This year’s annual Winter Auction signifies the end of an era; after 11 years, it will be the final large-scale postcard 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.
Writer and curator Debbie Meniru, who has worked in curatorial roles at Tate and the Hayward Gallery, has invited emerging and established artists, including Liberian British multidisciplinary artist Lina Iris Viktor, ceramicist Lindsey Mendick, and London-based artist Phoebe Boswell whose recent work explores bodies of water as both repositories of painful historical experience and sites of renewal and hope.
Lily Ackerman, Founder of the art consultancy Ackerman Studios, has a lineup that includes Bruce McLean, the renowned Scottish sculptor and performance artist. Amy Judd, whose work is inspired by mythology, folklore and tales from throughout history, collage artist Maria Rivans, and multimedia artist and author Hormazd Narielwalla.
Long-time AOAP favourite artist Andrew Torr has curated a line-up of artists highly popular among AOAP buyers, including urban landscape artist Mandy Payne, who has been much loved in our auctions since 2015, Jen Orpin, whose work focuses on contemporary landscapes highlighting the often overlooked, liminal spaces and brutalist structures within the topographies of our everyday, and Lisa Ivory, who explores ‘the concept of Otherness and its inherent duality of fear and attraction’.
Visionary curator Ryan Lanji has a stellar lineup, including the legendary photographer Sunil Gupta, who has spent his career addressing the wrongs suffered by gay men, award-winning, multidisciplinary artist Sarah Maple and Indian British artist Jagit Chuchan, whose female figures in rooms prompt discussions of refuge, home and unhome.
Art on a Postcard’s lineup is full of exciting artists that make AOAP auctions stand out. This year’s roster includes New York-based artist Dike Blair, AOAP favourite Darren Reid, multidisciplinary British artist Julian Opie and recent RA elect, Sikelela Owen, whose central themes include intimacy and community.
The show will be open from 10am-4pm on Saturday 27 September at The Bomb Factory in Marylebone for those who can’t make it to the evening Private View.
“Eleven years in, Art on a Postcard has become more than a fundraising tool—it’s a way to discover great artists and own quality work without the gallery markup. The best part? It supports a cause close to me” comments Art on a Postcard Founder Gemma Peppe.
“When I first joined The Hepatitis C Trust, I’d just failed a brutal year of treatment and was told there were no options left. Now, 12 years post-cure, with a 97% success rate for new treatments, hepatitis C is becoming a solvable problem.
“This project proves that art can drive real change—not just in collectors’ homes, but in people’s lives.”
