This year’s annual Winter Auction signifies the end of an era; after 11 years, it will be the final large-scale auction held by Art on a Postcard and the Hepatitis C Trust. Since its founding in 2002, The Hepatitis C Trust has achieved extraordinary progress, evolving from a small patient-led organisation leading the call for the elimination of hepatitis C into a national, peer-led charity delivering tailored support services to the most marginalised populations within NHS England’s hepatitis C elimination programme. Today, the UK stands on the brink of becoming one of the first countries in the world to eliminate hepatitis C.
Andrew Torr
Lots 1 - 52
Andrew Torr is a British painter whose work delves into the emotional and psychological landscapes of urban and suburban Britain. His oil paintings, characterised by a balance between figuration and abstraction, capture the nuanced interplay of light, structure, and atmosphere in everyday environments.
Torr's practice encompasses several series that explore different facets of the British landscape. His 'Nocturnes' series presents London’s commons at dusk, where the interplay of natural and artificial light creates skyscapes full of drama. In his 'Thames' series, initiated during lockdown, Torr shifts focus to the river's expanse, using elevated horizons to transform water into a central, almost abstract, element. More recently, his 'Estates' series brings attention to the often-overlooked architecture of UK council estates, portraying them with a sense of dignity and quiet presence.
Torr recently won the Jackson’s Art Prize, 2024, for his painting 'Estate'. His work has been exhibited in notable venues such as the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition (2024), the New English Art Club Annual Exhibition (2022–2024), and solo exhibitions such as 'Nocturnes' at Liminal Gallery, in collaboration with the AOP Gallery, in Margate (2023).
