2021 Modern Art is a second internet gallery run by Red Raven Arts. It stocks an eclectic range of modernist and contemporary global art from the 20th and 21st centuries. Prices of original works range from £250 to £5,000, limited edition prints from just £75.
2021 caters to more diverse tastes than the main Red Raven Arts site. Whilst www.redravenarts.com focuses ever more tightly on abstract and expressionist works from the period 1955-1980, 2021 will have greater freedom to show works that appeal to us whatever their genre.
We have paintings by around 100 artists from Africa, through Europe to South East Asia including Richard Beer, Paul Binnie, Cesar Buenaventura, Jeffrey Dennis, Fred Dubery, Bernard Farmer, Reginald Gray, Sam Haile, Eugen Hersch, Robert Marchessault, Halima Nalecz, Kent Onah, Barbara Rae, Lincoln Seligman, Ed Smith and Sam Songo.
NEWS Latest Update : 30 JULY 2010 FOCUS: SIMON YEW, CHINESE-MALAYAN PIONEER ARTIST
Datuk Simon Chong Yew spearheaded the development of art in Sabah, Malaysia in the 1930s, painting local scenes of North Borneo life. He was born in China in 1898, moving to North Borneo in 1923. An accomplished artist, particularly in watercolours, Yew in 1955 was awarded an MBE for his services to scouting. From 1957 Yew also turned to oils. He died in 1983. His work is held by the Sabah Art Gallery and the Peabody Museum, Salem, Massachusetts in the United States. A monograph was published on Yew’s art in 1996 and his paintings were used to illustrate Maxwell Hall’s books Kinabalu Guerillas and Labuan Story.
Other paintings illustrated this month also come from China or South East Asia.
