The Live Auction Collection:
Curated by Alison Postma

For this auction, I curated a selection of artworks from artists whose practices I have long admired. I aimed to showcase a diverse range of approaches, focusing on those whose work spans multiple disciplines or has recently evolved. Each artist brings a unique blend of disciplines and fresh perspectives: Nik October-Clydesdale blends a practice of ceramics and illustration; Amanda Boulos shifts from bold oil paintings to delicate cutout paper works; David Kaarsemaker moves from structured, formal paintings to joyful scenes inspired by hiking; and Allison Morris explores new dimensions with miniatures that subtly reframe self-portraiture.
