust is the national UK charity for hepatitis C. It was founded and is now led and run by people with personal experience of hepatitis C and almost all of our Board, staff and volunteers either have hepatitis C or have had it and cleared it after treatment. Historically, hepatitis C has been neglected, partly because there has been no concerted patient voice. People with hepatitis C have typically kept quiet because it is infectious and because it has been wrongly stigmatised as ‘a drug users’ disease’. The Trust is committed to changing this, by:

• Raising public awareness that this is a virus that can be contracted in many ways

• Ending discrimination against people living with hepatitis C

• Creating an active community of patients willing to stand up and be heard

• Providing information, support and representation for people with hepatitis C

Steyaert explores the relationship between sculpture and painting, creating works that float between the mediums, drawing on themes of grandeur, memory, and sensory immersion. Her practice explores silicone’s aesthetic quality, alongside canvas, oil paint and wood, drawing from architecture and painting. Steyaert’s creative process is intuitive, pouring and shaping silicone meticulously. The resulting delicate yet powerful forms challenge our perception of painting and sculpture, capturing movement and abstraction. ⁠
⁠
Steyaert’s art encourages alternative perspectives and interpretations, evading traditional boundaries of painting and sculpture. It embodies the transgressive nature of contemporary artistic expression, an ever-evolving practice inviting curiosity and contemplation. ⁠

Trevor Sutton is a non-figurative artist, painter and printmaker, who frequently refers to the architecture of specific structures, often modest façades like those of rural farm buildings or urban industrial buildings. He employs grids and simple geometric formations and his colour is intuitive and reactive, encouraging shifting patterns and rhythms that suggest a kind of visual music.Working materials include oil paint, collage and watercolour. ⁠
⁠
He has exhibited widely in both the UK and internationally, with notable solo exhibitions at Eagle Gallery, Zuleika Gallery, and Cairn Gallery, alongside projects in Japan at Concept Space. His work has also featured in major institutional group exhibitions, including multiple appearances at the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition and shows at the Sainsbury Centre and Ballinglen Museum of Art. ⁠

⁠
Inspired by feminism and the politics of s*xual liberation, Caroline C**n’s paintings contest binary notions of gender and oppressive patriarchal values. Her works cover a variety of subjects including s*x workers, beachgoers, inters*x people, still lives, football players and urban landscapes. All are united by C**n’s unwavering rebellion against the status quo ⁠

Julia Fullerton-Batten is a fine-art photographer renowned for her highly cinematic visual story-telling. Her large-scale projects are based around specific themes. Each image in the project embellishes her subject matter in a series of thought-provoking narrative ‘stories' using staged tableaux and sophisticated lighting techniques. ⁠
⁠
Julia’s use of unusual locations, highly creative settings, street-cast models, accented with cinematic lighting are hallmarks of her style. She insinuates visual tensions in her images and imbues them with a mystique that teases the viewer into continually re-examining the picture; something new coming to the fore each time. ⁠

⭐️Ones to Watch ⭐️⁠
⁠
While our summer show 'Illuminated' at The Royal Society of Arts showcases a diverse range of established names, we’re also thrilled to highlight a selection of emerging & early career artists whose bold visions are shaping the future of contemporary art.⁠
⁠
Including recent graduates and emerging creatives who have already made a splash on the art scene, such as... ⁠
⁠
Joseph Mobolaji Aina whose work investigates identity, Blackness, and cultural symbolism, often drawing on theorists like Frantz Fanon⁠
⁠
Harriet Gillett whose work responds to a world where time, images, and memory blur together. ⁠
⁠
Yulia Zinshtein whose work explores figures, colours and textures to evoke moods and memories for the viewer - world building with gestures and tropes from cinema.⁠
⁠
⁠Kyungseo Lee through erotically charged imagery, she explores ambivalence around body image, desire, and emotional contradictions. ⁠

Donna McLean paints polarity & paradox. Elements that sit side by side with its opposite - light/dark, beauty/revulsion, seduction/unease. Deadly bombs are scaled down to gem like miniatures, luminous film scenes that simultaneously seduce & disturb.

⁠
"In my art I use figurative forms, executed in a manner that appears easy and immediate. I do this because I feel art should be understood as something natural, like breathing, that comes spontaneously from all people. In each work my goal is to create a structure for thought and feeling that is both universal and specific. Though originally trained as a filmmaker, I now work primarily in painting. In recent years I have become increasingly interested in the projection of human experience onto the natural world. I employ elements of pathetic fallacy and cartoon form in a calculated way to imbue figures with both sincerity and irony, liveliness and psychology. I also seek to call into question the hierarchies of taste and value that structure both art and our view of the natural world. Through humour, tenderness and pessimism I show the condition of precarity shared by all life on our radically changing planet." ⁠
⁠
David has been exhibited internationally at galleries and institutions including Timothy Taylor Gallery (New York), Powerlong Museum (China) & Saatchi Gallery (London). ⁠

Morwenna Morrison’s work explores the porous boundaries between past and present, myth and memory, psychological depth and painterly surface. Using collage effects, layering and juxtaposition, each painted canvas asks what endures, what is lost, and how we recognise ourselves across centuries and contexts. ⁠

⁠
Dani Trew (b. 1991 in South Africa, raised in London) explores personal mythologies and notions of femininity through her drawings and paintings. Influenced by her career as a design historian and curator, as well as her multicultural background, Trew’s drawings and paintings use disparate objects, textiles, and architectural features to examine tensions within internal worlds and narratives. Her work is characterised by exquisite detailing and the fusion of contemporary fashion with these art historical references, creating paintings which have both a sense of stillness and a psychological intensity. ⁠
