An Art on a Postcard Mini Auction in Collaboration With The Bomb Factory

About 

Coleman’s work pushes at the limits of designed experience, bumping up against architecture, typography, signage and the decorative; reframing and making obvious the established edges of the aesthetic conditions that shape and reflect the societies, spaces and images that we move through.

Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork   

After' is a series of works that builds around ideas of the portability and transferability of images, artworks and experiences. Originally produced as an open and ongoing set of vinyl interventions onto the surface of gallery and souvenir postcards, these works have been scanned from the altered originals and are presented here as photographic works, flattening the hand production and adding a further distancing layer. 

Please do not bid on artwork in our Art on a Postcard auctions if you intend on selling the artwork after you have purchased it. This auction has been organised for charity and all artworks have been generously donated by the artists to raise money for the Hepatitis C Trust. When the work produced for the charity is sold on the secondary market it damages our relationship with the artist and prevents us from fundraising.
