IMPORTANT BIDDING INFORMATION
Each artwork shows a current bid and when that bid last changed. Because we are accepting bids online, by email, in person and over the phone we will be regularly updating the current bid with the highest bid placed by any of these methods. As the bidding deadline (4pm UK time on Sunday 9 March 2025) gets closer we will aim to update the current bid more frequently, but we aren't able to guarantee the current bid shown will reflect the highest bid, so please bear this in mind when bidding. If for any reason the website crashes or the phones are busy, please email us your bid, as long as we receive it before the deadline your bid will be included - make sure to include the item you wish to bid on and your bid please.
Please make sure you have read our bidding disclaimer before bidding. If you place a bid, you will be returned to the the main auction page if your bid is successfuly submitted. If in doubt, please give us a ring on 01227 281174.
Once the auction has ended, winning bidders will be contacted via email with an invoice and payment can be made online, over the phone or in person.
If you are unable to collect artwork we are happy to package the artwork for delivery, but you will need to organise the courier after the auction has completed and this may not be appropriate for some items.
Happy bidding!
My Mechanical Heart by Debs Smith
Mixed media assemblage on canvas12 x 12cm
Debs is a Multi/Mixed Media Artist, who enjoys trying different techniques, styles and using different media. Having moved from Bedfordshire to Herne Bay over 20 years ago she rediscovered her love of drawing and discovered acrylic paint! A couple of years ago she discovered the wonderful medium of polymer resin. The idea that she could create her own resin elements and create pieces of 3D art out of them led her down a rabbit hole she is not sure how to get out of!! Or indeed if she wants to! Creating a piece of art with some blank pieces of resin and some acrylic paint or ink can be extremely rewarding!
This piece uses both acrylic ink and hand cast resin pieces, each piece is covered in gesso and then coloured with either acrylic paint and wax or just coloured wax. Which are then adhered to each other using a heavy duty gel medium. Each 3D assemblage comes together by what elements are available and how they all fit in together. Debs can also can often be found with pastel pencils drawing something from nature and trying to recapture all the details (usually while waiting for the glue to set on her 3D assemblages! Or preparing for her monthly Mixed Media Art Journal workshops which are held at The Horsebrige in Whitstable and The Spitfire Museum In Manston.
Commissions are always welcome.
